already fused creature). The fused creature is a Medium
humanoid that replaces you in your space. It has two actions
each round, but one action can only involve purely mental
activity, such as casting a spell with no components or
manifesting a psionic power. You control all of the fused
creature’s actions, but you can relinquish control to the other
creature comprising the fused being at any time without
using an action. If you relinquish control of the fused being,
you cannot regain it until the other creature relinquishes it
back to you.
The fused creature’s current and maximum hit point total
is equal to the sum of both creature’s respective hit point
totals. It has access to all racial and class features of both
creatures (including proficiencies, spell slots available, psi
point reserves, spells prepared, cantrips, spells and augments
known, etc.). The fused creature uses the higher of either
creature’s bonuses for any given attack roll, ability check, or
saving throw, and has the higher of either creature’s score in
every ability score.
