Minim tonals have physical forms very similar to bubbles of light. These forms vary in size and colour according to each tonal's status. The colour varies during communication, but the size is constant. The diameter of a minim is 28ft. A minim is lighter coloured, ranging from white to pinkish yellow.
As with all tonals, a minim's form collapses when its hit points reach zero. Its flimsy outer skin may be gathered and compressed to form a small object similar to a sling stone. This may then be used as a weapon, for it explodes on impact and releases one final blast of a strength and size equal to the original tonal's.
Minims are moderate in size and power for a tonal.
Combat
Tonals are usually quite sociable creatures and will only attack in self defence. Atonals are aggressive and dangerous to the unwary. Both types can only attack with Mind Power and sonic blasts.
Mind Power (Sp): As a swift round action, a Minim tonal may create a variety of spell-like effects at the expenditure of Power Points. It possesses 2000 Power Points. Power Points regenerate with rest at the rate of 1 PP per minute of rest. Minims are associated with the Sphere of Energy. The following are typical uses for the Power Points:
• A Minim tonal can cast any mortal spell at 25th level, but that costs it double the spell level in PP (for example, a fire ball would cost it 6 PP). They are limited to spells and effects that have the [Sonic] descriptor.
• A Minim tonal may cast the immortal spells power attack (2 PP per 1d6, up to 28d6), probe (5 PP) and probe-shield (5 PP).
Sonic Blast (Sp): As a standard action, a Minim tonal may unleash a sonic blast. Every creature within 28ft of the Minim tonal must make a Fort save vs DC 41 (Con based, +8 racial bonus) or suffer 16 points of sonic damage and be deafened for 8 rounds.
Potent Magic (Ex): Unlike mortal creatures, a tonal can affect an immortal with its magical attacks.
Tonal Immunities (Ex): All tonals are immune to silence effects. Tonals have 100% immunity to all damage from non-magical sources. Tonals are immune to all ability damage and drains.
