Minor Grafts
Ghostly Arm
Minor Graft
Required Level: 1st
Grafting DC: 12
Slot: One arm
Benefit: This gray, incorporeal arm can’t be used to manipulate solid objects. However, the grafted creature can use the ghostly arm to deliver an incorporeal touch attack that deals 1d6 points of damage, the equivalent of a ghost’s corrupting touch attack. Treat the arm as a secondary weapon, but because it is incorporeal the arm has no Strength score and therefore gains no bonus or penalty on damage rolls from the user’s Strength.
Penalty: Arm cannot manipulate corporeal objects
Desecration: For every two corpuscles, the touch attack deals an additional 1d6 damage.
Skeletal Hand

Desecration: For every two corpuscles, the claw attack increases by one size.
Undead Skin
Minor Graft
Required Level: 1st
Grafting DC: 12

In addition, three times per day the grafted creature can deliver mummy rot with a slam attack. The choice to use mummy rot must be made before the attack is rolled; if the attack misses, the daily use is lost. The Fortitude save to resist is 10 + 1/2 character level + Charisma modifier.
Penalty: Any action using the withered hand takes a -1 penalty.

The creature must also succeed on a subsequent DC 20 Will saving throw (regardless of whether it succeeds on the first save) or be nauseated for 1 round. In each round that a creature takes damage from the rotting aura, the grafted creature heals 5 points of damage per victim. This save DC is charisma based.
