Editing LeviathanTempest:ChapterFour (section)

==== Magnanimous Host to All  (Ancestral Channel) ====
''Teeming with symbiotic creatures that can not properly survive in the lessened world, the Leviathan's body sustains these creatures in exchange for the benefits they provide.''

When the Leviathan gains this Channel, he designates a Symbiont skill. 

* “Depth 0”: Birthright of Fecundity
* “Depth 1”: The Leviathan's symbiont skill gains the 9-again property. 
* “Depth 2”: As above, but now the symbiont skill gains the 8-again property. 
* “Depth 3”: As above, and +1 dice to the symbiont skill. 
* “Depth 4”: As above, and instead +2 dice to the symbiont skill. 
* “Depth 5”: As above, and the Leviathan reflexively chooses a second skill to gain the above benefits. The Leviathan may choose a different skill each time he reaches this Depth, and ignores Untrained penalties.
* “Depth 6”: As above, and when acting unopposed or unresisted the Leviathan may expend 1 Willpower to perform a check with a symbiont skill as a rote action. 

The Leviathan chooses only the best re-roll mechanic (9-again, 8-again, rote action, automatic successes) for any given roll. Additional dice provided by this Channel do not stack with dice bonuses from skill-based Ancestral Channels. Otherwise, all bonuses apply. 

'''Adaptations'''

Multitudinous Horde (OO to OOOOO): The Leviathan may designate multiple Symbiont skills (up to his dots in this Adaptation) and choose which one to apply this Channel's benefits to. He may reflexively switch between skills for 1 Ichor.

One in Many (OOOO, Requires One Brain Many Minds, No Mysteries of the Flesh, Sheol 4): When transforming into Depth 6, or with a Transformation action in Depth 6, the Leviathan may choose to become a swarm of creatures. See [[Chapter 5 | http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/LeviathanTempest:ChapterFive#Sidebar:_Swarms]] for rules on swarms. A Leviathan who favors this Adaptation over their regular Apotheosis may start to display markers of the swarm and colony organisms even in lesser Depths. This Adaptation always turns the Leviathan into a swarm with Size equal to their Apotheosis form (the A Mountain Walked Adaptation if currently active is included), when they revert any lost Size is translated into Lethal damage at the usual rate. Dead creatures fail to reintegrate leaving gaping pits of flesh.
