Symbiotes have access to some familiar abilities that others may find
near impossible to attain.
Linked Stimulation: So long as you are currently able to use Divine
Stimulation, your familiar can instead spend the actions and deliver the
ability to an ally within its reach. Doing so expends your use of Divine

Your familiar is a carrier of your parasite. Your familiar can make a
melee attack with an attack roll modifier equal to your spell attack roll
modifier. On a success, it inflicts your parasite’s persistent damage on
a creature in its reach. You must have a spell attack roll modifier and
be capable of dealing persistent damage due to a symbiote feat or class
feature to select this ability.

Symbiote Multiclass
MULTICLASS ARCHETYPES
Archetypes with the multiclass trait represent diversifying your training
into another class’s specialties. You can’t select a multiclass archetype’s
dedication feat if you are a member of the class of the same name (for
instance, a symbiote can’t select the symbiote Dedication feat).

MULTICLASS SYMBIOTES
The symbiote archetype is great for characters that enjoy getting under
people’s skin, literally. Their infectious bent and specialty with disease
gives them a unique opportunity for role-play and as a force of horrifying
affliction on the battlefield. Whether it is a distinct entity that sought out
your character, a circumstantial infestation, or the serendipitous survival
of another symbiote’s contagion that brought on this change, you
are a changed person.

longer immune to your contagion.
Helminth Parasite Your swollen arm becomes as hard as stone. Though
mostly immobile and losing the ability to hold items with that hand, you
otherwise still consider the hand free. You can use an action to lift your
arm to defend yourself, granting you a +1 circumstance bonus to AC.
You gain a petrified arm unarmed Strike that deals 1d8 bludgeoning
damage and have the shove and forceful traits. This unarmed Strike is in the
brawling group and treats the hardness of objects as 1 lower for every 2 levels
