This ability can be taken multiple times. Its effects stack. If the Hollow has multiple energy shields, they are all improved with each instance of this ability.
Joyas De El Diablos
There seems to be no explanation why Hollows who reach Segunda Etapa receive such extreme power no one really cares because researchers usually end up dead before they get a chance to study them. These powers are incredibly powerful and can make the difference in a fight quickly. These powers, of course, become unavailable when the Segunda Etapa is not active.
Regeneración Hiperactiva
Prerequisites: None
Hollow are notorious for their ability to heal quickly, this power is the pinnacle of regeneration and if not stopped quickly will spell doom as they fight against the unstoppable Juggernaut it creates. The user gains Fast healing/25 and can regenerate limbs in 1d3 rounds, this power follows the same rules as the weaker form of fast healing however it does not fully stop Hyper Regeneration, instead the regeneration rate is increased 2d3 rounds and Fast healing ceases to function until the cooldown for regeneration is up. This stacks with the lesser form of Fast healing and only fast healing however can only be taken once.
El Monstruo Destructor Indomable
Prerequisites: None
The Indomitable Juggernaut is a forced to be reckoned with. Unlike others the Juggernaut does not die at half hit points, in order to die he must reach his full Hit point total in negative in order to die. The Juggernaut will not go unconscious until death. Instead of getting weaker the Juggernaut only becomes more powerful the closer he is to death. At 0 HP the Juggernaut gains DR/25, at ¼ his HP total negative his DR increases again by 25, at half it increases once more and a final time at ¾ his total HP in negative. Should his HP restore these bonuses are immediately lost. This stacks with other forms of DR.
La Velocidad es Energía
Prerequisites: None
Unlike the Indomitable Juggernaut the Segunda Etapa that applies this Joyas de el Diablo becomes speed incarnate. Upon gaining this power the user becomes capable of dodging blows like never before . Should the user have his AC beat they can roll 2d6+ their dex modifier and add it to their AC, every subsequent use in the same round lowers the dex modifier bonus by one point, the bonus recovers each round it isn't used more than once. They also gain a swift action after any action that is not a move action. If the user is grappled or helpless this ability is nullified. The defense roll is still subject to flat footed rules. The users base movement increases by 30 feet and if they have flight it becomes perfect.
Lluvia Cero:
Prerequisites: None
The Cero rain is one of the most dangeous Joyas de el Diablo. The hollow's reiatsu has grown so powerful that they can fire off ceros repeatedly without fail and gain access to a far more powerful cero. This allows the Segunda Etapa to have no limit on the amount of cero's they may fire however because these ceros are similar to rapid fire it requires the user to aim much better. This requires the user's ceros to make a ranged attack action to hit. This ability also reduces ceros to only an attack action. The target is still afforded a reflex save but instead of using the hollow's constitution modifier to decide the DC they use their highest modifier instead. This ability also negates improved evasion, gran ray ceroes can be used in this manner but at a -5 penalty. This also grants access to a much more powerful cero, this cero can only be used no more than once an encounter. This cero has no particular name as most have never seen it and those who have usually end up being wiped from existence. This cero has a cone that is over 30 feet wide and does 4d6 per HD.
Presencia la Debilidad
Level: Joyas de el Diablo
Prerequisites: Reflection
The sheer power of the Hollow shows itself, debilitating its victims. All creatures within 30ft of the Hollow must make a Fort save (DC 10 + 1/2 Level + Con modifier) or take 2 Con and 2 Str damage. This includes people who just entered the AoE this turn, even if they move out of the Area of Effect. This ability damage heals faster than normal, 1 point per ten rounds. This ability may be activated as a Move action, and it lasts until the beginning of the Hollow's next turn. The Hollow cannot use Deflection or Reflection while this ability is active.
