Special Abilities

Stinger (Ex) As a ranged attack, a Swarm antecursor can launch a poisoned stinger from its tail with a range increment of 50 feet. Each stinger is coated with a paralytic neurotoxin (see below). Swarm Mind (Ex) Members of the Swarm are bound together into a singular hive mind by a blend of exuded pheromones, imperceptible movements of antennae and limbs, electrostatic fields, and telepathic communication. All Swarm creatures with 30 feet of each other are in constant communication; if one is aware of a threat, all are. (Such awareness can spread along a “chain” of Swarm creatures under appropriate circumstances, potentially alerting distant Swarm creatures). In addition, once per round when within 30 feet of another Swarm creature, a Swarm creature can roll twice and take the better result on a saving throw against a mind‑affecting effect. <h3 class="title">Paralytic Neurotoxin</h3> Type poison (injury); Save Fortitude DC 14 Track Dexterity; Frequency 1/round for 4 rounds Cure 2 consecutive saves
