Special Abilities

Enzyme Jet (Ex) As a ranged attack, an augerwing can open its beak pores to spray high-pressure streams of ink-like enzymes with a maximum range of 30 feet and no range increment. This attack has the unwieldy weapon special property and can be used only every 1d4+1 rounds. Impale (Ex) An augerwing can perform a spiraling dive to drive its beak into prey. When the augerwing performs a charge and deals damage, if the result of the attack rolls meets or exceeds the target’s KAC + 4, the augerwing’s beak pierces the target’s body; if the target is Medium or smaller, it is also grappled. The augerwing can keep its beak embedded in the target if it succeeds at further grapple combat maneuvers as normal; it receives a +4 racial bonus to these attacks. A creature can pull out the augerwing’s beak (and remove the grappled condition) with a successful Acrobatics check to escape or grapple combat maneuver as normal for the condition. A creature impaled in this way is exposed to embalming enzymes (see above) at the start of its turn. <h3 class="title">Embalming Enzymes</h3> Type poison (injury) Track Dexterity (special); Frequency 1/minute for 10 minutes Effect progression track is Healthy—Sluggish—Stiffened—Staggered—Immobile Cure 2 consecutive saves
