Special Abilities

Depth-Inured (Ex) A brood sovereign’s invertebrate body is accustomed to navigating ocean depths. They’re immune to damage related to changes in atmospheric or liquid pressure. Keratin Dart (Ex) As a ranged attack, a brood sovereign can fire a horn-like dart with a range increment of 100 feet. This ranged attack ignores penalties for attacking underwater. Rage Spasm (Su) A brood sovereign’s xenophobic rage is so great that they can radiate it from their bodies in both physical and psychic manifestations. As a full action, a brood sovereign can cause their tree-like crowns to spasm violently, sending out two 120-foot cones of concentrated psychic anger that can be aimed independently. A creature caught in the area of at least one cone takes 4d12+20 electricity damage as its brain and nervous system short out (Reflex DC 27 half). Terrify (Su) A creature that takes damage from a brood sovereign’s rage spasm ability must attempt a DC 27 Will saving throw. On a failure, the creature gains the panicked condition for 1d6 rounds. At the end of an affected creature’s turn, it can attempt an additional saving throw to end the panicked condition early; on a successful save, it’s instead shaken for the remainder of the effect’s duration.
