Special Abilities

Acidic Grease (Ex) As a standard action, a dramovire can cover a 10-foot square within 20 feet with a layer of acidic grease sprayed from its proboscis. Each creature in the area must succeed at a DC 16 Reflex save or fall prone. A creature can walk within or through the area of grease at half its normal speed with a successful DC 16 Acrobatics check to balance; failure means the creature can’t move that round and must succeed at a DC 16 Reflex saving throw or fall prone, while failure by 5 or more means it automatically falls prone. A creature that doesn’t move on its turn doesn’t need to attempt the check. A creature that ends its turn within the area takes 4d6 acid damage, plus 4 additional acid damage at the end of its next turn. The pool of acidic grease lasts for a number of minutes equal to the dramovire’s CR. Snagging Protrusions (Ex) The limbs of a dramovire are covered with small protrusions designed to make it easy to grasp its prey. A creature that successfully escapes from a dramovire’s grapple takes 3d4 slashing damage. 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 within 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.
