Special Abilities

Heal Self (Ex) Once per day, as a standard action, a drift leech can expend energy it has siphoned from starships or other technology to restore 1d4+1 Hit Points to itself. Power Discharge (Ex) A drift leech can lob a ball of energy-infused mucus at its foes. This is a ranged attack with a range increment of 30 feet that targets EAC and has the arc 1 critical hit effect. Tech Trouble (Ex) Drift leeches have a negative effect on technology in close proximity to them. Attacks using weapons without the analog trait take a –1 penalty to attack and damage rolls. Armor with environmental protections expends 1 hour of that protection every round it’s within the leech’s aura. Piloting checks attempted for starships or vehicles within the aura take a –1 penalty. The bonus granted by any technological item to a skill check decreases by 1. The effects of multiple tech trouble auras do not stack.
