Special Abilities

Concealed Weaponry (Ex) An anacite dustar can project a whirling and serrated edge around their circular frame and conceal their polishing laser within their carapace. When not in use, these weapons are hidden from sight. A creature unaware of the dustar’s concealed weaponry must succeed at a DC 16 Perception check to notice them. The anacite can deploy or retract one of these weapons as a swift action or as part of making an attack or full attack with it. The anacite can’t be disarmed of such a weapon, but while deployed, the retractable weapon can be sundered as an item with a CR equal to the dustar’s CR. Innocuous Trick (Ex) An anacite dustar looks like a simple housecleaning tool, but is actually programmed to ambush intruders. As a full action, an anacite dustar can move up to their speed and then make an attack with one of their concealed weapons. After their movement, the dustar can attempt a Bluff check opposed by their target’s Perception check; if the dustar is successful, their target is flat-footed against the attack and takes 1d4 additional damage on a hit. Light Dependency (Ex) An anacite dustar can acquire power from dim or brighter light, and can store power generated in this way. The dustar can operate in darkness for 2 hours. After this time, the dustar gains the sickened condition until they return to an area of dim or brighter light. Polishing Laser (Ex) The anacite dustar’s pop-up laser is ostensibly used to polish metals as the dustar goes about their rounds, but can be lethal. The polishing laser has a range increment of 30 feet. Shortwave (Ex) An anacite can communicate wirelessly. This ability acts as telepathy, but only with other creatures with the shortwave ability or constructs with the technological subtype.
