Special Abilities

Limited Ooze Benefits (Ex) Entu colonies gain a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against illusion, paralysis, poison, polymorph, sleep, and stunning effects, unless the effect specifies that it’s effective against oozes. Tactical Symbiosis (Ex) Once per day as a standard action, an entu colony can temporarily merge a portion of themself with a willing non-entu colony creature they’ve telepathically communicated with and can touch. This symbiosis lasts until the beginning of the entu colony’s next turn; during this time the entu colony can’t take any actions but can use each of the following abilities once. A creature can benefit from only one tactical symbiosis at a time. Cellular Restoration: Restore a number of Hit Points to the host equal to twice the entu colony’s CR or level. Improve Condition: Grant the host an additional save against an ongoing affliction with a +2 circumstance bonus. Synaptic Pulse: Grant the host a +2 circumstance bonus to Reflex saves until the entu colony’s next turn.
