Special Abilities

Barb Poison (Ex) If an ixtangi scores a critical hit with their racial natural weapon, their target must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC = 10 + the ixtangi’s Constitution modifier + half the ixtangi’s level ) or gain the flat-footed condition until the end of its next turn. This is a poison effect. Liquid Crystal Display (Ex) An ixtangi has an innate ability to change their coloration as a standard action; this produces one of the following effects. Glimmer: The ixtangi flashes their coloration in a display that distracts onlookers. Enemies within 30 feet that can see the ixtangi must succeed at a DC Will save (DC = 10 + the ixtangi’s Charisma modifier + half the ixtangi’s level ) or be fascinated for 1d4 rounds. A creature can be affected by this ability only once per day. This is a mind-affecting effect. Stealth: The ixtangi mimics their surroundings, becoming almost invisible. They gain a +2 racial bonus to Stealth checks to hide until the beginning of their next turn. Unflappable Climber (Ex) An ixtangi is an adept climber, using their sticky paw pads, tongue, and prehensile tail to stay stuck to surfaces. An ixtangi is not flat-footed while climbing and can take 10 on Athletics checks to climb even when in combat or immediate danger.
