Melodic Assault (Ex) As a ranged attack that targets EAC, a murzzilat can sing a sonic blast with a range increment of 60 feet at a single target. On a critical hit, the target must succeed at a DC 13 Fortitude save or become off-target for 1 round. Rallying Song (Ex) As a standard action, a murzzilat can sing an inspiring song that rallies allies within 30 feet to battle, granting them a +1 morale bonus to attack rolls and skill checks for 1 minute. A creature can be affected by only one murzzilat’s rallying song at a time.
