Special Abilities

Adhesive Cannon (Ex) As a ranged attack, a nauphage can fire blobs of electrically charged glue with a range increment of 30 feet. In addition to taking damage, a creature struck with this glue is entangled for 1d4 rounds; such a creature can escape with a successful DC 18 Acrobatics check or a DC 13 Strength check attempted as a standard action. This weapon can’t be disarmed and produces its own ammunition, so it never runs out. Organic Rig (Ex) One of the nauphage’s arms ends in slender appendages that can be configured to perform a variety of tasks. A nauphage always counts as having the appropriate tool or basic kit for any Computers or Engineering check it attempts. Storage Sac (Ex) A nauphage can store up to 2 cubic feet of items weighing no more than 4 bulk in total in a storage sac. It can transfer a single object between its sac and a claw as a swift action. Swarm Mind (Ex) Members of the Swarm are bound together into a singular hive mind by a blend of exuded pheromones, imperceptible movements of antennae and limbs, electrostatic fields, and telepathic communication. All Swarm creatures with 30 feet of each other are in constant communication; if one is aware of a threat, all are. (Such awareness can spread along a “chain” of Swarm creatures under appropriate circumstances, potentially alerting distant Swarm creatures). In addition, once per round when within 30 feet of another Swarm creature, a Swarm creature can roll twice and take the better result on a saving throw against a mind-affecting effect.
