Special Abilities

Congenial (Ex) Protocite speakers relish the opportunity to learn and respond well to positive interactions. They start with a friendly attitude. This attitude worsens only if an attempt at Diplomacy fails by 10 or more. Laser (Ex) The protocite speaker’s laser has a range increment of 80 feet. Parse (Ex) By spending 10 minutes conversing with a willing creature, a protocite speaker can approximate that creature’s spoken or signed language. Sensory Overload (Ex) As a full action, a speaker can spin in place, changing its body while emitting high-pitched shrieks and whistles. Each non-protocite creature within 30 feet must attempt a DC 14 Fortitude save. On a success, the creature is dazzled for 1 round. On a failure, the creature is sickened for 1 round. Shortwave (Ex) A protocite can communicate wirelessly. This acts as telepathy, but only with other creatures with this ability or constructs with the technological subtype. Sunlight Dependency (Ex) Protocites are solar-powered constructs, although they can function at reduced capacity away from light. In areas of darkness, protocites gain the sickened condition.
