SPECIAL ABILITIES

Acid Spit (Ex)

A hive warrior can spray acid as a ranged touch attack out to a maximum range of 20 feet. Creatures struck by this spray take acid damage as if struck by a hive creature’s death throes. Additionally, creatures damaged by a hive warrior’s acid spit continue to take the same amount of acid damage for the next 1d3 rounds. A successful Reflex save halves the initial damage and negates the ongoing damage.

The save DC is Dexterity-based.

Rending Mandibles (Ex)

When a hive warrior confirms a critical hit with its bite, it deals equal damage to the creature’s armor.
