[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8953637, member: 57383"] You know, all the AD&D versions specify the link is only between two individuals, not an entire brood. I think I prefer the paired version I proposed. Hmm, tempted to rename it to differentiate the ability from standard Hive Mind: [INDENT][B]Brood-Mate (Ex):[/B] Gladiator lizards hatch in pairs, called brood-mates. Brood-mates within 50 miles of each other are in constant telepathic communication. If one brood-mate is aware of a particular danger, both are. If one in a pair is not flat-footed, neither of them is. No gladiator lizard in a pair of brood-mates is considered flanked unless both of them are.[/INDENT] Also, the 2E version gives them an advantage when teaming up against an opponent: "If both lizards strike the same target in the same round, the second lizard to strike gains +1 to hit on both its blows." That suggests some kind of Special Attack if two Lizards engage the same opponent. Maybe: [INDENT][B]Brood-Mate #2 (Ex):[/B] Gladiator lizards hatch in pairs, called brood-mates. Brood-mates within 50 miles of each other are in constant telepathic communication. If one brood-mate is aware of a particular danger, both are. If one in a pair is not flat-footed, neither of them is. No gladiator lizard in a pair of brood-mates is considered flanked unless both of them are. If both brood-mates attack the same opponent in a round, each gains a +1 circumstance bonus to their attack roll.[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
