Each creature in the area must make a DC 18 Reflex save or take 3d4 points of piercing damage. The save DC is Constitution-based. These spikes are a living part of Bristlebrawn’s body, and they continue to burrow into the victim’s flesh for 3 rounds after striking, doing 1d4 points of additional damage each round. A successful DC 20 Heal check or the application of any healing magic kills the burrowing spikes and stops the continuing damage. The damage from multiple successful hails of spikes attacks is cumulative (that is, a creature that fails its save against hail of spike attacks from two spiked devils takes 6d4 points of damage initially and 2d4 points of damage for each of the 3 rounds thereafter). However, only one successful Heal check is required to kill all the spikes in the victim’s body.Piercing Grapple (Ex): With a successful grapple check, Bristlebrawn can crush an opponent against its body, dealing 2d8+7 points of piercing damage.Rage (Ex): While Bristlebrawn rages, the following changes to its statistics are in effect: (Str 24, Con 22, AC -2, +24 hit points, +2 to all melee attacks and damage, Fort save +15, Will save +11, Climb +17, Jump +15). Its fit of rage lasts 9 rounds. At the end of the rage, Bristlebrawn loses the rage modifiers and restrictions and becomes fatigued (Str 18, Dex 9, -1 to AC, -1 to all melee attacks and damage, Ref save +6, Climb +14, Jump +12, can't charge or run) for the duration of the current encounter.Hellforged (Ex): Bristlebrawn is immune to critical hits and is not subject to death from massive damage.Trap Sense (Ex): Bristlebrawn gains a +1 bonus on Reflex saves made to avoid traps and a +1 dodge bonus to AC against attacks made by traps.Physical Description: Bristlebrawn’s body has a head, a torso, two legs, but there the resemblance to a humanoid form ends. The fact that each body part is nearly spherical gives the creature a lumbering appearance and a graceless stride. Its chest, arms, and legs are dotted with hundreds of sharp, iron spikes.</blockquote>
