These ‘brood slivers’ seem to use unborn slivers as weapons, infecting their opponents to produce new young.’ – Lanariel Shadowwing, Research Notes. A Brood sliver is a highly specialized type of sliver used to swell the slivers ranks in combat.A brood sliver looks much like other slivers, but have golden brown skin and an oversized claw at the end of their arm. The sliver usually has a length of about 12’Combat: Brood slivers relish combat, using the oversized claw to infect as many opponents as possible.Spell-like Abilities: At will – Detect Magic, Endure Elements, Light, and Resistance; 3/day – Bless, Greater Magic Fang, and Pass without Trace. These are as the spells cast by a 6th level sorcerer. Implant (Ex): If a brood sliver deals damage with its claw to a living creature it may attempt to infect the creature with a baby sliver. The creature must make a fortitude save (DC: 22) or become infected. An infected creature 1d6 points of damage per round for 2d4 rounds, after which a proto sliver bursts from their body dealing an additional 2d6 points of damage. A creature cannot be infected by more than one baby sliver at a time. If a Remove Disease is cast on the affected creature before the proto sliver emerges, the proto sliver is instantly slain and the infected creature must make another fortitude save (DC: 22) or take 1d4 points of con damage as the baby sliver decomposes.The saves are Con-based.Shared Ability (Ex): All slivers within 60’ of the Brood Sliver gains access to its implant ability.-Comments?
