[QUOTE="RickVigorous, post: 987079, member: 5141"] A new creature: the Brood of Roaches. Basically, a Wasp Swarm with a different ability. Eventually, I plan to post more swarms here; feel free to add your own. I've got the following swarms in the works: School of Pirhana Crawling Claw Swarm Grave Worms (worms that infest corpses and cause them to animate) Husk Swarm (a reanimated swarm insect exoskeletons) Two energon swarms - tiny xeg-ya and xag-yi. And a unique swarm from some place that's a bit "far out." Without further ado... BROOD OF ROACHES Medium-Size Vermin (Swarm of Fine Creatures) Hit Dice: 4d8+4 (22 hp) Initiative: +3 Speed: 20 ft. AC: 13 (+3 Dex), touch 13, flat-footed 11 Attacks: Swarm Damage: Swarm 1d6 plus disease Face/Reach: 5 ft./0 ft. Special Attacks: Distraction (DC 13), disease (DC 13) Special Qualities: Swarm traits, vermin traits Saves: Fort +5, Ref +4, Will +1 Abilities: Str 1, Dex 16, Con 13, Int —, Wis 10, Cha 2 Skills: — Feats: — Climate/Terrain: Any land or underground Organization: Swarm Challenge Rating: 2 Treasure: — Alignment: Always neutral Advancement: — Distraction (Ex): Any nonmindless creature vulnerable to the swarm damage of the brood of roaches that begins its turn with a swarm in its square it nauseated for 1 round. A Fortitude save (DC 13) negates the effect. Spellcasting or concentrating on spells within the area of a swarm requires a Concentration check (DC 20 + spell level). Using skills requiring patience and concentration requires a Concentration check (DC 20). Disease (Ex): The brood of cockroaches lives in filth. Creatures who suffer damage from the swarm must make Fortitude saves (DC 13) or become afflicted with filth fever. [/QUOTE]
