SPECIAL ABILITIES

Necromorph Options Although there are common types of hive horrors each is unique.  You can select one of the following abilities or spend 3 Gene Pool points from the mutations presented in the Mutant Menagerie.  Note these options have not been included in the creature’s stat block.

• Aura of Doom: All living creatures within 30-feet of the type 7 hive horror must make a Will save DC 17 or suffer a -1 penalty to attack, damage, and saving throw rolls.  Once a creature makes a save they cannot be affected by the same hive horror’s aura again for 24-hours.
• Aura of Fatigue: the type 7 hive horror emits a pheromone causing the fatigued condition to any living create within 30-feet.  Living creatures are entitled to a Fortitude saving throw DC 17 to avoid the condition.  A creature which is already fatigued suffers no further effect. Once a creature makes a save they cannot be affected by the same hive horror’s aura again for 24-hours.
• Aura of Anger:  All quasi-dead creatures within 30-feet of the type 7 hive horror are overcome with anger gaining a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls but a -2 penalty to KAC. Once a creature makes a save they cannot be affected by the same hive horror’s aura again for 24-hours.
