SPECIAL ABILITIES

Chemical Slime (Ex)

Any living creature that begins its turn affected by an alchemical ooze swarm’s viscous ability also suffers a secondary effect lasting 1 round (DC 10 Fortitude negates).

This is a mind-affecting, poison effect.

• Choleric: Choleric oozes are composed of caustic chemicals rather than mind-affecting poison. Any living creature that begins its turn affected by the swarm’s viscous ability takes 1d4 acid damage. Armor or clothing worn by the creature takes the same amount of acid damage unless the wearer succeeds on a DC 11 Reflex save. In addition, a wooden or metal weapon that strikes a choleric ooze swarm takes 1 acid damage unless the weapon’s wielder succeeds on a DC 11 Reflex save. The ooze’s touch deals 8 acid damage per round to wooden or metal objects, but the ooze must remain in contact with the material for 1 round in order to deal this damage.
• Melancholic: Composed of chemical depressants, affected creatures are paralyzed.
• Phlegmatic: Composed of volatile mind-altering compounds, affected creatures are confused.
• Sanguine: Composed of euphoric hallucinogens, affected creatures laugh uncontrollably and are treated as staggered.

Elemental Adaptation (Ex)

Each type of alchemical ooze swarm is resistant and vulnerable to different types of energy.

• Choleric: Vulnerability to electricity and resist acid 5.
• Melancholic: Vulnerability to acid and resist electricity 5.
• Phlegmatic: Vulnerability to fire and resist cold 5.
• Sanguine: Vulnerability to cold and resist fire 5.

Viscous (Ex)

Whenever an alchemical ooze swarm makes a swarm attack against a creature of Small size or larger, that creature must succeed on a DC 11 Reflex save or be covered in patches of sticky ooze globules. Those who fail are entangled until the patches of ooze are removed. The ooze can be removed by spending a full-round action to fling off the globules. If a creature affected by this ability takes any amount of energy damage, per they type of ooze, the ooze patches are immediate destroyed.

• Choleric: Destroyed by electricity damage.
• Melancholic: Destroyed by acid damage.
• Phlegmatic: Destroyed by fire damage.
• Sanguine: Destroyed by cold damage.
