SPECIAL ABILITIES

Ensnaring Chains (Ex)

As a standard action, a ceres can cause a mass of chains to erupt from its abdomen to ensnare a Medium or smaller target within 30 ft. A targeted creature must attempt a Reflex saving throw (DC 13) or become grappled by the chains. The ceres does not gain the grappled condition in this way, and the chains automatically renew the grapple every round.

The DC to escape the chains is 28. Additionally, the ceres may drag a creature grappled by the chains with it as part of its movement. The movement an ensnared creature makes while dragged does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

A ceres may have only one ensnared creature at a time, but multiple ceres may work together to ensnare a target larger than Medium. Two ceres working together may ensnare a Large creature, three a Huge creature, and so on. Ceres working together must ready an action to use ensnaring chains at the same time; the creature need make only one saving throw, but the DC of the effect and to escape the chains is increased by +2 for each additional ceres participating beyond the first. A ceres’ ensnaring chains have hardness 10 and 20 Hit Points. Chains reduced to 0 hp are destroyed and prevent the ceres from using this ability for 24 hours.

Fast Healing (Ex)

A ceres’ fast healing is suppressed for 1 round when it is dealt damage from a silver or good-aligned weapon or spell.

Integrated Weapons (Ex)

A ceres has two tactical dueling swords integrated into its body, and they may be enhanced or targeted as if they were manufactured weapons. Broken or destroyed weapons must be repaired manually.

Additionally, ceres kytons take only a -3 penalty to their attack rolls when making a full attack with these weapons.

Unnerving Gaze (Ex)

A creature that succumbs to a ceres’ unnerving gaze has difficulty focusing on targets other than the ceres, granting all other creatures concealment“>concealment against the victim for 1 round.
