SPECIAL ABILITIES

Diseased Pustules (Ex)

When a wretch takes damage from a piercing or slashing weapon, some of its boils rupture, squirting the attacker with puslike fluids. The noxious secretions carry a potent contact disease that causes those infected to break out into painful necrotic boils.

Necrotic Boils

Type disease (contact); Save Fortitude DC 13

Track physical; Frequency 1/day

Cure 1 save

Feed (Su)

Every time a wretch deals damage with a bite attack, it feeds on its opponent’s flesh and gains 5 temporary Hit Points. The wretch cannot have more than 5 temporary Hit Points gained by this ability at one time.

Spider Climb (Ex)

The wretches benefit from a revolting adhesive created by the pus-like fluids released by their diseased pustules. The substance lets them climb walls and ceilings as if under a spider climb effect.
