SPECIAL ABILITIES

Contamination (Ex)

Bil’djooli elite soldiers secrete toxins that wash away easily in water, contaminating their own space and all adjacent spaces with a short-lived, mild paralytic. When the bil’djooli is not submerged, the poison only affects those hit by their natural attacks, or who strike it with natural attacks or unarmed strikes, rendering them sluggish on a failed Fortitude saving throw, as per the Dexterity poison track. While submerged, the poison is too diluted to further impede assailants beyond the sluggish state and does not cause Hit Point loss due to initial exposure. Out of the water, a bil’djooli elite soldier must make a Fortitude save against refined bil’djooli slime once per hour and loses 4 Hit Points per hour due to exposure to its own slime.

Duck and Weave (Ex)

Bil’djooli elite soldiers focus on shock troop tactics in their training. Instead of the rapid recovery style technique, a bil’djooli elite soldier gains the duck and weave style technique. This works as the soldier ability of the same name, save that the bil’djooli elite soldier may use it 5 times per day before requiring an 8-hour rest to use it again.

Jet (Ex)

A bil’djooli elite soldier can choose to jet as part of using the run action, gaining the benefits of the Jet Dash feat, but only while underwater or in a low- or zero gravity environment. The bil’djooli elite soldier may use this ability four times per day before requiring an 8-hour rest to use it again.

A bil’djooli elite soldier is a deadly and intimidating shock trooper or bodyguard, bred and trained to defend the elite of bil’djooli society.
