View source for Rock Frog (3.5e Monster)

=== Combat ===

Rock frogs aren't too fond of fighting, and prefer to respond to any hostile provocations by swiftly resorting to their powerful fire breath. If they are forced into melee however, they employ a roguish and cunning fighting style, using their numbers to [[SRD:Flanking|flank]] and focus their attacks on one person at a time. Rock frogs hold little pretentions of fighting prowess, and will quickly retreat by burrowing if they are outmatched.

Rock frogs are able to use their limbs to burrow through rock and stone, both natural and worked. Their claws are not meant for battle however, and are treated as [[SRD:Improvised Weapon|improvised]] natural weapons with a -4 penalty for their use.

'''[[SRD:Breath Weapon|{{Anchor|Breath Weapon}}]] ([[SRD:Supernatural Ability|Su]]):''' 30-foot cone, once every 1d4 rounds, 4d6 [[SRD:Fire Effect|fire]] damage. [[SRD:Saving Throw#Reflex|Reflex]] DC 20 half. The save DC is [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] based. 

The breath weapon of a rock frog [[SRD:Reading Creature Entries#Advancement|advanced]] in [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]] deals 1d6 points of [[SRD:Fire Effect|fire]] damage per [[SRD:Hit Dice|Hit Die]]. If a rock frog is sufficiently advanced to make it [[SRD:Huge Size|Huge]], the breath weapon is a 60-foot cone instead.

'''{{Anchor|Improved Grab}} ([[SRD:Extraordinary Ability|Ex]]):''' To use this ability, a rock frog must hit with its tongue attack. It can then attempt to start a [[SRD:Grapple|grapple]] as a [[SRD:Free Action|free action]] without provoking an [[SRD:Attack of Opportunity|attack of opportunity]]. If it wins the [[SRD:Grapple|grapple]] check, it establishes a hold with its tongue.

'''{{Anchor|Swallow}} ([[SRD:Extraordinary Ability|Ex]]):''' If a rock frog has established a [[SRD:Grapple|grapple]] with another creature, it makes another [[SRD:Grapple|grapple]] check on its next turn in order to draw that creature into its mouth. A creature starting its turn inside a rock frog's mouth is automatically dealt damage equal to that of the rock frog's bite attack every round, until it or the rock frog is dead, or until it is released. The rock frog may swallow a creature of up to [[SRD:Medium Size|Medium]] size.

A creature inside a rock frog's gizzard may continue attacking it, but automatically fails its [[SRD:Saving Throw#Reflex|Reflex]] saves against the rock frog's [[SRD:Breath Weapon|breath weapon]] when it uses it. The rock frog loses its [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] bonus to [[SRD:Armor Class|Armor Class]] against any attack made by a swallowed opponent.

'''Skills:''' A rock frog has a +8 racial bonus on [[SRD:Jump Skill|Jump]] checks, and can jump at no penalty even without a running start. On a high jump, rock frogs may leap 1 foot for every 2 points of the check's result (instead of the usual 4), and have no vertical jumping limit other than the height of their check. Rock frogs also have a +4 racial bonus on [[SRD:Swim Skill|Swim]] checks, but no actual swim speed.
