Vigil drones are six-legged mechanical insects infused with rudimentary artificial souls that possess a bestial intellect and predatory instincts. Drones maintain crypts and gravesites and slumber within purposefully engineered clefts and grooves in the walls, responding to any foreign presence by awakening and becoming hostile.
Combat[edit]
The walls of ancient crypts and tomb catacombs are lined with specially shaped grooves and indentations, that perfectly fit a coiled-up drone. When awakening, it unfurls its six legs and springs to life. Drones gain a +10 circumstance bonus to Hide checks while dormant in their alcoves.
Discharge (Su): Drones can project a powerful electric shock from the array of probes and feelers on its head, dealing 2d4 points of electricity damage to one creature within 10 feet.
Skills: Drones gain a +8 racial bonus to Jump checks. This bonus is included in the above statistics.
