Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?
This is a swarm of tiny vipers. These creatures range widely in size. They are not particularly aggressive, but their great numbers give them confidence when riled to anger.
Combat[edit]
A viper swarm seeks to surround and attack any prey it encounters. A swarm deals 1d6 points of damage to any creature whose space it occupies at the end of its move. They enjoy eating rats.
Distraction (Ex): Any living creature that begins its turn with a swarm in its square must succeed on a DC 12 Fortitude save or be nauseated for 1 round. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Poison (Ex): A viper snake has a poisonous bite that deals initial and secondary damage of 1d6 Con, DC 12 Fortitude negates. The save DCs are Constitution-based.
Skills: Snakes have a +4 racial bonus on Hide, Listen, and Spot checks and a +8 racial bonus on Balance and Climb checks. A snake can always choose to take 10 on a Climb check, even if rushed or threatened. Snakes use either their Strength modifier or Dexterity modifier for Climb checks, whichever is higher. A snake has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.
