The slow moving creatures are incredibly vulnerable to close range combat and avoid it as much as possible. Combat Although the guardian has claw and bite attacks they rarely make use of them, choosing instead to stay as far from their enemy as possible and attack with their powerful breath weapon. Breath Weapon (Ex): The guardian is able to expel acidic spores from its stomach which it spits out towards victims. The breath weapon has a rather long range (able to go up to 150 feet from the guardian) and strikes a victim with a successful range touch attack (+10 ranged attack). Anyone struck suffers 8d8 points of acid damage, reflex save (DC 15) halves the damage. The acid splashes out 5 feet in all directions from the target inflicting 4d8 points to any caught by the splash, a reflex save (DC 15) also halves this damage. The guardian is able to use its breath weapon one time each round. Fast Healing (Ex): A guardian heals damage extremely fast, recovering 5 hit points each round. |
