Abilities
Beestings (poison) — The creature must attempt a DC 16 Fortitude save. Those who fail take 1d4 poison damage and are Clumsy 1 for 1 minute.
Swarming Stings — Each enemy in the swarm's space takes 1d4 piercing damage (DC 16 Reflex save). The first time each round a creature fails the save and takes piercing damage, it also suffers the effect of beestings.
Whenever the bee swarm uses this ability, the swarm takes 1 damage.
Whenever the bee swarm uses this ability, the swarm takes 1 damage.
WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLANDA frontline blocker keeps PCs engaged near the swarm's space so its ongoing Reflex-save damage keeps landing each round.
CrasherLANDA heavy striker punishes PCs who are forced to stay adjacent to deal with the swarm instead of retreating to safety.
SniperLANDRanged damage answers PCs who wisely stay out of the swarm's space, covering the gap this creature's melee-only threat leaves.
PUNISHES
✖ clumping✖ melee reliance✖ low Fortitude
Avoid pairing with another area-denial swarm; stacking splash-vulnerable threats lets one AoE response answer both at once.
