Abilities
Predetermined Path — A phalanx of phalanges knows a single path on even ground no longer than 100 feet, as determined by its creator. The phalanx of phalanges makes no actions other than moving along this path or making Countless Digits attacks against creatures in its way. If impeded on this path or if it takes damage, the phalanx of phalanges is unbound from its path and is permanently berserk, attacking nearby creatures to the best of its ability.
Countless Digits — Each other creature in the phalanx of phalanges' space takes 1d6 piercing damage (1d6+2 piercing damage if the swarm is berserk) (DC 17 Reflex). On a critical failure, the target is thoroughly pinned by the phalanges, becoming Immobilized until it Escapes or until any creature uses 2 Interact actions to scrape away the bones pinning them down.
