Abilities
Blood Scent — The piranha swarm can smell blood in the water from up to 1 mile away.
Swarm Mind — Swarm Mind
Feeding Frenzy — Each enemy in the swarm's space takes 2d6 piercing damage (DC 20 Reflex save).
A creature that fails the save also takes 1d6 bleed and takes a -2 circumstance penalty to their Reflex saves against Feeding Frenzy while this damage continues, as the piranhas' frenzy increases in intensity when they smell blood.
