SPECIAL ABILITIES

Communal Spell-like Abilities (Sp)

The formian race is capable of wondrous things when they all work together. This extends beyond engineering and mining feats to manifestation of spell-like abilities. Each spell listed must have five formian workers working together as a full-round action to activate this ability.

Lore

Characters with ranks in Knowledge (planes) can learn more about a Formian Worker. When a character makes a successful skill check, the following lore is revealed, including the information from lower DCs.

Knowledge (planes)

DC Result
6 Formian workers are part of a hive mind. If you have been spotted by a single worker than you have been spotted by the entire hive.
11 Though physically weak, workers can use their hive mind to summon other workers warriors to help.

Editor's Notes

Concentration would be +4 for the communal spell-like abilities.

Ecology

Organization team (2-4) or crew (7-18)
Treasure none

Workers expand the hive and bring order to the chaos of their plane under their queen’s informed and fair leadership. By working together, the formian workers are able to repair broken items and heal injured workers. Workers will fight to defend the hive at all costs but while fighting they use their hive mind to contact warriors for assistance. Workers are the smallest of all formians.
