SPECIAL ABILITIES
Calming Fragrance (Su)
A supernaturally sweet perfume that calms the nerves and blunts aggression constantly surrounds Kudzu to a radius of 1 mile. Any creature in this area of effect must make a DC 36 Will save at the start of its turn to avoid falling under the effects of calm emotions for 1 round. This is a mind-affecting effect. The save DC is Charisma-based, and includes a +2 racial bonus.
Feed (Ex)
Kudzu's roots can feed on a helpless or willing target. At the end of each minute of feeding, the victim takes 1d3 points of both Constitution and Intelligence drain, and Kudzu gains another vine attack which remains for 1 hour per Hit Die the victim has.
