Dance of Deconstruction (Su) As a standard action, a vandalkin can perform a dance that damages a single construct or unattended object within 5 feet. This attack deals 1d8 points damage that ignore hardness to the construct or unattended eobject (Reflex DC 13 half). This save DC is Constitution-based. Additionally, if two or more vandalkin are within 20 feet of each other, they can dance together to create a pulse that damages constructs and unattended objects. This effect has a radius of 20 feet, centered on any one contributing vandalkin. All creatures with the construct type within that radius, and one unattended object of the central vandalkin's choice within that radius, each take 2d8 points of damage that ignore hardness for each vandalkin contributing to the dance, to a maximum of 12d8. A Reflex save (DC 10 + the number of vandalkin contributing) halves the damage.
Feast of Entropy (Su) Whenever an action performed by one or more a vandalkin destroys a construct or unattended object, each attacking vandalkin gains 5 hit points and is nourished for the next 24 hours as if it had consumed sufficient food and drink. A vandalkin cannot have more than 5 temporary hit points and 24 hours of nourishment gained by this ability at any one time.


Vandalkin are a breed of gremlin that not only delight in the destruction of constructs and crafted objects, but actually feed upon it, devouring the creative energy invested in a crafted item when that item destroyed. Individual vandalkin might be content to ruin occasional household items for sustenance, but larger mobs of these gremlins prefer to hunt and destroy animate constructs, whom they find particularly delicious.

Vandalkin dwell almost exclusively beneath thriving cities and other sites where constructs and objects are crafted in large numbers. The workshops of artificers are favorite targets, as are the armories of construct-heavy armies and enterprising gunsmiths. Rumors hint at the existence of at least one mob of vandalkin that doesn't target victims at all, instead scavenging unused items and trading for the goods they wish to consume, but these rumors are generally dismissed as flights of fancy.
