Abilities & Attacks
Saving Throws: +2 status to all saves vs. disease Vermin Empathy. The ash giant can ask questions of, receive answers from, and use the Diplomacy skill with insects, arachnids, and similar creatures. +2 Status to All Saves vs. Disease Reactive Strike (reaction). Trigger A creature within the monster's reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using. Effect The monster attempts a melee Strike against the triggering creature. If the attack is a critical hit and the trigger was a manipulate action, the monster disrupts that action. This Strike doesn't count toward the monster's multiple attack penalty, and its multiple attack penalty doesn't apply to this Strike. Tumor Pop. When the ash giant takes piercing damage while they have a swollen tumor, the tumor explodes automatically, with the effect of Blastboil. Blastboil (1 action). The ash giant pops one of the massive, swollen pustules on their body. Each creature in a 15-foot cone takes 5d8 poison damage with a DC 29 basic Reflex save. A creature that fails its save is also Sickened 1 (or Sickened 2 on a critical failure). This ability and tumor pop can't be used again until another tumor swells to a suitable size in 1d4 rounds. Gore Grinder (1 action). Requirements The ash giant's last action was a successful war flail Strike. Effect The ash giant wraps the chain of the flail around the target and grinds its flesh. The creature takes 2d8 slashing damage and 2d8 persistent bleed damage with a DC 30 basic Fortitude save. Tangle-Topple (2 actions). The ash giant makes a piggy clod Strike. If it hits, the target is tangled in ragged scrap. It's Immobilized, can't leave the ground, and falls to the ground if it's flying. This ends if the creature Escapes or the metal is Forced Open.
