Typical Stats

ST:	5	HP:	9	Speed:	6
DX:	12	Will:	10	Move:	7
IQ:	10	Per:	11
HT:	11	FP:	11	SM:	+0
Dodge:	9	Parry:	N/A	DR:	-

    Swarm Bite: 1d cutting. The swarm must “step” into close combat with the target and attack. The target can retreat or dodge and drop (p. B377) to move at least one yard away; if not, it automatically takes 1d large area cutting damage that is reduced by DR normally.
    Swarm: A broodswarm consists of about a dozen of sparrow-sized demons. This makes it immune to crippling injuries and reduces the damage it suffers from most physical blows; see Injury to Unliving, Homogenous, and Diffuse Targets (p. B380). The swarm cannot be slammed or grappled. Diffuse includes all the benefits of No Blood, No Brain, and No Vitals. The swarm is dispersed by injury equal to its HP. A dispersed swarm is effectively “unconscious” and unable to act in concert. A determined foe might contain and continue to damage the dispersed bodies, though. Should the swarm reach -HP, enough of the bodies have been killed to destroy the swarm.
    Stunning Aura: Any creature that shares a hex with the broodswarm, except for chaotic evil outsiders, must roll against Will every turn or be mentally stunned. They may roll to recover normally on subsequent turns.
    Stitching: Broodswarms can manifest lengths of coarse black thread from their silvery hook hands. Instead of attacking with swarm bite, the broodswarm may use these threads to stitch victims up to prevent their escape. Initially, this effect has effective ST 3, but each additional use of this ability adds +1 to it. When effective ST reaches half of the victim’s ST, the victim is considered grappled and is rooted in place. He cannot select the Move or Change Posture maneuvers or change facing, and is at -4 to DX.
    To break free, the victim must win a Quick Contest of ST against the ST of the stitches. Each attempt takes one second. If the victim fails to break free, he loses 1 FP but may try again. Regardless of the result, the victim also takes 1d cutting damage due to the stitches damaging his skin and flesh. This damage applies even if the stitches’ ST if lower that what’s required to “grapple” the victim. Alternatively, he may try to destroy the stitches with a cutting, corrosion, or burning attack. Innate Attacks hit automatically; other attacks are at -4. External attacks on the stitches take no penalty, but risk hitting the victim on a miss (see Striking Into a Close Combat, p. B392).
    The stitches have DR 1. Each point of damage reduces ST by one. At ST 0, the stitches are destroyed and the victim is freed.

    Traits: Ally (Night Hag that created the swarm; Built on 150% points; Appears on a roll of 12 or less; Magical; Special Abilities; Summonable); Anarchic Touch; Appearance (Ugly); Detect (Holy Creatures; Cannot Analyze; Magical; Reflexive; Smell-Based); Callous; Doesn’t Eat or Drink; Infravision; Sadism (12); Social Stigma (Monster); Super Jump 1; Unaging; Unholy Touch; Vulnerability (Cold Iron, x2); Vulnerability (Holy Weapons, x2).

    Punch (12): thrust 1d-1 crushing, Reach C-1.
    Gore (12): thrust 1d crushing, Reach C. Cannot parry.
    Long Spear (two-handed) (12): thrust 1d+2 impaling. Reach 2-3*.
    Longbow (ST 11) (12): thrust 1d+1 impaling + sparkbolt (see below), Acc 3, Range 165/300, RoF 1, Shots 1(2).
    Air Walk: Air, smoke, and other gases are like solid ground beneath armanite’s hooves, allowing it to walk up and down “invisible stairs” at its ground Move. This won’t work in a vacuum – there has to be some kind of air present. If the armanite gets knocked down or slips, it falls! The armanite may attempt one DX roll per second of falling. If it succeeds, it stops in thin air, unharmed. Otherwise, it hits the ground for normal falling damage (see Falling, p. B431). Using this magical ability costs 1 FP per minute.
    Sparkbolt: Any bow wielded by the armanite is constantly sparkling. Arrows fired by the armanite deal an additional 1d of linked (p. B105) burning surge damage. Metallic armor counts as DR 1 against this damage, but nonmetallic armor protects normally. Targets stuck by this attack must make an HT roll, at -1 per 2 points of penetrating burning damage, or be physically stunned. On subsequent turns, they can roll HT to recover.
