Description

Combat

Dominate Person (Su): Taskmasters can use dominate person on any creature as the spell cast by a 10th-level sorcerer (save DC 19), although the subject may be of any type and may be up to Large size. A single taskmaster can dominate up to four subjects at a time.

Dominated Creature (Ex): A taskmaster is never encountered alone: One dominated nonformian creature always accompanies it (choose or determine randomly any creature of CR 4).

Poison (Ex): Sting, Fortitude save (DC 15); initial and secondary damage 1d6 temporary Strength.

Telepathy (Su): Taskmasters can communicate telepathically with any intelligent creature within 100 feet.

Hive Mind (Ex): All formians within 50 miles of their queen are in constant communication. If one is aware of a particular danger, they all are. If one in a group is not flat-footed, none of them are. No formian in a group is considered flanked unless all of them are.

Immunities (Ex): Formians have poison, petrification, and cold immunity.

Resistances (Ex): All formians have fire, electricity, and sonic resistance 20.
