Description

Breath Weapon (Su): Cone of salt crystals, 10 feet, every 1d4 rounds as a standard action; damage 1d4, Reflex half DC 12. Living creatures that fail their saves are tormented by itching skin and burning eyes. This imposes a -4 morale penalty to AC and a -2 morale penalty to attack rolls for 3 rounds.

Spell-Like Abilities: Once per hour a salt mephit can use glitterdust as the spell cast by a 3rd-level sorcerer (save DC 12 + spell level). Once per day it can draw the moisture from an area in a 20-foot radius centered on itself. Living creatures within range take 2d8 points of damage (Fortitude half DC 15). This is especially devastating to aquatic creatures and plants, which receive a -2 racial penalty to their saving throws.

Summon Mephit (Sp): Once per day, all mephits can summon other mephits much as though casting a summon monster spell, but they have only a 25% chance of success to summon one mephit of the same type. Roll d%: On a failure, no creature answers the summons. A mephit that has just been summoned cannot use its own summon ability for 1 hour.

Fast Healing (Ex): A salt mephit heals 2 points of damage each round, provided it is still alive and it is in an arid environment.
