Suck Blood◆

Requirements The flea swarm's last action was Swarming Bites, and it dealt damage to at least one enemy

Effect The flea swarm drinks the creatures' blood. Each victim becomes Drained 1 and the swarm regains 3[healing] HP for each victim drained.

Swarming Bites◆

Each enemy in the swarm's space takes (2d4+7)[piercing|options:area-damage] damage and must attempt a DC 22 reflex save. A creature that fails its save is exposed to flea fever.

Flea swarms roil across city streets and rural hinterlands in a hissing, scraping scrabble, draining blood from any creatures unfortunate enough to cross their path.

Fleas are little more than a nuisance in most circumstances, but can be lethal when they grow to monstrous proportions or gather in enormous swarms.
