Nanoshard Swarm
Level 9Attacks
Abilities
When a nanoshard swarm takes electricity damage, they automatically shift into swarm form.
Requirements The nanoshard swarm is in swarm form
Effect The nanoshard swarm forms a continuous 6-inch-thick solid wall, up to 60 feet long and 10 feet high, originating from any one square in its current space. The wall can follow any path, with each 5 feet being placed on the border between squares. It doesn't need to stand vertically, so it can form a bridge or set of stairs, for example. The wall must be formed in an unbroken open space where its edges don't pass through any creatures
Requirements The nanoshard swarm is in swarm form
Effect The nanoshard swarm coalesces into a Huge shape that looks like a humanoid or beast and can hold items. In battle form, its Speed is 15 feet, it's Clumsy 1, and it has the following Strike.
Melee 1 limb (reach 20 feet), Damage 4d8+9 bludgeoning
DC 27 reflex, (2d8+6)[bludgeoning] damage, , Rupture 18
The nanoshard swarm collapses into its natural form: a Huge sea of tiny metal spheres. It drops anything it's holding. While in swarm form, the nanoshard swarm's Speed is 25 feet, it can move through any area large enough for a single sphere to fit through without having to Squeeze, and it gains Engulf.
This bizarre entity is actually a massive collective consisting of tens of thousands of constituent parts, each a tiny metal sphere barely the size of a pebble. Controlled by a single elemental spirit, the swarm is capable of flowing like liquid through the smallest openings before shaping itself into a powerful combatant, a solid wall, or any other form circumstances might require.
