Pyronite Ooze
Level 10Attacks
Abilities
5 feet. 4d6 fire, DC 29 reflex. This aura can't cause other pyronite oozes to split.
If two or more Medium pyronite oozes end their turn in adjacent spaces, they merge into a Large pyronite ooze, combining their current Hit Points.
When a Large pyronite ooze is hit by an attack that would deal bludgeoning or fire damage and it has 10 or more HP, it explodes, dealing 6d6 fire damage to creatures in a 10-foot area (DC 29 reflex). This explosion can't cause other pyronite oozes to split. After exploding, the ooze splits into two Medium pyronite oozes, each with half the original's HP, which each fly through the air and land 15 feet from the original ooze in a random direction. If no space is unoccupied where the ooze would la
Requirements The pyronite ooze is Large
Effect The pyronite ooze explodes in a violent conflagration, dealing 3d6 fire 3d6 bludgeoning to all creatures in a 30-foot area (DC 29 reflex). This explosion can't cause other pyronite oozes to split. After exploding, the ooze splits into two Medium pyronite oozes (see above), but this splitting doesn't deal additional damage.
With the discovery of the incredible gelatinous explosive called pyronite, it was perhaps inevitable alchemical monstrosities made of the stuff would soon follow. So-called pyronite oozes sometimes spontaneously manifest from stockpiles of pyronite or other powerful explosives, typically amid mana storms or when affected by powerful magic.
Pyronite oozes have an extremely unstable life cycle and are defined by their ability to continuously explode and reform themselves. A pyronite ooze's violent explosions hinder observations, making it difficult to learn anything from the volatile jelly. To complicate matters further, pyronite oozes seem drawn to other unstable alchemical concoctions. Test subjects brought to the Spellscar Desert have been observed bathing themselves in pools of magic-polluted effluvia. Although they typically reform into a single entity after exploding, pyronite oozes bathed in chemicals sometimes remain apart after splitting, creating two independent oozes. Some speculate that an as yet unknown reagent must be essential for the oozes to reproduce on their own.
