SPECIAL ABILITIES
Frog Song (Su)
Once every 1d3 rounds, an archeotoad will croak multiple times as if it were making a song towards one single target within 30 feet. That target must make a Fortitude save (DC 18) to negate the effect or be inflicted with the Frog status effect for 1d6 rounds. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 4th level spell (Knowledge: Arcana DC 23).
Leap (Ex)
An archeotoad ability to jump with his Acrobatics checks is treated as though he got a running start and has the Run feat, regardless of whether or not he gets a running start. An archeotoad’s maximum height is not affected by his size, allowing leaps higher than their own height. In additional, the archeotoad may jump as part of a charge action. Whenever the archeotoad jumps at least ten feet from his opponent (vertical or horizontal) and strikes his foe using his bite, the archeotoad deals ad additional +1d6 points of damage (maximum of 3d6). If the attack is also a critical hit, the extra damage is not also multiplied. For every 10 feet the archeotoad jumps beyond the first 10 feet, the archeotoad deals an extra 1d6 points of damage.
Poison (Ex)
Injury; save Fort DC 21; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect Frog status; cure 1 save.
Poisonous Skin (Ex)
A creature that strikes an archeotoad with an unarmed strike or natural weapon exposes itself to the toad’s poisonous skin. Skin – contact; save Fort DC 21; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect Frog status; cure 1 save.
Pond’s Chorus (Su)
1/day, an archeotoad will croak multiple times as if it were making a song towards affecting all those within 30 feet. That target must make a Fortitude save (DC 18) to negate the effect or be inflicted with the Frog status effect for 1d6 rounds. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 6th level spell (Knowledge: Arcana DC 27).
