SPECIAL ABILITIES
Critical Attack (Ex)
Once every 1d3 rounds as a standard action, the sea snake can inflict more pain than normal. If they succeed at hitting with their bite attack, the damage is 2d6+7 x 1.5 for total damage.
Leech (Su)
3/day, a sea snake can leech the blood from a target within 30 feet. The target must make a Fortitude save (DC 14) or take 2d6 points of shadow damage and the sea snake is healed for that much. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 2nd level spell (DC 19).
Poison (Ex)
Bite – injury; save Fort DC 17; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d3 Con damage; cure 1 save.
