Special Abilities
Darts A toxic effigy has a set of self-loading darts hidden inside its hands that it can fire up to 30 feet. A toxic effigy can fire one dart as a standard action or one dart out of each hand as a full-round action. It can fire up to six darts out of each hand before running out. The darts can be reloaded at the rate of one dart per round.
Poison (Su) Sting or dart—injury; save Fort DC 13, frequency 1/round for 6 rounds, effect 1d3 Con, cure 1 save. The effigy magically replenishes the supply of the poison.
Preprogrammed Behavior A toxic effigy is imbued with intelligence that is exceptional for a construct but still imperfect. A toxic effigy is unable to succeed on Sense Motive checks. During discussions it is unable to keep track of the more complex topics involving specialist lore, a successful Sense Motive check against DC 15 during such conversation notices that its behavior edges on erratic and confused.
Sweet Release (Ex) A toxic effigy is surrounded by a subtle smell of the most stylish cosmetics which mask the insidious incense that weakness natural resistance against toxins. All the living creatures within 30 feet suffer –2 penalty to their saving throws against poison effects.
Product of cooperation between assassins and alchemists, a toxic effigy is a human-looking construct capable of blending in a normal society for a while until the reaches its mark and delivers a deadly venom. Or it can act as a dupe, to attract the attention of the victim’s guards while the actual assassination is commenced. Or be a bit of both, with its poison-resistance weakening fumes greatly helping the actual assassin while attracting attention to oneself at the same time.
Most of toxic effigies are made with their own unique appearance but a number of serial off-the shelf toxic effigies were made as well.
An advanced melee oriented model is currently tested as well, armed with dagger-blades hidden within hands instead of darts, and having Outflank, Weapon Finesse, and Two-Weapon Fighting feats.
