Special Abilities

Batter (Ex)
 Candies forming the candy storm move and impact with surprising strength, dealing increased swarm damage and pushing each Medium or smaller target target 1d3 × 5 feet in a random direction, though their erratic trajectories can be avoided, to a degree, halving the damage and negating being pushed with a successful Reflex saving throw (DC 15). The saving throw DC is Dexterity-based and includes +2 racial bonus.

Flavor Of The Storm (Ex) Creatures that fail their saving throw against batter are subject to additional effect based on a type of candies the storm is composed of.
  • Bitter Herbs: The target is sickened for 1d3 rounds.
  • Candy-Floss: The target is blinded for 1d3 rounds.
  • Liquor Filling: The target becomes vulnerable to fire for 1d3 rounds.
  • Soft And Sticky: The target has its speed halved for 1d3 rounds.
  • Mixed: A random effect picked from any of the above.

An ancient treat gone sour or a modern culinary experiment of a bitter madman, a candy storm is an animate vortex of really hard candies flying around and smashing things, breaking teeth, and discouraging children from appreciating sweets.
