View source for Pixel (3.5e Monster)

=== Combat ===

Pixels do not engage in combat, and have effectively no attacks.  They are at the mercy of others, or what hazards they can set up with ''[[SRD:Mage Hand|mage hand]]''.

Pixel swarms are enough in number to deal damage, and able to distract beings easily.  They are also intelligent, which depending on the personality of the formed swarm may give it new and dangerous options in fighting.  Specifically pixelmind swarms perfer to make use of their difficulty to be hit by kiting opponents into more dangerous situations, then distracting them when they need to focus most.

'''Collective Conciousness {{Ex}}:'''  When two or more pixels enter the same 10 foot space their minds link up, increasing their [[Intelligence]] and [[Charisma]] with an enhancement bonus.  The bonus is +1 with 2 pixels, +2 with 4 pixels, +3 with 8 pixels, +4 with 16 pixels, and so forth.  For example, the swarm has an average of 16,384+ pixels, giving it a +14 to [[Int]] and [[Cha]].

'''Distraction {{Ex}}:'''  Any living creature that begins its turn with a pixel swarm in its space must succeed on a DC 16 [[Fortitude]] save or be nauseated for 1 round. The save DC is [[Constitution]]-based with a +2 racial bonus. 

'''Immunities {{Ex}}:'''  Pixels are immune to critical hits and sneak attacks, disease, mind-affecting effects, and poison.

'''Rejected by Chaos and Law {{Ex}}:'''  Old grudges die hard, and the pixels still find no shelter within chaos or law. They count as the least beneficial alignment (chaotic or lawful) whenever possible, regardless of their actual alignment.  

'''Semi-Incorporeal {{Ex}}:'''  Math does not have much substance it seems.  The pixel may pass through solid matter as if it were [[SRD:Incorporeal|incorporeal]].  However it remains corporeal for all other effects.

'''Spell-Like Abilities {{Sp}}:'''  At will- ''[[SRD:Detect Magic|detect magic]]'', ''[[SRD:Mage Hand|mage hand]]''.  2/day- ''[[SRD:Augury|augury]]''. 1/day-''[[SRD:Hypnotic Pattern|hypnotic pattern]]'' (swarm only).  The save DCs are [[Charisma]] based.
