View source for SRD:Shocker Lizard

===Combat===

A shocker lizard relies on its electricity abilities in combat. A lizard tends to bite only after its shock has rendered an opponent [[SRD:Unconscious|unconscious]] or when the shock seems to have no effect at all. A solitary lizard flees once it delivers its shocks, but if other shocker lizards are nearby, they all home in on their comrade’s discharges and attempt to administer their shocks to the foe.  

'''Stunning Shock ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' Once per [[SRD:Round|round]], a shocker lizard can deliver an electrical shock to a single opponent within 5 feet. This attack deals 2d8 points of [[SRD:Nonlethal Damage|nonlethal damage]] to living opponents ([[SRD:Saving Throw|Reflex]] [[SRD:DC|DC]] 12 half ). The save [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]]-based.

'''Lethal Shock ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' Whenever two or more shocker lizards are within 20 feet of each other, they can work together to create a lethal shock. This effect has a radius of 20 feet, centered on any one contributing lizard. The shock deals 2d8 points of electricity damage for each lizard contributing to it, to a maximum of 12d8. A [[SRD:Saving Throw|Reflex save]] ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 10 + number of lizards contributing) reduces the damage by half.

'''Electricity Sense ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' Shocker lizards automatically detect any electrical discharges within 100 feet.

'''[[SRD:Skills (Creature Statistic)|Skills:]]''' Shocker lizards have a +4 racial bonus on [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]] checks due to their coloration. Shocker lizards have a +2 racial bonus on [[SRD:Listen Skill|Listen]] and [[SRD:Spot Skill|Spot]] checks.

Shocker lizards use their [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] modifier instead of their [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] modifier for [[SRD:Climb Skill|Climb]] and [[SRD:Jump Skill|Jump]] checks.

A shocker lizard has a +8 racial bonus on [[SRD:Climb Skill|Climb]] checks and can always choose to take 10 on a [[SRD:Climb Skill|Climb]] check, even if rushed or threatened.

A shocker lizard has a +8 racial bonus on any [[SRD:Swim Skill|Swim]] check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a [[SRD:Swim Skill|Swim]] check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.
