===Combat===
A centipede swarm seeks to surround and attack any living prey it encounters. A swarm deals 2d6 points of damage to any creature whose space it occupies at the end of its move.

'''Distraction ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' Any living creature that begins its turn with a centipede swarm in its space must succeed on a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 13 [[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude save]] or be [[SRD:Nauseated|nauseated]] for 1 [[SRD:Round|round]]. The save [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]]-based.

'''[[SRD:Poison|Poison]] ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' Injury, [[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude]] [[SRD:DC|DC]] 13, initial and secondary damage 1d4 [[SRD:Dexterity|Dex]]. The save [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]]-based.

'''[[SRD:Skills (Creature Statistic)|Skills:]]''' A centipede swarm has a +4 racial bonus on [[SRD:Spot Skill|Spot]] checks and a +8 racial bonus on [[SRD:Climb Skill|Climb]] checks, and uses its [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] modifier instead of its [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] modifier for [[SRD:Climb Skill|Climb]] checks. A centipede swarm 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.
