Foul Breath (Su)
3/day, a death cap can emit a 30-ft.-cone of foul gas. All creatures caught within the cone are affected by the following status effects for 1d4 rounds each: Berserk (Will save DC 21 to negate), Blind (Fortitude save DC 21 to negate), Confuse (Will save DC 21 to negate), Silence (Fortitude save DC 21 to negate), Poison (Fortitude save DC 21 to resist), Slow (Fortitude save DC 21 to negate). The death cap must wait 1d4 rounds to use this ability again. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 5th level spell (Knowledge: Nature DC 25).
Dream Pollen (Su)
3/day, a death cap can fill the air with drowsiness within a 15-ft.-radius. Creatures within the area of effect must make a Will save (DC 21) or be inflicted with sleep status for 1d4 rounds. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 2nd level spell (Knowledge: Nature DC 19).
Poison Gas (Su)
3/day, a death cap can release a poison gas from itself spread outward in a 30-ft.-radius. Creatures within the area of effect take 12d6 points of non-elemental damage and are inflicted with Poison status for 1d6 rounds, a successful Fortitude save (DC 21) to negate the status effect and reduce the damage by half. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 6th level spell (Knowledge: Nature DC 27).
Stench (Ex)
A death cap constantly emits a putrid stench that nearly every form of animal life finds offensive. All living creatures (except death caps or other funguar) within 30 feet of a death cap must succeed on a DC 21 Fortitude save or be nauseated for as long as they remain within 30 feet of the creature. Moving out of the affected area leaves the character sickened for 1 round after which time he recovers immediately. The save DC is Constitution-based. Creatures that successfully save cannot be affected by the same death cap’s stench for 24 hours. This is a poison effect.
