Anatomy
Head (+4): +50% damage to headshots. Psi Core (Secret) (+2): +50% damage to the core, but only psionic attacks may target it. Shatterpoint (Secret: DC) (+0): Attacks against this have +2 to crit, and critical hits Daze (1 round). Arms (2) (+2): Required to use items, grapple, and perform actions. Has disadvantage to grapple for 1 round if hit, or forces immediate grapple check against attack roll to maintain it if one is active. Legs (2) (+2): If an attack/ability deals any effect besides damage to at least one leg, it also inflicts Cripple (10, 1 round).
Traits
None: What? Not everyone’s special.
Actions
Fireball: Major action - Ranged psionic attack, 60 ft. range, single-target, targets Reflex, 4 damage. Impair: Major action - Ranged psionic attack, 60 ft. range, single-target, 2 damage, d4 Block die (next attack) Flood: Major action - Ranged psionic attack, 60 ft. range, all targets within 10 ft. radius, targets Will, 2 damage, Cripple (half, 1 round). Psionic Deluge: Reaction - Psionic ability, the Greater Hive Drone forces a missed psionic attack to deal half damage. Nourish: Special - When the Greater Hive Drone uses Help, its range is increased to 50 feet and it also heals the target for 4 damage. Shield: Special - Avert imposes a 1d6 malus instead.
Tactics
Standard ranged/support tactics, staying out of range. Use Flood when the player might close in, with Impair to be used if Avert can’t be. At higher tiers, Nourish and Shield make the GHD a very potent support.
Drops
60 EXP, 30 T1 Grist, 60 BG
Description
Because absolutely nobody asked for more Hive Drones, there exists a greater version, like some sort of queen among their ranks.
