Hive Mind (Ex)


Inspire Hive (Su)

Once per day as a full action, a myrmarch can agitate the hive mind to empower all formian warriors and workers within range of its telepathy.

For 10 minutes, each affected creature gains a +4 morale bonus to attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks, as well as immunity to fear effects and temporary Hit Points equal to twice the creature’s CR. A creature can be affected by only one myrmarch’s inspire hive ability at a time.


Environment any land or underground
Organization solitary, team (2–4), platoon (1 plus 7–18 formian warriors and 6–12 formian workers), or royal guard (4 plus 12–20 formian warriors)

Formian taskmasters and myrmarchs each serve highly specialized roles within their hive-organized species. Taskmasters are typically 5 feet tall and weigh 300 pounds, while myrmarchs average 8 feet in height and weigh around 1,200 pounds.

Formian taskmasters play a mercantile role and often represent formian interests abroad. Formian myrmarchs are almost never seen outside of the hive. These aristocratic members of formian culture are the queen’s agents and advisors, generals of formian armies, and leaders of complex civic projects.

They are deadly combatants, but their real power comes from their ability to elicit extraordinary performance from the entire hive.
