Tremorsense allows a monster to feel the vibrations through a solid surface caused by movement. It is an imprecise sense with a limited range (listed in the ability). Tremorsense functions only if the monster is on the same surface as the subject, and only if the subject is moving along (or burrowing through) the surface.
Constant Explosions (aura, fire)5-foot emanation Aura
4d6 fire, DC 29 basic reflex. This aura can't cause other pyronite oozes to split.
RejoinIf two or more Medium pyronite oozes end their turn in adjacent spaces, they merge into a Large pyronite ooze, combining their current Hit Points.
SplitWhen a Large pyronite ooze is hit by an attack that would deal bludgeoning or fire damage and it has 10 or more HP, it explodes, dealing 6d6 fire damage to creatures in a 10-foot radius (DC 29 basic reflex). This explosion can't cause other pyronite oozes to split. After exploding, the ooze splits into two Medium pyronite oozes, each with half the original's HP, which each fly through the air and land 15 feet from the original ooze in a random direction. If no space is unoccupied where the ooze would land, it automatically pushes creatures and objects out of the way to fill a space (the GM decides if an object or creature is too big or sturdy to push).
Exploding Split
Requirements The pyronite ooze is Large
Effect The pyronite ooze explodes in a violent conflagration, dealing 3d6 fire and 3d6 bludgeoning damage to all creatures in a 30-foot radius (DC 29 basic reflex). This explosion can't cause other pyronite oozes to split. After exploding, the ooze splits into two Medium pyronite oozes (see above), but this splitting doesn't deal additional damage.
With the discovery of the incredible gelatinous explosive called pyronite, it was perhaps inevitable alchemical monstrosities made of the stuff would soon follow. So-called pyronite oozes sometimes spontaneously manifest from stockpiles of pyronite or other powerful explosives, typically amid mana storms or when affected by powerful magic.
Pyronite oozes have an extremely unstable life cycle and are defined by their ability to continuously explode and reform themselves. A pyronite ooze's violent explosions hinder observations, making it difficult to learn anything from the volatile jelly. To complicate matters further, pyronite oozes seem drawn to other unstable alchemical concoctions. Test subjects brought to the Spellscar Desert have been observed bathing themselves in pools of magic-polluted effluvia. Although they typically reform into a single entity after exploding, pyronite oozes bathed in chemicals sometimes remain apart after splitting, creating two independent oozes. Some speculate that an as yet unknown reagent must be essential for the oozes to reproduce on their own.
Traits
This rarity indicates that a rules element is very difficult to find in the game world. A rare feat, spell, item or the like is available to players only if the GM decides to include it in the game, typically through discovery during play. Creatures with this trait are rare. They typically can't be summoned. The DC of Recall Knowledge checks related to these creatures is increased by 5.
MindlessA mindless creature has either programmed or rudimentary mental attributes. Most, if not all, of their mental ability modifiers are -5. They are immune to all mental effects.
