Burn (Ex) Those hit by an ember viper's bite attack must succeed at a DC 8 Reflex save or catch fire. The flame burns for 1d4 rounds, doing 1d2 points of damage each round. A burning creature can take a move action to put out the flame.
Poison (Ex) An ember viper has a poisonous bite (DC 10) that deals initial and secondary damage of 1d6 Con. The save DCs are Constitution-based.
Ember vipers rely on their venomous bite to kill prey and defend themselves.
Skills: Ember vipers have a +4 racial bonus on Hide, Listen, and Spot checks and a +8 racial bonus on Balance and Climb checks. Ember vipers can always choose to take 10 on a Climb check, even if rushed or threatened. Ember vipers use either their Strength modifier or Dexterity modifier for Climb checks, whichever is higher. An ember viper has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.
