Syringe Stirge

Syringe Stirge (Su)

Prerequisites

Alchemist 6

Benefit

As a Full-Round Action, an Alchemist can expend two daily uses of bombs to create a syringe stirge, a tiny construct primed with a bomb (if they have multiple types of bombs, they must select which type the syringe stirge carries when created). Undirected, they take no actions except to flock around them in their square and follow them as best they can. They can be attacked normally, but gain Cover while occupying the Alchemist's square. As a Swift Action, the Alchemist can order one of their syringe stirges to attack an enemy they can see. Once ordered to attack that enemy, the syringe stirge will continue to attack every round, attempting to attach and deliver their payload

A syringe stirge has all of the statistics of a Stirge but lacks the blood drain ability.

If they end their turn attached to an opponent, they inject the bomb into the opponent’s bloodstream, dealing damage as a direct hit plus the Alchemist’s Intelligence modifier (as the Throw Anything feat—this injection is a direct attack and doesn’t deal splash damage. A syringe stirge dies immediately after injecting their bomb. A syringe stirge lasts for 1 minute per Alchemist level or until destroyed; if they have not attached to an enemy before the end of their life span, they and their bomb payload fall inert.
