Mephit (Salt)

Salt Mephit

You can expect acerbic quips, biting remarks and painful wounds from a salt mephit; the glittering, crystalline imps have a particularly annoying habit of keeping a running commentary as they slash and tear at victims.

Initiative: +7

Limited Use: 1/battle unless the taunt's damage makes the target staggered, in which case it is recharged.

Flight: Salt mephits fly fairly well, but they hate to be out in the open air where a passing squall or shower might soak them and make them melt away.
Resistance Physical 14+

Nastier Specials
Salt in the Wound: Whenever the mephit hits a staggered target with salt claws or salt crystal blast, the daze effect becomes (save ends) instead of just lasting for 1 round.
