SPECIAL ABILITIES

Entangling Chains (Su) In addition to the chains it wields in combat, an orc binder can six of the chains that hang from its body as if they were its own limbs. As a standard action, it can cause these chains to snake outward to a radius of 30 feet. All creatures in this area take 10d6 points of slashing damage and become entangled—a DC 20 Reflex save halves the damage and negates the entangled condition. An entangled creature can escape with a DC 20 Reflex save or a DC 30 Escape Artist check made as a full-round action. The chains can also be sundered (hardness 10, hp 20, Break DC 28). The binder manifests these chains from its own body—destroyed chains regrow in 24 hours. The save DC is Dexterity-based.

Bind (Su) An orc binder can form a bond with a willing creature by touching that creature. This allows the binder to communicate telepathically with the bonded creature with no range restriction (provided the binder and its bonded creature are on the same plane). Both binder and bonded creature can sense the other’s condition as if both were under the effect of a status spell. A binder can maintain a bond with only one such creature at a time.

Planar Acclimation (Ex) An orc binder is always considered to be on its home plane, regardless of what plane it finds itself upon. It never gains the extraplanar subtype.
