Swarm

Some kinds of bees are attuned enough to Pink energies that their many miniscule souls connect to form a single individual. The oversized queen bee at the heart of the swarm is the locus for these Pink energies, and no bee in the swarm can travel more than a meter from it. The bees typically stay touching one another, using their links to share muscle power.

Any given swarm of such bees has a particular pair of stripe colors, but no two swarms have quite the same pair of colors.

Switching between Creature Form and Cloud Form is a move action.

The expendable nature of most of the bees in the Swarm reduces any damage taken by 1.

While in Cloud Form, single-target attacks against the Swarm may take a -2 penalty to the attack roll in order to deal +4 Damage, by targeting the queen bee precisely. Also while in Cloud Form, the Swarm can squeeze through spaces as small as 1 centimeter wide.

When the Swarm inflicts a wound using an unarmed attack, it may inflict a wound on itself to inflict another wound on the victim, by having its members sting them.

Swarms are somewhat attuned with Pink energies to the point that a predominance of other colors can impair their motions. If they have more non-Pink gems implanted than Pink ones, they move at half speed.
