Attack of Opportunity

Any ability that would sever a chimera&#x27;s head (such as a critical hit with a <a href="/equipment/vorpal">Vorpal</a> Weapon) severs one head at random. Losing a head doesn&#x27;t kill a chimera (as long as it has one head left), but it does prevent it from making Strikes with the lost head or using the head&#x27;s Breath Weapon.

Three-Headed

The chimeric manticore&#x27;s blue-dragon head breathes a 60-foot line of electricity that deals 8d6 electricity damage to all creatures in the area (DC 25 Basic Reflex).
The chimeric manticore can&#x27;t use Breath Weapon again for [[/gmr 1d4 #Recharge Breath Weapon]]{1d4 rounds}.

Breath Weapon

The manticore flings up to two spikes from its tail, targeting either two different creatures or a single creature. If the manticore targets two different creatures, these creatures must be within 20 feet of one another, and the manticore makes a separate Strike against each; this counts as only one Strike for the manticore&#x27;s multiple attack penalty, and the penalty doesn&#x27;t increase until after both attacks. If the manticore fires both spikes at the same creature, it makes a single Strike. If the attack hits, it deals the damage of a single spike, but the target is pinned in place, rendering it <a href="/condition/immobilized">Immobilized</a>. A creature that succeeds at a DC 25 Athletics check (attempted as a single action) can pull the spike free.
A manticore can hurl no more than 12 spikes in 24 hours.

Spike Volley

The chimera makes a Strike with its dragon jaws, lion jaws, and goat horns, each at a -2 penalty and targeting a different creature. These Strikes count as only one attack for the chimera&#x27;s multiple attack penalty, and the penalty doesn&#x27;t increase until after it has made all three attacks.

Three-Headed Strike

A chimera gains 2 extra reactions each round that it can use only to make Attacks of Opportunity. It must use a different head for each reaction, and it can&#x27;t use more than one on the same triggering action. If it loses one of its heads, it also loses one of these extra reactions.
