Electrical Discharge (Ex) As a standard action, an
electrovore can spend 1 Resolve Point to discharge
some
of its stored electrical energy as a powerful attack. All
creatures within 10 feet of the electrovore take 1d6+2
electricity damage and are staggered for 1 round. A
target can attempt a DC 13 Reflex save to take half this
damage and negate the staggered effect.
Siphon (Ex) Whenever an electrovore scores a critical
hit against a living creature, a construct with the
technological subtype, or a technological piece of gear,
it siphons off a portion of the target’s electrical energy.
