I hope you enjoy the velocitoad. I'll be back tomorrow with the Frogtober finale!
(art will be added to this post and put in a new post when I receive it from Hugo)
This sleek, bright
yellow frog seems to hover just above the ground. When it runs, it takes on the
appearance of a lightning bolt.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Flashing Charge (Su)
If a velocitoad charges, it gains a +2 dodge bonus to Armor Class against
attacks of opportunity for moving out of or within a threatened area. It also
adds its Dexterity bonus to its damage in place of its Strength modifier.
Quick Adjust (Su)
A velocitoad can take a 5-foot step as an immediate action. If it does so, it
cannot take a 5-foot step during its next turn, and it subtracts 5 feet from
its total movement during its next turn.
Velocitoad Toxin (Su)
Bite—injury; save Fort DC 12; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d3 Con and hasted; cure 2
consecutive saves. A victim hasted by
velocitoad toxin that moves 20 feet or more during its turn must succeed at a
DC 12 Fortitude save or become fatigued (a fatigued victim becomes exhausted,
and an exhausted victim drops to –1 hit points and is dying); the victim
does not suffer penalties from the fatigued and exhausted conditions while poisoned.
While poisoned, a victim is unaware of its fatigued or exhausted condition,
unless it succeeds at a DC 12 Will save. Additionally, if a victim hasted by the toxin moves 10 feet or
more as a move action, roll a d% to determine how far the victim moves. On 01–40,
it moves the distance it intends; on 41–70, it moves 50% more than it intends;
on 71–90,
it moves twice as far as it intends; and on 91–100, it moves three times as
far as it intends. If the victim moves further than it intends and collides
with a solid object, it takes damage as if it fell the additional distance. The
save DCs are Constitution-based.
Velocitoads derive from a species of desert toads gifted
with extraordinary speed through exposure to temporal magic. The original toads
passed their incredible speed on to their progeny, which also developed a toxin
that speeds up other creatures, often to the detriment of the victims. Velocitoads
effectively hunt by poisoning their victims and letting those creatures run
themselves to death.
A spellcaster with the Improved Familiar feat, and knows haste or another spell that increases base
speed, can gain a velocitoad as a familiar at 7th level. While a spellcaster
has a velocitoad familiar, she casts spells that increase base speed at +1
caster level for the purpose of determining duration.
