View source for Veribird BM-2 Transport (3.5e Monster)

=== Combat ===

Veribirds do not naturally engage in combat, but perform whatever tasks they are ordered to within the limits of their bot programming.  When manned, creatures within can engage its heat ray as if using a ranged weapon on the back of a mount, using the veribirds attack bonus or the creature using it, whichever is better.  Some models lack the heat ray and can only rely on melee.

'''Crew:'''  Veribirds can hold up to 8 medium creatures, and it requires no pilot.  However a creature can choose to pilot it directly.  When piloted use the veribirds or the pilot's BAB and [[Dexterity]] for the purpose of attack rolls.

'''Disruptor Ray {{Su}}:'''  Veribirds come with a disruptor ray superficially similar to a ''[[SRD:Scorching Ray|scorching ray]]'' spell, except it is a supernatural ability with a range increment (rather than a maximum range) of 100 ft that deals acid damage.  It fires only a single ray, or three rays on a full attack.  Creatures can manually control the ray using their own actions instead of the veribird, allowing it to continue moving or acting of its own violation.  Treat it as if attacking with a ranged weapon from a mount for the purpose of penalties.

'''Heavy Lifter {{Ex}}:'''  Veribirds act as quadrupeds for lifting capacity, and may fly even under a medium or heavy load at reduced speed. 

'''MADAR {{Su}}:'''  Veribirds have a special magical detection method that acts like a wide area blindsense, except it only detects creatures and objects of Large or larger size within 1 mile and it is obstructed by physical objects and cover allowing creatures to hide from this sense.  MADAR is vague, and only determines that something is there and not its shape or what it is.  It's greatest benefit is being able to continue to fly even if visibility is 0.  MADAR can be toggled on and off as a swift action, while it is active the veribird gives off a strong aura of divination, caster level 16th, and can be seen by ''[[SRD:Detect Magic|detect magic]]'' even outside of its 60 ft range as a glowing point of light.

'''[[Bot (3.5e Subtype)|Programming]]:'''  The veribird possesses the following programs: Calculate, Collect, Reposition, and Self-Preservation.
