Template or subtype, then.

Hmm... upon rereading, I think the splash damage would be doubled, but the direct hit damage would only be +50%.

Edit: The language is the same in both, so this doesn't make sense either...

Somehow, I don't think using two different descriptions of 'swarm' is a good starting point.

I didn't write the rules... I'm just trying to figure out how to use them. Go complain to the person who decided to make up two different kinds of swarms in the same ruleset...  :banghead :P

Per the swarm subtype, that damage should be doubled I'm pretty sure.
Half again (+50%), per SRD and PFSRD.
This says double.
Quote
A creature swarm takes a –10 penalty on saving throws against spells or effects that affect an area, such as many evocation spells or grenade-like weapons. If the area attack does not allow a saving throw, the swarm takes double damage instead.

Edit: No... it uses exactly the same damned wording...  :banghead :shakefist
Ah, so an area affect does +50% damage, unless the area affect does not allow a save, in which case it does double. Good to know.

This is something new to me!  Fascinating.

Also Berid is up, and Axejack has AoOs.

Say Axejack, do you AoO the swarm on you, or the one Matsu fired at (the one just in front of you).  In this case it's important.

Oh yes, you are totally covered in rats.  Don't let them get in your beard, you'll be picking out corpses for days.

Go ahead and post your AoO in the thread then.  With the combined forces, you kill it.  After which it is still Berid's turn.

So, to recap, everything in the hallway, other than us, is dead? And Akemi, whom we have not heard from this round, is through the portal with Skizzorz?

I forget, are those 5' squares on the map?

No, there is still a rat swarm covering Axejack.

That AoO and the one killed with combined forces is the swarm that wasn't swarming Axejack.
There were 2 swarms. Now there is one. ;)

If I had tumbled through there, would I still have been subject to the effects of the swarm? That's part of what I was asking...

Normally, Swarms affect people within their area at the end of the swarm's move. They don't threaten areas, and so you can pass through them without much risk.

Some swarms may have their own special abilities that can cause problems, however.

Well crap... what does rolling an 8 on a splash weapon attack mean... I think it likely means that it will just take splash damage, instead of rolled, and won't catch on fire...
