This fast healing applies only to damage inflicted on the hydra's body. Hydra Traits (Ex) A nagahydra can be killed by severing all of its heads or slaying its body. Any attack that is not an attempt to sever a head affects the body, including area attacks or attacks that cause piercing or bludgeoning damage. To sever a head, an opponent must make a sunder attempt with a slashing weapon targeting a head. A head is considered a separate weapon with hardness 0 and hit points equal to the nagahydra's HD. To sever a head, an opponent must inflict enough damage to reduce the head's hit points to 0 or less. Severing a head deals damage to the nagahydra's body equal to the hydra's current HD. A nagahydra can't attack with a severed head, but takes no other penalties. Multicasting (Ex) A nagahydra can choose to cast multiple spells as a standard action, as long as all of those spells have a casting time of one standard action. Each level of spells cast in a single round requires the use of one head (0th level spells count as 1st level spells for this purpose). If it has more or less heads than its normal number (because of severing or the regenerate head ability), it can cast more or less levels of spells when it casts multiple spells. For example, a nagahydra with its normal allotment of heads could cast a 2nd level and 3rd level spell in the same action, or a 4th level spell and a 1nd level spell, or five 1st level spells. Poison (Ex) Bite—injury; save Fort DC 30; duration 1/round for 4 rounds; effect 1d6 Con damage; cure 2 saves. The save DC is Constitution based. Regenerate Head (Ex) When a nagahydra's head is destroyed, two heads regrow in 1d4 rounds. A nagahydra cannot have more than twice its original number of heads at any one time. To prevent new heads from growing, at least 5 points of acid or fire damage must be dealt to the stump (a touch attack to hit) before they appear. Acid or fire damage from area attacks can affect stumps and the body simultaneously. A nagahydra doesn't die from losing its heads until all are cut off and the stumps seared by acid or fire. Heads beyond its usual allotment of five die and are shed 24 hours after growing. Spells A nagahydra can cast spells as a 15th level sorcerer. It can also cast spells from the cleric list, and from the Scalykind domain. A nagahydra does not gain additional benefits from the sorcerer class, such as bloodline spells, unless it takes levels in sorcerer.
