Special Abilities
Bouncy (Ex) Magma cubes are incapable of sliding themselves along the ground and instead bound from place to place. Magma cubes have no upper limit to how far they can jump, are always treated as though they had a running start, and treat the DC to make a jump as half the distance to be crossed (if horizontal) or equal to the height to be reached (if vertical). Additionally, magma cubes do not have to declare how far they are jumping before they make the jump. Instead, magma cubes roll their acrobatics check and can travel any distance whose DC is less than or equal to the result rolled. Magma cubes treat their total acrobatics modifier for jumping as +5.
Magma cubes take no damage from falling.
