ally open with a charge attack.
Rage (Ex): Any creature that attacks a Raevhan buffalo
while inside its territorial area causes it to go into a berserk rage
that ends in the death of one or the other; additionally, however,
there is a 50% chance that the buffalo will rage at even the
mere sight/scent of an intruder in its domain. There is a 75%
chance a raging buffalo will continue to pursue opponents well
beyond its territory. The buffalo gains +4 Str, +4
Con, and –2 AC during the rage.
Trample (Ex): Reflex half DC 20. The
save DC is Strength-based.
Skills (Ex): Raevhan buffalo can be
surprisingly stealthy for their size. They
have a +4 racial bonus to Hide checks
and a +6 racial bonus to Move Silently
checks. *In dense forest, the Hide
bonus increases to +8.
Treasure
The Raevhan buffalo keeps no
treasure of its own. Although they are
difficult to hunt, the rare and disappearing
Khadoran plains people have made
a science of it, and the bounty the
beast provides can feed a
family for weeks. Their
antlers make excellent
material for tools
and weapons. It has a
hardness of 6 with 12
hp per inch of thickness, and it
grants a +2 circumstance bonus to all
Craft checks made to work it. A raw
antler would sell for as much as
100–200 gp, while materials
crafted of it might sell
for 10–15% greater
than market value;
the more artistically
crafted items of the
native peoples can sell
for much more.
Legends & Lore
CoMMoN: Raevhan buffalo are extremely territorial and temperamental
creatures that attack anything that enters their area.
UNCoMMoN: They mark off their areas by digging ruts
into trees with their antlers, rubbing their musk all over them
in the process. These trees are a surefire way of knowing a
buffalo is nearby.

Raevhan Buffalo
RARE: These buffalo are actually inactive during the mid part
of the day, and one has a good chance of sneaking by their territory
during that time.
obSCURE: Raevhan buffalo are unusually tolerant of the
Khadoran burrow rat (not a true rat, mind you), and one may
disguise their scent with the musk of these creatures to pass
through a buffalo’s territory unharmed.
Hooks
Usha Makara, the
eldest of the waning
Andulhar
plains family
is entering
into
her last
days, and
she must
make
her pilgrimage
to the
family’s
ancestral
gravesite. This
trip must be made
on a stretcher made of
the antler and hide of a
Raevhan buffalo. Unfortunately,
most of the family’s warriors are lame
or old and cannot bring one down.
They are looking for someone who can
help them take down one of these creatures
so that Usha can make her trip.
Do you see how it lifts its nose towards the rising
sun? That is because they can smell the coming sunlight.
The day that the Raevhan fail to look towards the rising
sun will be the first day of the Ravaging, as prophesied in
ancient times. For my people, I think that day is coming soon,
my friend.
— Asad Makara, the last of the Andulhar warriors
Must research this “Ravaging.” Sounds bad.
