Combat<br />

A tough creature fights as per its base type, but it is<br />

harder to take down than most.<br />

Improved Healing (Ex): The creature now heals at<br />

double the base creature’s rate. If it has any healing special<br />

abilities, such as fast healing or regeneration, those rates are<br />

doubled as well.<br />

Urban<br />

An urban creature is one normally found in the wilderness<br />

but which has adapted to life in the city. These are<br />

usually small creatures that have made a nest in some rundown<br />

area and have found a means of sustaining themselves,<br />

whether by scavenging through refuse or assaulting citizens.<br />

They are very stealthy and secretive and can dwell in a hidden<br />

den <strong>for</strong> years without being found. Frequently they become<br />

the subjects of greatly exaggerated urban legends.<br />

(DM’s discretion).<br />

Combat<br />

Urban creatures vary widely in combat, and their methods<br />

are usually consistent with the base creature. Their movement<br />

abilities are incredible, and they can either stalk prey or flee<br />

from enemies through urban terrain with grace that few can<br />

keep up with. Secrecy is part of their nature, and as such<br />

they usually only engage in combat when it favors them.<br />

City Stealth (Su): An urban creature leaves no tracks<br />

when moving about in an urban environment and cannot be<br />

tracked by conventional means.<br />

Hidden Den (Ex): All urban creatures maintain a den<br />

of some type. This is always in a hidden location. Anyone<br />

attempting to locate it suffers a –4 circumstance penalty to<br />

all related skill checks (such as Search, Spot, and Survival).<br />

Quickplates<br />

I must admit a particular<br />

fascination with creatures<br />

that have learned to make<br />

their homes in our cities. I<br />

look <strong>for</strong>ward to completing a<br />

scholarly treatise on the urban<br />

environment one day, but first<br />

I have much work to finish in<br />

the wilds… and I haven’t even<br />

touched on what fascinating<br />

terrors Cryx has to offer.<br />

Of course, sometimes I think<br />

Lynus would be happy never<br />

to leave the university again,<br />

but I can’t stay put <strong>for</strong> too<br />

long without getting itchy feet.<br />
