harder to take down than most.<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 />

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 />
