== Dire Boar (CR 5) ==
Gigantic feral pigs, Dire Boars are far more dangerous than their seemingly innocuous background would suggest.  Dire Boars are cranky, foul-tempered, widespread and reproduce at a stunning pace.  Dire Boars can become a serious menace in only a year or two, rooting up crops and killing livestock for food.


Dire boars are omnivorous and spend most of their time rooting around, much as ordinary pigs do. They will tear down fences, rip up roads and paths, and generally make themselves into gigantic problems. They are quite territorial and will viciously attack anything that approaches them while they are in 'their' space.

The Dire Boar is such a ferocious fighter that it continues to fight for one round after its hit points are reduced to zero or below. During this round it ignores all conditions and acts normally in all ways, but it then dies immediately at the end of its turn.


; Goring Charge (Ex)
When using a charge maneuver, the dire boar may roll its Goring Charge damage rather than its Bite damage.  Dire boars also get a +2 to attack and damage rolls when charging if they decide not to use their Goring Charge attack. 


Attack:


Goring Charge +12 (3d6+2/19-20x2)
<!--  GENERAL ATTACK INFORMATION  -->


=== TREASURE ===
| MeleeOrNatural = Melee
sell value of approximately 1,375 gp
  <!--REQUIRED; Values: "Melee" (for weapon-wielding monsters), or "Natural" (for natural attacks)-->


=== COMBAT TACTICS ===
| MultipliedDamageType =  
Dire Boars will charge into battle to use Goring Charge, and will take any opportunities offered to charge again.  With an intelligence of 2, dire boars are not smart enough to optimize their movement for charges (e.g. move away, then charge back), which means they will typically only get to charge on the first round of combat.
  <!--Roles only (leave blank if no role); Values: "Attacks" (+atks/rnd), "Damage" (+damage/rnd), or "Hybrid" (default; both +atks/+dmg)-->


If it is hemmed in it will resort to full attacks and will fight to the death, and using its Ferocity ability, for one round after death.

Special Abilities

Ferocity (Su)

The Dire Boar is such a ferocious fighter that it continues to fight for one round after its hit points are reduced to zero or below. During this round it ignores all conditions and acts normally in all ways, but it then dies immediately at the end of its turn.

Goring Charge (Ex)

When using a charge maneuver, the dire boar may roll its Goring Charge damage rather than its Bite damage.

  • Goring Charge + (/19-20x2)
Dire Boar

Dire Boar

Gigantic feral pigs, Dire Boars are far more dangerous than their seemingly innocuous background would suggest. Dire Boars are cranky, foul-tempered, widespread and reproduce at a stunning pace. Dire Boars can become a serious menace in only a year or two, rooting up crops and killing livestock for food.

Dire boars are omnivorous and spend most of their time rooting around, much as ordinary pigs do. They will tear down fences, rip up roads and paths, and generally make themselves into gigantic problems. They are quite territorial and will viciously attack anything that approaches them while they are in 'their' space.
Dire boars grow up to 12 feet long and weigh as much as 2,000 pounds.

Combat Tactics

Dire Boars will charge into battle to use Goring Charge, and will take any opportunities offered to charge again. With an intelligence of 2, dire boars are not smart enough to optimize their movement for charges (e.g. move away, then charge back), which means they will typically only get to charge on the first round of combat.

If it is hemmed in it will resort to full attacks and will fight to the death, and using its Ferocity ability, for one round after death.
