|
Deadshot (Ex; Shooter Role) Always On |
Shooters may use any of their listed special attacks as though they have a range increment of 30 feet, with a maximum range of 150 feet. If an ability already has a listed range which is greater than this, use that range instead. |
Unblinking Accuracy (Ex; Shooter Role) Always On |
Shooters never take penalties for firing into melee. In addition, Shooters never suffer penalties on their attack rolls due to range, though they are still limited by the maximum range of their attack. |
Dire Rat (Summoned)
This creature possesses the Shooter role, and therefore counts as 2 monsters for purposes of encounter size, XP award, and treasure.These large rodents are endemic to dungeons, ruins and places with large amounts of detritus and trash. They are universally reviled and driven out by civilized races, though they are sometimes used as watchdogs and pets by less civilized folk. A dire rat looks like a very large rat, easily two feet long and weighing upwards of twenty-five pounds. They have filthy, matted fur, smell terrible, and are known to carry disease.Combat Tactics
Dire rats are animals, but they have surprisingly good instincts. Their tactics usually boil down to 'charge and bite' or 'flank and power attack.' If they have inflicted a good number of bites, dire rats are perfectly willing to flee and come back in a few days to see what's died from their filth fever. They will attempt to withdraw and use their stealth skill to escape.
Out of Combat
Outside of combat, dire rats congregate with other dire rats, as well as normal rats, often in places with high amounts of garbage or discarded food. They build nests which they share with regular rats, often mistaking their smaller cousins as baby dire rats or runts. Dire rats will travel fairly long distances to find food sources, and will relocate their nest within days of finding a location with better access to food, water and hiding places. This habit of moving upon discovering better habitats makes them somewhat nomadic, and also means they can be found nearly anywhere.
