Abilities

Pierce Armor◆

Speartooth makes a fangs Strike against a creature it has Grabbed. If the attack hits, the creature is knocked Prone; if the creature is wearing armor with hardness 10 or lower, the armor is broken. If this Strike breaks a creature's armor or damages a creature who is unarmored or wearing broken armor, the creature also takes 3d6 bleed damage. This Strike doesn't further damage armor that's already broken.

Pounce◆

Speartooth Strides and makes a Strike at the end of that movement. If Speartooth began this action Hidden, it remains hidden until after this ability's Strike.

Sneak Attack

Speartooth deals 2d6 extra precision damage to creatures that are Off-Guard.

Grab◆

Smilodons are large saber-toothed cats, apex predators that are significantly more muscular and broader than the other species of big cats. They often kill prey with a quick stab to the throat or other vulnerable spot. The smilodon's oversized fangs are particularly sought after as trophies.

Few predators of the natural world can match the cat's talent for stalking and stealth.
