GRIMLOCK MONSTER CLASS

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Grimlock monster class.

Weapons and Armor Proficiency: Grimlocks are automatically proficient with all simple weapons and the battleaxe.

Feats: A grimlock receives one feat at 1st level. After 4th level it gains feats normally according to its character level.

Blindsight (Ex): Grimlocks can sense all foes within range as a sighted creature would. Beyond that range, they treat all targets as having total concealment. Grimlocks are susceptible to sound- and scent-based attacks, however, and are affected normally by loud noises and sonic spells (such as ghost sound or silence) and overpowering odors (such as stinking cloud or incense-heavy air). Negating a grimlock's sense of smell or hearing reduces this ability to normal Blind-Fight (as the feat). If both these senses are negated, a grimlock is effectively blinded.

Natural Camouflage (Ex): A grimlock's dull gray skin helps it hide in its native terrain, conferring a racial bonus on Hide checks when in mountains or underground.

Scent (Ex): Beginning at 2nd level, a grimlock can detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell within the given range (double range if the scent is upwind, one-half-range if the scent is downwind). When the grimlock detects a scent, the exact location of the source is not revealed -- only its presence somewhere within range. The grimlock can take a move action to note the direction of the scent. Whenever the grimlock comes within 5 feet of the source, the grimlock pinpoints the source's location.
