Mutated Animal

MUTATED BAT TRAITS +2 Dexterity, +2 Wisdom, -2 Constitution, -2 Intelligence: Mutated bats are agile and highly aware of their surroundings, but they are frail and less intellectual than humans. Medium: Mutated bats are Medium creatures and have no bonuses or penalties due to their size. Normal Speed: Mutated bats have a base speed of 30 feet. Blindsight: Mutated bats have blindsight out to 120 feet. They use echolocation to “see” their surroundings, making concealment irrelevant to them. When using their blindsight ability to “see”, mutated bats cannot distinguish color or visual contrast, so they cannot use this ability to read. Mutated bats using blindsight are not subject to gaze attacks, and are not penalized by blindness or being dazzled. Deafening attacks thwart this ability, as echolocation relies on hearing. Blindsight works underwater but not in a vacuum. Blindsight negates displacement and blur effects. Light Sensitivity: Mutated bats are dazzled (-1 penalty on attack rolls and Perception checks) in areas of bright illumination (sunlight, flashlight beam, et cetera), but are not penalized when relying on their blindsight ability. Low-Light Vision: Mutated bats can see twice as far as humans in areas of dim light. Languages: Mutated bats begin play speaking the native language of local humans (English in Meriga and Eukay) and Bat, the special language of mutated bats. Mutated bats with high Intelligence scores can choose any languages they want (except secret languages).

Claws: Mutated bears have nonretractable claws that function as natural weapons.
