Description
Bears attack by rending opponents with their claws, dragging them in and biting them. All bears are very tough to kill, and are able to move and attack for one round after losing all hit points.
A Battle Bear is a large bear covered in wiry black fur with smooth, hardened plates of bone covering vital areas. A pair of short spears are held by two additional stubby arms attached at its shoulders. It attacks by charging at a foe to skewer them on its spears before clawing and, on a roll of 20 on a d20 with a claw attack, hugging the target for 2d8 points of hug damage. The hardened plates on its head cause it to be unable to effectively bite in combat.
A patrol of 2d4 battle bears may occasionally be found in areas of the forest with a high bear population, acting as guardians for other bear species.
