Description
Bears attack by rending opponents with their claws, dragging them in and biting them. A bear's hug attack is resolved as given in the individual entry. All bears are very tough to kill, and are able to move and attack for one round after losing all hit points.
Black bears are omnivorous, and despite their formidable size and strength are not particularly aggressive, though a female will fight fiercely if her cubs are threatened.
On a natural 19-20 with a claw attack, a black bear catches the victim in a hug for 2d6 extra damage. All bears are very tough to kill, and are able to move and attack for one round after losing all hit points.
