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.

Polar bears are found in far northern regions. They are larger and more powerful than brown bears, and just as hostile.

On a natural 19-20 with a claw attack, a polar bear catches the victim in a hug for 2d8 extra damage. All bears are very tough to kill, and are able to move and attack for one round after losing all hit points.
