| | Description: |
Combat
Bay (Su): When a shadow mastiff howls or barks, all creatures
except evil outsiders within a 300-foot spread must succeed at a
Will save (DC 13) or become panicked for 2d4 rounds. This is a
sonic, mind-affecting fear effect. Whether or not the save is
successful, an affected creature is immune to that mastiff's
bay for one day.
Trip (Ex): A shadow mastiff that hits with its bite attack can
attempt to trip the opponent as a free action without making a
touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity. If the
attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the shadow
mastiff.
Shadow Blend (Su): During any conditions other than full
daylight, a shadow mastiff can disappear into the shadows, giving
it nine-tenths concealment. Artificial illumination, even a light
or continual flame spell, does not negate this ability. A
daylight spell, however, will.
Skills: A shadow mastiff receives a +4 racial bonus to
Wilderness Lore checks when tracking by scent.
