| | Description: |
Combat
A manticore begins most attacks with a volley of spikes, then
closes. In the outdoors, it often uses its powerful wings to stay
aloft during battle.
Spikes (Ex): With a snap of its tail, a manticore can loose a
volley of six spikes as a standard action. This attack has a
range of 180 feet with no range increment. A spike threatens a
critical hit on a natural attack roll of 19 or 20. The creature
can launch only twenty-four spikes in any one day.
Skills: *Manticores receive a +4 racial bonus to Spot checks
in daylight.
