Description

Combat

Bay (Su): When a yeth hound howls or barks, all creatures except other evil outsiders within a 300-foot spread must succeed at a Will save (DC 12) 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 hound's bay for one day.

Trip (Ex): A yeth hound 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 yeth hound.

Flight (Su): A yeth hound can fly as the spell cast by an 11th-level sorcerer, as a free action. A yeth hound that loses this ability falls and can perform only partial actions.

Skills: *A yeth hound receives a +4 racial bonus to Wilderness Lore checks when tracking by scent.
