Nightcats are strange creatures, and I say that from a close, personal love of the creatures. Though I rate them as having the intelligence of an animal, often times I am not so sure they might be much smarter.  For 10 years now my closest companion has been one of these quirky felines, and he has been both a fearless companion and a ball of trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would venture to say they have a relation to the fey of Atheles, as there seems to be something a little “out of this world” about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are about a foot and a half tall at the shoulders, and a little less than three feet from nose to the end of their tufted tail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who travel this perilous world, I can recommend no greater road companion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Pounce<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A nightcat may use a Full Round Action to leap up to 20\u2019 and make two Claw attacks against a single target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If either Claw successfully hits, the nightcat may immediately attempt to Grab the target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Nightstep<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At night, a nightcat can seemingly disappear into the darkness and emerge from another shadow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As its Move Action, a nightcat may teleport up to 40\u2019 to a location it can see. Both the nightcat’s starting position and destination must be in darkness or dim light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Nightstep makes no sound and does not provoke reactions caused by moving through the intervening space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A nightcat cannot use Nightstep while in bright light or direct sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Grab<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When a Claw attack that also has Grab successfully hits, the nightcat and defender make an opposed Heroic Action. If the defender loses, they become grappled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The grappled creature must succeed at an opposed Heroic Action during its turn to escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Scent<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A nightcat can detect creatures within 30\u2019 by scent, even if they are hidden or invisible. It may make an Easy Spot check to detect nearby creatures by scent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Dark Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Nightcats can see clearly in low-light conditions up to 60\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1538","creature","type-creature","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nNightcat - SagaBorn D100 Core Rulebook (Beta)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sagaborn.com\/sbd100\/bestiary\/nightcat\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Nightcat - SagaBorn D100 Core Rulebook (Beta)\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Nightcats are strange creatures, and I say that from a close, personal love of the creatures.
