Somewhat Trained

The carnival bear might respond to commands even while hostile or unfriendly. If it's hostile or unfriendly, use the following degrees of success instead of the usual check results for attempts to Command an Animal against the bear.


Critical Success The bear does as commanded on its next turn.

Success The bear hesitates and does nothing on its next turn.

Failure The bear attacks the creature attempting to command it on its next turn.

Critical Failure The bear attacks the creature attempting to command it on its next turn, and becomes immune to Command an Animal for 1 minute.

Gentle Mauler

The carnival bear gains +1 circumstance bonus to damage rolls against creatures it has Grabbed. After damaging a creature it has grabbed, it automatically releases the creature from its grip.

Grab One Action

Requirements The monster's last action was a successful Strike that lists Grab in its damage entry, or the monster has a creature Grabbed or Restrained


Effect If used after a Strike, the monster attempts to [/act grapple] the creature using the body part it attacked with. This attempt neither applies nor counts toward the creature's multiple attack penalty.

The monster can instead use Grab and choose one creature it's grabbing or restraining with an appendage that has Grab to automatically extend that condition to the end of the monster's next turn.


This large and powerful omnivore inhabits forested hills. While it typically sustains itself on nuts, berries, fish, and small mammals, it's fiercely territorial and will chase off or kill any creature it views as competition. Grizzly bears are especially temperamental when their young are nearby. In combat, a grizzly bear often attempts to grab and maul its foe with surprising ferocity. It continues its assault until its foe seems like it is no longer a threat, though if the bear is hungry, it will not hesitate to feed.


Bears are ferocious predators typically found in cold or temperate woodlands and hills. Many species of bear exist in addition to the two presented below, such as the smaller black bear or the arctic-dwelling polar bear.
