Trigger The dweomercat is targeted by a spell or is within the area of a spell as it's cast


Effect The dweomercat's runelike patterns start to glow as it gains an effect related to the tradition of the triggering spell. This effect occurs before the dweomercat is affected by the triggering spell. The effect lasts for 1 minute, until the dweomercat uses this ability again, or until the dweomercat Dismisses the effect, whichever comes first.

Effect: Alter Dweomer

Dweomer Leap Two Actions (arcane, teleportation)

Prerequisites The dweomercat has at least one Translocate spell remaining


Effect The dweomercat casts translocate, then can make a melee Strike against one creature adjacent to it at the end of its teleport. If the dweomercat ends its teleport adjacent to a creature under an ongoing spell effect or who cast a spell since the dweomercat's last turn, this does not expend a casting of translocate.

Pounce One Action

The dweomercat Strides and makes a Strike at the end of that movement. If the dweomercat began this action Hidden, it remains hidden until after this ability's Strike.

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.

Dweomercats are magically gifted, four-eyed felines from the First World, where they prey upon other creatures and feed on their primal energy. Within the First World, they form packs that hunt together, though they prefer to care for their cubs on their own, raising them on a diet of magic and magical creatures. Curious creatures, they're sometimes encountered in areas of the Universe where the veil to the First World is thin or in regions where magic has been irreparably warped. Drawn there by the unique magical resonance, the dweomercats hope to acquire incomparable sources of food.

Where dweomercats sighting have been reported, specialized trappers will appear soon after, hoping for the catch of a lifetime. A dweomercat's dark purple fur is prized by magical collectors, as the patterns that flow through the fur appear as though they were hand-painted, with spirals and curls resembling magical runes. These coats are then either displayed or included as components in rare rituals. Dweomercats are famous for their ability to twist the metaphorical strings of spells cast on or near them, which they can transform into their own defensive magic or use to instantly teleport across the battlefield.
