Its body is covered with fur that varies in color from light gold to red to golden-brown. The hair grows thick and long on its forearms, back, and lower legs but thin and fine on its torso and face. Its face, which has a pronounced muzzle and high-set ears, bears a kind expression.* <div class="grid-container"><div class="MON">Ursinal</div> <div class="CR">CR 10 (9,600 XP)</div> <div class="SOU">Book of Exalted Deeds pg. 174</div> <div class="SYS">Dungeons & Dragons 3.5</div></div> NG Large Outsider (good, agathion) **Init** +2 **Perception** +16 #### defense **AC** 24, 11 touch, 22 flat-footed (+2 Dex, +13 natural, -1 size) **hp** 80 (10d10+30) **Fort** +6, **Refl** +9, **Will** +10; +4 vs. poison **Feint** 26, **Demoralize** 23 **Defensive Abilities** uncanny dodge **DR** 10/evil or silver; **SR** 21 **Immune** electricity, petrification; **Resist** acid 10, cold 10 #### offense **Speed** 30 ft. **Melee** 2 claws +13 (1d6+4 plus grab), bite +13 (1d8+4) **Space** 10 ft., **Reach** 10 ft. **Special Attacks** **Spell-Like Ability** > **Constant**—_speak with animals_ > **At will**—_aid_, _daylight_, _deep slumber_ (DC 17), _detect evil_, _detect magic_, _detect thoughts_ (DC 16), _dimension door_, _dispel magic_, _hold monster_ (DC 19), _magic circle against evil_ (self only), _magic missile_, _polymorph_, _see invisibility_, _solid fog_ > **3/day**—_heal_ (DC 20), _neutralize poison_, _remove disease_ > **1/day**—_holy word_ (DC 21) **Wizard Spells Preparred** (CL 12th; Save DC 14 + spell level; Enchantment save DC 15 + spell level) > **0—**_daze_, _detect poison_, _flare_, _light_ > **1st—**_charm person_, _color spray_, _eyes of the avoral_, _feather fall_, _hypnotism_ > **2nd—** _glitterdust_, _invisibility_, _locate object_, _touch of idiocy_, _yoke of mercy_ > **3rd—**_clairaudience/clairvoyance_, _daylight_, _elation_, _healing touch_, _suggestion_ > **4th—**_celestial brilliance_, _confusion_, _radiant fog_, _scrying_ > **5th—**_dismissal_, purified _wall of fire_, _teleport_ > **6th—** _mass suggestion_, _wages of sin_ #### statistics **Str** 19, **Dex** 14, **Con** 17, **Int** 18, **Wis** 17, **Cha** 18 **BAB** +10, **CMB** +15, **CMD** 27, **TA** +13, **RTA** +11 **Feats** [[Combat Casting]], [[Purify Spell]], [[Spell Focus]] (Enchantment), [[Spell Penetration]] **Skills** Diplomacy +14, Heal +13, Intimidate +14, Knowledge (arcana) +14, Knowledge (planes) +17, Knowledge (religion) +14, Perception +16, Sense Motive +16, Spellcraft +14, Survival +13 **Languages** Abyssal, Celestial, Common, Draconic, Infernal, truespeech **SQ** lay on hands (5d6, 8/day as 10th-level paladin) #### special abilities ### Spells An ursinal casts spells as a 12th-level wizard. They favor Divination and Enchantment spells, as well as those that mislead or confuse opponents rather than deal damage. ### Uncanny Dodge (Ex) This ability functions as the rogue class feature of the same name. #### ecology **Advancement** 11–15 HD (Large); 16–30 HD (Huge) **Environment** Blessed Fields of Elysium **Organization** Solitary or pair **Treasure** No coins; double goods; standard items Ursinals are the scholars and philosophers of the guardinals, benevolent and wise. They serve as advisors to the leonals and record-keepers of Elysium. They enjoy sharing their knowledge, often at great length with endless digressions. Ursinals stand just over 8 feet tall and weigh close to 700 pounds. ### Combat Ursinals dislike combat and avoid physical confrontations as long as possible. They are as fierce once they enter melee as any dire bear, but they prefer to use their spell ability to break off combat before it gets started. An ursinal’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as having the good alignment for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
