Combat

Pounce (Ex) If a lion charges a foe, it can make a full attack, including two rake attacks.

Improved Grab (Ex) To use this ability, a lion must hit with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can rake.

Rake (Ex) Attack bonus +7 melee, damage 1d4+2.

Skills Lions have a +4 racial bonus on Balance, Hide, and Move Silently checks.

*In areas of tall grass or heavy undergrowth, the Hide bonus improves to +12.
