Advanced Maneuver Distracting Spray

The capybara sprays an adjacent target with its scent glands. The target must attempt a Fortitude save. Wiping off the musk takes an Interact action and ends the effect. This uses a trained DC using the capybara's Constitution modifier or an expert DC if the capybara is specialized.

Granted Abilities cantrip connection (guidance, mage hand), darkvision, touch telepathy

Created Magic Your ceru familiar grants you the mage hand and guidance cantrips via the cantrip connection granted ability. If one or more of these cantrips isn't on your spell list, you can replace the cantrip or cantrips not on your spell list with a cantrip or cantrips from your spell list instead.

If targeted with good fortune, the target rolls twice and uses the better result; this is a fortune effect. Regardless of outcome, targets are immune to Turn of Fate for one day. Success The target is unaffected.Failure The target rolls twice and uses the worse result.Critical Failure As failure, except the target is affected for the next three attempts.

Granted Abilities darkvision

Clockwork You need to keep your clockwork familiar wound, but the process isn't particularly onerous or time consuming. If you spend 1 minute winding up your clockwork familiar with a unique key only you can use, it can remain active for 24 hours, after which time it becomes unaware of its surroundings and can't act until it's wound again. Enemies can attempt to disable the clockwork familiar, with a standard DC for your level to Disable a Device, to reduce the remaining operational time by 1 hour (or 2 hours on a critical success). Certain other abilities that adversely affect technology might also reduce the clockwork familiar's remaining operational time. Some abilities, like Steam Screen, require your clockwork familiar to spend some of its remaining operational time. It can't spend more than it has and shuts down immediately once it has no time remaining. You can wind your clockwork familiar for 1 minute at any time to return it to the maximum 24 hours of operational time.

Constructed Your clockwork familiar is made of metal rather than flesh and bone, although it is still delicate enough in certain places to be vulnerable to violence in the same manner as a living creature. It is immune to bleed, death effects, disease, doomed, drained, fatigued, healing, necromancy, nonlethal attacks, paralyzed, poison, sickened, and unconscious. It can recover Hit Points only via the Repair action and other methods that fix items, not from any form of Hit Point healing. It's destroyed at 0 Hit Points.

Electricity Vulnerability The metal components of a clockwork familiar conduct electricity and are easily disrupted by an electric current. It gains weakness to electricity damage equal to your level.

Steam Screen [>] Frequency once per minute; Effect Your clockwork familiar blows a billowing plume of steam into its square around itself. It gains a +1 circumstance bonus to its Intimidation checks, and any creature in the familiar's square has concealment, though creatures in the square can't use this concealment to Hide or Sneak. The steam and its effects remain for 1 round. To use this ability, your clockwork familiar must spend 1 hour of operational time.

Toggle Standby Mode [>>] Your clockwork familiar enters standby mode. Its operational time doesn't decrease in standby, but it can sense its surroundings (with a –2 penalty to Perception). It can't act, with one exception: when you Command it to exit standby mode, it does so, by using this action again.

Lend a Hand The crawling hand assists an ally in the same space to attack a foe, crawling over the enemy and grabbing to distract them. Despite being a minion, it gains 1 reaction at the start of its turns, which it can use only to Aid an attack roll by an ally that shares the hand's space (it still has to prepare to help as normal for the Aid reaction). This attempt automatically succeeds. If the crawling hand has a similar ability, like partner in crime, it still gains only 1 reaction and can choose how to spend it.

Undead Your familiar is undead. It has negative healing and is immune to death effects, disease, poison, and unconscious. It's destroyed at 0 HP.

Special The crocodile can hold its breath for about 2 hours.

Support Benefit Your crocodile clamps its jaws on your foe, refusing to let go. Until the start of your next turn, if your Strike damages a creature in your crocodile's reach, your crocodile can latch onto the creature. While thus attached, the crocodile can move along with the target whenever the target moves until the end of your next turn. Your crocodile can latch onto only one creature in this way, and it must release the creature to make a jaws Strike. If the target is smaller than the crocodile, it takes a –10-foot circumstance penalty to its Speeds and can't Fly while the crocodile is latched on.

Advanced Maneuver Death Roll

Requirements The crocodile has a creature grabbed.

The crocodile tucks its legs and rolls rapidly, twisting its victim. It makes a jaws Strike with a +2 circumstance bonus to the attack roll against the grabbed creature. If it hits, it also knocks the creature prone. If it misses, it releases the creature.
