Combat Behavior: lone swampreeks rarely attack human-sized targets, but in groups they spur one another on. At first they throw rocks and make mock assaults. Then, after 1D6+1 CR, they attack in close combat.
Escape: Loss of 50% of the LP or two levels of the condition Pain. When half of a pack of swampreeks perishes or flees, the rest flee as well.
Animal Lore (Monsters)
- QL 1: A single swampreek is cowardly and escapes when near humans (competitive check of Intimidation vs. Willpower). In packs, they are much braver and pose a more serious threat to travelers.
- QL 2: Swampreeks make mock attacks to distract their opponents.
- QL 3+: Legends tell of humans that were turned into swampreeks. If you prick yourself on the thorns of a morningthorn bush, you quickly turn into a swampreek.
Special Rules
Pack: Swampreeks that attack the same opponent receive +1 AT (no more than +4 AT) per swampreek after the first.
Mock Assault: swampreeks making mock assaults must make a competitive check using Intimidation vs. Willpower (Resist Intimidation). If successful, their opponents suffer a level of Confusion that lasts 1D6 CR. The GM makes one check for the entire swampreek pack, but heroes must attempt to resist individually.
