Bonding Requirements

Some amount of Killer Instinct is required, as is fairly obvious from the bond failure message. It is certainly less than 101, the amount used in one case. Would not bond at 96.

Known Abilities

The leopard is a deadly feline predator that can be found in the frozen Northlands and Gardagh, and possibly other locations. It is large enough to ride, and is a fierce combatant with claws and teeth. It requires air to breathe, has a carnivorous diet and can see in the dark.

Petting the familiar

   You pet Kristal with your right hand.
   You sense deadly energies flowing from Kristal's body into your spirit.

This provides a temporary bonus to the skills Dagger, Crushing Resistance, Cutting Resistance, and Piercing Resistance. It also restores 1 spell point.

Svadhisthana Chakra

A leopard familiar automatically grants and charges the Svadhisthana (orange) chakra, which grants bonuses to Dexterity, Quickness, Pain Tolerance and Tenacity, as well as other effects. When fully charged, the Svadhisthana chakra grants the Paraneurism trait, which is a highly valuable trait indeed.

Bonuses using Daggers

The leopard consort is granted a large intrinsic bonus to accuracy and damage with any dagger weapon. This effect grows with the strength of the bond with the leopard. This is applied by using a much larger multiplier for the Killer Instinct skill when calculating accuracy and damage. These bonuses are applied to both wielded daggers and thrown daggers. Your familiar must be in your environment for this effect to be granted.

Attribute Modifications

Leopard familiars grant their consorts a large bonus to Dexterity, a moderate bonus to Strength, and small bonuses to Willpower and Charisma.

Specialty Bonuses

Bonus specialty degrees and access are provided as follows:

Tier 1

• Crushing Resistance
• Cutting Resistance
• Dagger
• Jungle Fieldcraft
• Piercing Resistance
• Stealth
• Killer Instinct

Tier 2

• Find Weakness
• Legerdemain
• Precision Strike

Tier 3

Towards the end of "very frail" bond strength:

• Throwing

Tier 4

Granted at "fairly healthy" bond strength:

• Fast Talk
• Tenacity

At "very healthy", the first tier bonus specialties are all increased to 2.

At "resilient", the second tier bonus specialties are all increased to 2.

Charms

Initially the leopard grants the following charms:

• Urge

Shortly after:

• Call Familiar
• Send Familar
• Kinsee

Additional Bonuses and Powers

Traits granted

Starting at "somewhat frail" bond strength, the leopard (like most feline familiars) grants its consort a Luck bonus, which scales with bond strength.

At "fairly healthy" bond strength, the Astral Perception trait is granted, and also scales.

Additionally, the Svadhisthana chakra will grant the Paraneurism trait when fully charged.
