Known Abilities

Superbly adapted to urban environments, the giant rodent is a cunning opportunist and flexible survivor. It is a surprisingly tough opponent, attacking with claws and teeth. It has a scavenger diet, breathes air, and can see in the dark.

Attribute Modifications

The giant rodent grants its consort a very large bonus in intelligence, a large bonus in dexterity, and moderate bonuses in willpower and perception.

Combat Bonuses

The consort is granted a bonus to attack and damage ratings even when the terrain is not urban, and when in an urban environment, the bonus is much larger. This bonus is applied by using a larger portion of the consort's Intelligence attribute and the Streetwise skill. Your familiar must be present in your environment to obtain this effect.
