View source for Quantum Cat (3.5e Monster)

=== Combat ===

Like normal [[SRD:Cat|cats]], quantum cats prefer to sneak up on their prey.  Their difficulty in being targeted ensues their survival in the rare event they pick on something bigger than them.


'''Decay {{Su}}:'''  The danger of quantum cats is not the power of their claws, but the supernatural disease they carry known as particle decay, or simply decay.  Their wounds causes matter to become unstable and fall apart, dealing an extra 3d6 points of damage.  This extra damage bypasses all damage reduction and resistances, but immunity to supernatural diseases stops it.

'''Half-Dead {{Ex}}:'''  The quantum cat is both alive and dead at the same time.  It counts as either being alive or undead whenever it is most beneficial to it.  In addition, it uses d12s for HD, though it still retains its [[constitution]] to its hp.  If the quantum cat is killed, there is a 50% chance it will respawn in 1d10 minutes or until nobody is observing the remains, whichever comes first.

'''Out of Sight Out of Mind {{Ex}}:'''  Lose track of a quantum cat and it might not really be there.  Quantum cats have Hide in Plain Sight in any shadows, like a [[SRD:Shadowdancer|shadowdancer]].  If a quantum cat remains hidden for at least 3 rounds, then at the end of its third round it can choose not to be there at all.  Where did the quantum cat go?  No one is certain, but it manages to duplicate the effect of ''[[SRD:Teleport|teleport]]'' (self only) whenever it does, though it can only teleport to another location which is currently not being observed.

'''Quantum Creature {{Ex}}:'''  The quantum cat is only half there.  Quantum Cats benefit from a 50% miss chance as if under ''[[SRD:Blink|blink]]'', which applies to both physical and magical attacks.  Force effects hit it normally, but it is not blinking on any known plane and has no special benefits or weaknesses against ethereal creatures.  It does not suffer a miss chance on its own attacks.

'''[[SRD:Skills (Creature Statistic)|Skills:]]''' Quantum Cats have a +4 racial bonus on [[SRD:Climb Skill|Climb]], [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]], and [[SRD:Move Silently Skill|Move Silently]] checks and a +8 racial bonus on [[SRD:Jump Skill|Jump]] checks.  Quantum Cats have a +8 racial bonus on [[SRD:Balance Skill|Balance]] checks. They use their [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] modifier instead of their [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] modifier for [[SRD:Climb Skill|Climb]] and [[SRD:Jump Skill|Jump]] checks. *In areas of tall grass or heavy undergrowth, the [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]] bonus rises to +8.
