===Combat===

Grimlocks are [[SRD:Blinded|blind]], but their exceptional senses of smell and hearing allow them to notice foes nearby. As a result, they usually shun ranged weapons and rush to the attack, brandishing their stone [[SRD:Battleaxe|Battleaxe]]s.

'''[[SRD:Blindsight and Blindsense#Blindsight (Ex)|Blindsight]] ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' Grimlocks can sense all foes within 40 feet as a sighted creature would. Beyond that range, they treat all targets as having [[SRD:Concealment|total concealment]].  

Grimlocks are susceptible to sound- and scent-based attacks, however, and are affected normally by loud noises and sonic spells (such as ''[[SRD:Ghost Sound|ghost sound]]'' or ''[[SRD:Silence|silence]]'') and overpowering odors (such as ''[[SRD:Stinking Cloud|stinking cloud]]'' or incense-heavy air). Negating a grimlock’s sense of smell or hearing reduces this ability to normal [[SRD:Blind-Fight|Blind Fight]] (as the [[SRD:Feats|feat]]). If both these senses are negated, a grimlock is effectively [[SRD:Blinded|blinded]].  

'''Immunities:''' Grimlocks are immune to [[SRD:Gaze|gaze]] attacks, visual effects, illusions, and other attack forms that rely on sight.

'''[[SRD:Skills (Creature Statistic)|Skills:]]''' *A grimlock’s dull gray skin helps it hide in its native terrain, conferring a +10 racial bonus on [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]] checks when in mountains or underground.
