These wild cats are about 2-3 feet long and weigh about 25 pounds. They usually hunt at night. The statistics presented here can describe any of a large number of felines of similar size, such as a bobcat, desert cat, ocelot, or jungle cat.
As an option, lynxes can be summoned using the summon nature's ally I spell.
Combat
Improved Grab (Ex)
To use this ability, a lynx must hit with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can rake.
Pounce (Ex)
If a lynx charges a foe, it can make a full attack, including two rake attacks.
Rake (Ex)
Attack bonus +3 melee, damage 1d2.
Skills
Lynxes have a +8 racial bonus on Jump checks and a +4 racial bonus on Hide and Move Silently checks. Lynxes have a +8 racial bonus on Balance and Climb checks. A lynx can always choose to take 10 on a Climb check, even if rushed or threatened.
*In areas of tall grass or heavy undergrowth, the Hide bonus improves to +8.
