    Positive Energy Aura: A vivacious dire tiger emanates an aura of positive energy, which harms nearby undead and heals the living. Any living creature within 4 yards of a vivacious dire tiger gains the Regeneration (Regular) advantage (p. B80). If the creature leaves the aura’s area, the effects linger for margin of failure seconds. Undead creatures within 4 yards of a vivacious dire tiger instead take 1 point of non-incendiary burning damage per second, regardless of DR.
    Positive Energy Ray: A vivacious dire tiger can emit a positive energy ray every five seconds. This is a ranged attack (Acc 3, Range 10/100). It deals 1d non-incendiary burning damage to undead creatures. If it hits a living creature, the vivacious dire tiger may make an IQ roll to heal the creature 4 HP. Roll at -2 if the subject is unconscious. If used more than once per day on a given subject, apply a cumulative -3 per successful healing on that subject. This penalty accumulates until a full day has passed since the most recent healing. This ability costs 2 FP to use.
