Knowing Your Own Strength [665] Replace ST+9 (No Fine Manipulators, -40%; Size Modifier, -20%) [36] with ST+9 [90]

Typical Stats

ST:	19	HP:	17	Speed:	6.25
DX:	13	Will:	16	Move:	2 ground, 12 air (cannot hover)
IQ:	14	Per:	14
HT:	12	FP:	12	SM:	+2
Dodge:	9	Parry:	10 (unarmed)	DR:	4*

    Sharp Claws (18): thrust 2d cutting (KYOS: 3d+1 cutting), Reach C.
    Sharp Beak (18): thrust 2d large piercing (KYOS: 3d+1 large piercing), Reach C.
    Plane Shift (14): The phoenix can transport itself to the Ethereal Plane, Material Plane, and the Astral Plane as if using the Jumper advantage (p. B64).
    Shriek: When a creature hears the shriek of a phoenix, it must roll a Fright Check. If a victim succeeds at his Fright Check, he will be unaffected by this ability for one hour.
    Immolation: When it knows that death is near, a phoenix immolates itself. This kills the phoenix and creates a 8-yard-radius area of fire around it that deals 8d(2) burning damage each second for 10 seconds. After these 10 seconds have passed, the phoenix rises from the dead, fully grown and unharmed. The phoenix typically has only one such “extra life”, but it usually spends the character points it gains after resurrection to buy the Extra Life part of the ability back.
