Agile Creature

Agile Creature Pattern (+3 CR)

Subtype: add Agile to subtypes

'Agile Creature' is a pattern that can be added to any creature to represent things that are really, genuinely, quick. Agile creatures are very capable combatants, and can represent highly talented and martially skilled monsters, such as that lean, sinister henchman for the Big Bad, tribes of mystic gnoll-monks, or nearly untouchable air elementals.

This creature seems extremely quick with its hands, and highly capable.

Special Abilities

Incredible Avoidance (Ex; Agile Creature Pattern)

Any time an Agile Creature succeeds on a Reflex saving throw, where succeeding would inflict a lesser effect, they instead take no effect.

Flickering Step (Ex; Agile Creature Pattern)

Once per encounter, an Agile Creature may make a full attack action as a standard action and take a five-foot step either before or after every attack it makes. As part of Flickering Step, it may choose one of its attacks and make it one additional time. This may be used with either melee or ranged attacks. It may never take more than six five-foot steps by using Flickering Step. This may exceed its normal maximum movement (such as if it is Slowed).
