=== Combat ===

Nec'haan are crafty hunters, usually employing tactics similar to those of hyena packs. Against more powerful opponents they are cautious (but fearless), rushing in and biting, then retreating to allow their necrotic bites to take their toll.

'''{{Anchor|Necrotic Bite}} ([[Su]]):''' Nec'haan saliva have acidic and necromantic properties that break down rotting flesh that the nec'haan can more easily digest their fetid diet. A nec'haan's bite deals 1d6 points of acid damage to undead or dead flesh. However, this enzyme is also harmful to living tissue: Bites from a nec'haan do not heal naturally and must be cured with magic. Further, living creatures bitten may also contract a magical rotting disease: Nec'haan's breath—injury, 1 day, DC 15, 1d3 Con. (The save is Constitution-based.)

'''{{Anchor|Trip}} ([[Ex]]):''' A nec'haan that hits with its bite attack can attempt to trip the opponent (+7 check modifier) as a free action without making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the target cannot react to trip the nec'haan.

'''{{Anchor|Immunities}} ([[Ex]]):''' Nec'haan are immune to disease, fear, paralysis, ability damage, and ability or energy drain. Skills: *Due to their greenish-brown colorization, nec'haan have a +4 racial bonus on Hide checks in forests. When tracking by scent, they have a +4 racial bonus on Survival checks.
