Strategies and Tactics
Dire ostriches are really fast runners. When they feel threatened, they will either run away at really fast speeds, or, if they are defending a nest or otherwise in a bad mood, they will charge an enemy, using their deadly dropkick. They will continue running past their enemy, dropkicking them to the ground until they have killed it or they feel that the enemy is fleeing and won't return. Of course, with an intelligence score of 1, they aren't always smart enough to make the right decision.
For Player Characters
Druids and Rangers may take a dire ostrich as an animal companion with an effective level adjustment of -8.
