===Combat===
Polar bears fight just as [[SRD:Brown Bear|brown bears]] do.

'''[[SRD:Improved Grab|Improved Grab]] ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' To use this ability, a polar bear must hit with a claw attack. It can then attempt to start a [[SRD:Grapple|grapple]] as a [[SRD:Free Actions|free action]] without provoking an [[SRD:Attacks of Opportunity|attack of opportunity]].

'''[[SRD:Skills (Creature Statistic)|Skills:]]''' A polar bear has a +8 racial bonus on any [[SRD:Swim Skill|Swim]] check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a [[SRD:Swim Skill|Swim]] check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line. *A polar bear’s white coat bestows a +12 racial bonus on [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]] checks in snowy areas.
