Description
These massive carnivores weigh more than 1,800 pounds and stand nearly 10 feet tall when they rear up on their hind legs. They are bad-tempered and territorial.
These long, lean carnivores are slightly taller than brown bears.
Combat
Polar bears fight just as brown bears do.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a polar bear must hit with a claw attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the bear.
Skills: A polar bear has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.
