Background, I'm trying to make a type of skinwalker based on generalized predators rather than any one specific one. To that end, this is what I have so far.
+2 Wis, -2 Int, (+2 Str)
+2 Survival, +2 Intimidate
-Scent 30 ft
-Darkvision 60 ft
-2 Claw attacks (1d4)
-"Frightful Howl"
Frightful Howl is what has me stuck. I noticed that some of the other skinwalkers give really powerful abilities, such as werewolf-kins +2 to all saves (3 feats), and weretiger-kin's See in Darkness.
Mechanically, I want it to be something like Dazzling Display, but that has a much larger range and works via sound. So if it was in an urban environment, at the dead of night, at a high point, those races that have the highest perceptions would the ones be spooked or shaken by it. But I'm lost in specifics. Any help?
Give them cause fear as their spell-like ability?
I forget they get SLAs, thank you.
But I would still like help making this howl thing >_>
A PRD-search for 'howl' should provide you with enough examples for interesting abilities to find something that is to your liking. The howling helm is quiet flavorful, for example.
