Abilities
Aura of Smoke — 10 feet. Every creature within the aura is Concealed; smoldering leopards can see through this concealment.
Pounce — The smoldering leopard Strides and makes a Strike at the end of that movement. If the leopard began this action Hidden, it remains hidden until after making this ability's Strike.
Scorching Maul — The smoldering leopard makes two claw Strikes against a creature it has Grabbed. A creature hit by both claw Strikes also takes 1d4 persistent fire damage. Both attacks count toward its multiple attack penalty, but the penalty increases only after both attacks are made.
Sneak Attack — The smoldering leopard deals an extra 1d4 precision damage to Off-Guard creatures.
WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLANDA front-liner holds enemy attention so this ambush predator can pounce into a flank from concealment rather than being focused down.
SnareLAND / VERTICALA controller that keeps a target Grabbed sets up this predator's follow-up claw damage.
ShadeLAND / VERTICALA second stealthy striker compounds the Off-Guard condition the smoke concealment already creates.
PUNISHES
✖ ranged reliance✖ isolated PCs✖ standing still
Avoid pairing with another ambush-focused Flanker; both want the same first-strike opening and only one profits from it.
