Special Abilities

Familiar: Alaric gains a +3 bonus on sight-based and opposed Perception checks in shadows or darkness.

Alertness (Ex): While Strix is within arm’s reach, Alaric gains the Alertness feat.

Improved Evasion (Ex): When subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, Strix takes no damage if he makes a successful saving throw and half damage even if the saving throw fails.

Share Spells: Alaric may cast a spell with a target of “You” on Strix (as a touch spell) instead of on himself. Alaric may cast spells on Strix even if the spells do not normally affect creatures of Strix’s type (magical beast).

Empathic Link (Su): Alaric has an empathic link with Strix to a 1 mile distance. Alaric can communicate empathically with Strix, but cannot see through Strix's eyes. Because of the link’s limited nature, only general emotions can be shared. Alaric has the same connection to an item or place that Strix does.
