Hyenas are pack hunters infamous for their cunning and their
unnerving vocalizations. The statistics presented here are for a
striped hyena, which is about 3 feet long and weighs about 120
pounds.
Combat
A favorite tactic is to send a few individuals against the foe’s front
while the rest of the pack circles and attacks from the flanks or
rear.
Solitary Hyenas like to hide and stalk their prey making sure they can get a jump on them.
Pairs of Hyenas like to send one in to distract while the other one hides and goes in for a flank.
Trip (Ex): A hyena that hits with its bite attack can attempt to
trip the opponent (+2 check modifier) as a free action without
making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity. If

creatures but nevertheless are sometimes used as mounts or beasts
of burden.

These herbivorous rodents thrive almost anywhere.
Combat
Bunnies usually run away. They bite only as a last resort.
Skills: Bunny have a +4 racial bonus on Hide and Move Silently
checks, and a +8 racial bonus on Balance, Climb, and Swim checks.
A bunny can always choose to take 10 on Climb checks, even if
rushed or threatened.
A bunny uses its Dexterity modifier instead of its Strength modifier
for Climb and Swim checks.
A bunny 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.

For People Who Do Not Know The Rules of Charging:

CHARGE
Charging is a special full-round action that allows you to move up to
twice your speed and attack during the action. However, it carries
tight restrictions on how you can move.
Movement During a Charge: You must move before your
attack, not after. You must move at least 10 feet (2 squares) and may
move up to double your speed directly toward the designated opponent.
You must have a clear path toward the opponent, and nothing
can hinder your movement (such as difficult terrain or obstacles).
Here’s what it means to have a clear path. First, you must move to
the closest space from which you can attack the opponent. (If this
space is occupied or otherwise blocked, you can’t charge.) Second, if
any line from your starting space to the ending space passes through
a square that blocks movement (such as a wall), slows movement
(such as difficult terrain), or contains a creature (even an ally), you
can’t charge. (Helpless creatures don’t stop a charge.)
If you don’t have line of sight to the opponent at the start of your
turn, you can’t charge that opponent.
You can’t take a 5-foot step in the same round as a charge.
If you are able to take only a standard action or a move action on
your turn, you can still charge, but you are only allowed to move up
to your speed (instead of up to double your speed). You can’t use this
option unless you are restricted to taking only a standard action or
move action on your turn (such as during a surprise round).
Attacking on a Charge: After moving, you may make a single
melee attack. Since you can use the momentum of the charge in
your favor, you get a +2 bonus on the attack roll. Since a charge is a
bit reckless, you also take a –2 penalty to your AC until the start of
your next turn.
A charging character gets a +2 bonus on the Strength check
made to bull rush an opponent (see Bull Rush, above).
Even if you have extra attacks, such as from having a high enough
base attack bonus or from using multiple weapons, you only get to
make one attack during a charge.
Lances and Charge Attacks: A lance deals double damage if
employed by a mounted character in a charge.
Weapons Readied against a Charge: Spears, tridents, and certain
other piercing weapons deal double damage when readied (set)
and used against a charging character (see Table 7–5: Weapons, page
116, and Ready, page 160).
