Repletion (Su) A buccaboo can sustain his body without need of food or water. If he spends 1 power point or expends a use of one of his daily powers, a buccaboo does not need to eat or drink for 24 hours. Stalker (Ex) Perception and Stealth are always class skills for buccaboos. The buccaboo is the psionic cousin to the bugbear, largest of the psionic goblinoid races, a towering monster that stands at least a head taller than most humans. Some rare bugbears also have a smattering of psionic power. These deadly creatures are the epitome of goblinoid murderers, able to lay in wait for days as they stalk their prey. Their powers give them an unprecedented talent for stealth and infiltration, able to launch ambushes that seem to come from nowhere and never be caught unprepared for conflict. These lone monsters are renowned for their ability to operate independently of other goblinoids, stalking and feeding off prey as they use fear to perpetuate their feeding cycle. Unlike most goblinoids, they are partial to slowly driving a community into depths of terror over the course of months before they eventually kill everyone involved. A typical buccaboo stands nearly 7 feet in height and weighs 400 pounds. Adam Pratter |
