Adaptive Resistance (Ex): Any time a thane takes damage from a spell or effect that deals energy damage, the thane gains resistance 10 against subsequent attacks involving the same energy type. This resistance lasts for one day.
Adrenaline Boost (Ex): A thane can take an extra move or attack action once during a round. A thane can use this ability a number of times per day equal to its Constitution bonus (9 for an average thane).
Antimagic Field (Su): Once per day as a free action, thane can create an antimagic field around itself. The field is always centered on the thane and has a 5-foot radius. The field lasts for a number of rounds equal to the thane's Constitution bonus (9 for an average thane).
Resist Blows (Ex): Sarkrith thanes treat all damage dealt by bludgeoning weapons as subdual damage.
Mask Scent (Ex): Once per day, a sarkrith can mask its scent, which prevents it from being detected with the scent ability. This ability lasts for 1 hour.
Scent (Ex): A sarkrith can detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell.
Brutal and efficient in combat, sarkrith thanes use size and numbers to crush smaller foes. Unless an adept orders otherwise, thanes pick one foe (usually the closest) and concentrate their attacks until that foe is down; then they move to the next foe. This simple tactic makes them predictable, if dangerous, adversaries.
