♦ ...
♦ They are considered to be Huge sized, their size-rating is 4.

Traits

Passive: Enhanced Trample

Loxodons are notoriously brutal when it comes to trampling their foes, either in the process of getting past them or purposefully crushing them beneath their feet. They're so good at it in fact that sometimes smaller allies end roughed up in the process.

♦ Benefit: Loxodons can cause foes one size category smaller than themselves to be knocked away during movement, this inflicts damage equal to their unarmed strike and has a 50% chance to cause knockdown.
♦ Benefit: If the target is two size categories smaller or less: Their Stomp attack command gains a x2 bonus in damage and accuracy, this can leave the target knocked prone and pinned.
♦ Drawback: During movement, Loxdons cannot safely discriminate between friend and foe, as such, movement through allied squares will be affected as if they were an enemy.

Passive: Heat Resistance

Loxodons are used to living in hot, arid areas, they possess some degree of hot temperature resistance.

♦ Loxodons resist Fire attack damage by 20%. Effects that cause the 'Burn' effect are negated, 'Ignites effect is reduced by 20%.
♦ Loxodons resist one stage of hot-temperature effects and thus do not suffer negative effects for Tier 2 Hot temperatures (Desert Daylight), they still suffer reduced penalties for Tier 3 Hot temperatures (Active Volcano).

Ability: Hunter's Knack

All Loxodon have a knack for studying and adapting to their prey, as such, creatures types they have encountered and memorized before can be easier for them to deal with, both hunting and self-defence.

♦ Loxodon can memorize up to 1 + INT creature-types. When a Samoan's Intelligence increases by 1, they get to pick a new creature-type to memorize for this ability.

When in combat with a creature matching a memorized creature-type:
♦ Loxodon gain a +50 ToHit bonus to their attacks against creature-type,
♦ A +0.5 bonus to Defense and Evasion against creature-type.

The list of creature-types a Samoan can memorize is:
♦ Humanoid
♦ Xeno
♦ Goblinoid
♦ True-Giant
♦ Supernatural
♦ Demonoid
♦ Reptile
♦ Mechanical
♦ Non-Giant (Creatures smaller than a Samoan, half-bonus)
♦ Giant (Creatures equal or bigger than a Samoan, half-bonus)

(If a creature has multiple types, only the highest bonus counts, types do not stack)

Hunter's Knack: Skill Perks

For each Skill Rank in Potential, a Loxodon can select a new Skill Perk that applies to the Hunter's Knack ability. Once Potential is at Master (100) rank, Hunter's Knack skill perks can be obtained by spending perk points.

♦ Spacing: Against a memorized creature-type: this Loxodon gains a 40% discount to AP actions used in reaction to a memorized foe targeting them.

♦ Preparation: Against a memorized creature-type: this Loxodon gains a 20% discount to AP actions when acting on their turn, only when the Samoan is targeting their memorized foe.

♦ Height Advantage: Against a memorized creature-type that is at least one size category smaller than the Samoan itself: This Samoan's Loxodon and evasion bonus is doubled.

♦ Deadly Strike: Against a memorized creature-type: This Loxodon gains a base +2 damage increase to their weapon/attack damage multiplied by (1 + their INT score).

♦ Follow-Through: Against a memorized creature-type: This Loxodon gains 40% of their AP spent on an action when they successfully execute an action (an attack hits, an effect triggers).
