Trip (Ex)

A golden wolf that hits with a bite attack can attempt to trip the opponent (+1 check modifier) as a free action without making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the wolf.

Static (Su)

Any opponent who begins his turn flanked by a golden wolf takes 1d6 points of electrical damage per flanking wolf. Adjacent but not flanking wolves do not contribute to this. A successful reflex save (DC13) halves the damage. This save DC is constitution based.

Lightning Arc (Su)

As a standard action, a golden wolf can release a line of electricity from itself to any other golden wolf within 60 feet. Any creatures struck by the bolt takes 1d6 points of electrical damage. A successful reflex save (DC13) halves this damage. This save DC is constitution based.

Skills

Golden wolves have a +8 racial bonus to intimidate checks. Golden wolves have a +4 racial bonus on Survival checks when tracking by scent.

Tactics

Golden wolves can tell if their enemies are immune or resistant to electricity and will ignore them. As all wolves, they prefer easier targets, especially those that appear frail, weak, or are isolated or slow. They will gladly move into flanking positions, even if they will receive an attack of opportunity to do so.

Advancement

Preferred feats for an advanced golden wolf are combat reflexes, dodge and mobility (which require more dexterity than normal). Pack leaders will often have ability focus in static and/or lightning arc.
