Notes

  • The in-game tooltip says the damage dealt is Damage TypesPiercing, but it actually is Damage TypesBludgeoning.
  • The range is equal to the normal Jump Jump range which with the panther's Strength of 14 is 6.5 m / 22 ft. Any modifiers that affect jump range also apply to Pounce.
  • Unlike a normal jump, the movement cost of Pounce is equal to the distance traveled. With jump range bonuses like Enhance Leap Enhance Leap, the range of Pounce will be limited by your movement speed.
  • Also, unlike similar wild shape pounce abilities such as Pounce (Dilophosaurus) Pounce (Dilophosaurus) or Crushing Flight Crushing Flight, the panther's pounce requires a full Action.
  • Pounce does not count as an attack for the purposes of Wild Strike Wild Strike and Improved Wild Strike Improved Wild Strike so you cannot pounce and attack with the same Action.
