This hulking humanoid combines the features of a human and a rhinoceros. Gleaming armor covers its leathery, pale-gray hide, and a great black horn juts from the middle of its forehead. Clutching a wicked hal- berd, it fixes its beady black eyes on you, as if to discern your intentions.

Combat

Highly organized and well coordinated, rheks charge into battle with their horns lowered. Once in melee, they wade through the enemy, swinging their halberds and using their Power Attack and Resounding Blow feats.

Powerful Charge (Ex): A rhek typically begins a battle by charging at an opponent, lowering its head to bring its mighty horn into play. In addition to the normal benefits and hazards of a charge, this allows the rhek to make a single gore attack that deals double damage (2d8+8 points).

Smite Chaos (Su): Three times per day, the rhek can make a normal attack with a +2 bonus that deals an additional 5 points of damage against a chaotic foe.

Detect Chaos (Sp): A rhek can detect chaos three times per day, as the spell cast by a 5th-level cleric.

Instant Stability (Su): Rheks have redundant inter- nal organs and rapidly congealing blood. They automatically stabilize when reduced to —1 to —9 hp; however, they still die when reduced to —10 hp.
