A small, wiry figure darts between the legs of combatants, poking dangerous looking spikes toward its foes.
Barely 2 feet tall, a persistent harrier is designed to be in the middle of combat, distracting opponents or setting up flanking opportunities.
Combat
A persistent harrier will move around into flanking position, taking a 5-foot step or using the Tumble skill where appropriate. If it does not attack, it can be directed to use the aid another action to provide an Armor Class or attack roll boost.
Sneak Attack (Ex): A persistent harrier deals an extra 1d6 points of damage when it is flanking an opponent or at any time when the target would be denied its Dexterity bonus. See the rogue class feature, page 50 of the Player's Handbook.
Construction
A persistent harrier is crafted from leather, metal, clay, and a pint of the creator's blood. The materials cost 50 gp. Creating the body requires a DC 14 Craft (sculpting) check.
A persistent harrier with more than 1 Hit Die can be created, but each additional Hit Die adds 2,000 gp to the cost to create.
