| Slap** | 25 | 1D3+db |

\* Bears can attack twice in a round, using either two separate claw attacks or one claw and one bite attack.

\*\* The bear can make one slap attack per round, matching the bear's damage done versus the target's STR on the resistance table. Failure means the target is knocked prone. They can parry at half skill rating while prone.
