Apr 24, 2017 at 18:53 comment added ShadowKras There are lot of creatures that have abilities called out as "special qualities" that are supernatural or even spell-like abilities. To name a few: Zombies, skeletons, graveknight, adherer, animated objects, some kaiju, dire corby, boreal creature template, tsukugami, phoenix. And im only on page 2/10 of my search. Am i missing something about this answer? I did search for "special quality" under the bestiaries.

Apr 23, 2017 at 19:26 comment added Sandwich It appears Special qualities mostly have to do with creature-specific methods of movement, states of being, or abilities granted by anatomical differences, for lack of a better term. The only one above that falls outside the norm of being (Ex) is Change Shape(Su) which is specific to doppelgangers and their unique anatomy.

Apr 23, 2017 at 19:16 comment added Sandwich Hold on, some are listed as "Special qualities" and I was using Ctrl+F to find "Special Quality" so I have to add to the list, sec.
