Skath Cat

Skath Cat is a melee creature in Dungeon Siege II and Broken World.

Back to the bestiary

Template name: skath_cat_stats

The Skath Cat is a particular breed of desert cat frequently found in the company of Skath. To say the Skath have 'domesticated' them would be untrue, as they are still wild, bloodthirsty beasts, but they do follow the Skath's commands, most of the time.

The chance is for one kill of this creature (level 15 / 45 / 68 in Mercenary / Veteran / Elite) with magic find at 0: the chance that its drop table rolls an item of this kind, times this item’s share of the items that can come out at that level. Items with the same name are added up. Creatures of the same kind that the Bestiary lists under other names share the same drop table at their own level. Computed from the game’s drop tables, not measured. A source rolls the entries of its drop table; an entry asks the game’s item table for one item of the right class inside a level window; every matching item is equally likely (the game picks a random row, there is no rarity weight). Chance is per kill or per opening, with magic find at 0.
