Special Abilities:

• Cerves are extremely difficult to surprise. They can only be surprised on a roll of 1 in 6. In addition, cerves braves have a 1-3 in 6 chance of being able to move (but not attack or take any other actions) even if they are surprised, rolling initiative as normal during this round.
• Fleet of foot. Cerves are significantly faster than humans. They are treated as if they have both the Endurance and Running proficiencies. Plains-bred cerves do not ride mounts, but can learn, requiring the Riding Proficiency.
• Cerves are considered to have the following skills as a thief of an equivalent level: Hear Noise, Hide in Shadows and Move Silently.
• Creatures of the great plains and rolling steppes, cerves become claustrophobic when underground or within stone walls, suffering a -1 to all to rolls, a -1 modifier to AC and a -1 penalty to all rolls requiring concentration.
• Cerves start with the Adventuring proficiency, but it modified for an existence on the open plains. They can set simple snares, track game, etc. while in a natural environment.

XP costs for custom classes double at each level up to 8th, roughly (except for 7th, which gets rounded to the nearest 5,000 XP).
