These large felines are white in color with flecks of green and blue mixed within, and their eyes are a milky white. These majestic creatures carry the divine favor of Sehanie Moonbow in their steps. Just as she is the daughter of the Night Skies, so too are the Cath Shee?s the guardians of her favor. Typically they are confused with snow leopards or lynx.

The Cath Shee is very intelligent and will often attempt to reason with anyone of good alignment. However if you are evil the creature will go to great lengths in order to alert friends of their presence. Typically found gathered near Elven places of worship or ruins that have long since fallen into disrepair. The Cath Shee are guardians that seek to preserve and defend the Elven race. Sehaine Moonbow?s tears gave birth to the elven race, and her heart gave birth to the Cath Shee.

Combat:

Cath Shee often hunt in packs, blinking and stalking their prey until they surround them, allowing some to take advantage of flanking.

Blink (Su): A Cath Shee can use blink as the spell (caster level 7th), and can evoke or end the effect as a free action.

Invisibility, Greater (Su): Cath Shee can invisibility, greater as the spell (caster level 7th ) can evoke this spell as a free action.

As a Familiar:

If the master?s heart should conflict with that of the Cath Shee it may unbind itself from the ritual and leave to find a new master.

Bonuses to Creature for being a Familiar:

Pathfinder Familiar Rules

Master Level / Natural Armor Bonus / Intelligence / Special
1-2    +1  /  6    / Alertness, Improved Evasion, Shared Spells, Empathic Link
3-4    +2  /  7    / Deliver Touch Spells
5-6    +3  /  8    / Speak with Master
7-8    +4  /  9    / Speak with animals of its kind
9-10  +5  /  10  /

Natural Armor Adj.: The number noted here is in addition to the familiar's existing natural armor bonus.

Int: The familiar's Intelligence score.

Alertness (Ex): While a familiar is within arm's reach, the master gains the Alertness feat.

Improved Evasion (Ex): When subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, a familiar takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw and half damage even if the saving throw fails.

Share Spells: The wizard may cast a spell with a target of "You" on his familiar (as a touch spell) instead of on himself. A wizard may cast spells on his familiar even if the spells do not normally affect creatures of the familiar's type (magical beast).

Empathic Link (Su): The master has an empathic link with his familiar to a 1 mile distance. The master can communicate empathically with the familiar, but cannot see through its eyes. Because of the link's limited nature, only general emotions can be shared. The master has the same connection to an item or place that his familiar does.

Deliver Touch Spells (Su): If the master is 3rd level or higher, a familiar can deliver touch spells for him. If the master and the familiar are in contact at the time the master casts a touch spell, he can designate his familiar as the "toucher." The familiar can then deliver the touch spell just as the master would. As usual, if the master casts another spell before the touch is delivered, the touch spell dissipates.

Speak with Master (Ex): If the master is 5th level or higher, a familiar and the master can communicate verbally as if they were using a common language. Other creatures do not understand the communication without magical help.

Speak with Animals of Its Kind (Ex): If the master is 7th level or higher, a familiar can communicate with animals of approximately the same kind as itself (including dire varieties): bats with bats, cats with felines, hawks and owls and ravens with birds, lizards and snakes with reptiles, monkeys with other simians, rats with rodents, toads with amphibians, and weasels with ermines and minks. Such communication is limited by the Intelligence of the conversing creatures.

Spell Resistance (Ex): If the master is 11th level or higher, a familiar gains spell resistance equal to the master's level + 5. To affect the familiar with a spell, another spellcaster must get a result on a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) that equals or exceeds the familiar's spell resistance.

Scry on Familiar (Sp): If the master is 13th level or higher, he may scry on his familiar (as if casting the scrying spell) once per day.
