Bardic Lore
Sphinxes are naturally curious, and their love of puzzles and mysteries leads them to gather information on a broad range of topics. Sphinxes have Bardic Lore, a special Lore skill that can be used only to Recall Knowledge, but on any topic.
Constant Spells
Claw Rake
The sphinx rears back on their hind legs and makes two claw Strikes at the same target, using the same attack bonus as their highest melee attack. If both attacks deal damage, the target takes extra damage equal to one claw Strike.
Pounce
The sphinx Strides and makes a Strike at the end of that movement. If the sphinx began this action , they remain hidden until after the attack.
Riddler's Rune
Once per week, a Sphinx can create a magical symbol as the ritual. The sphinx usually shapes it to take the form of a written riddle and sets the password to the answer.
A creature that gives the wrong answer or tries to pass without answering must succeed at a save or be affected by one of the following spells, chosen by the sphinx when creating the symbol: (5th), (4th), (4th), (4th), (4th). The sphinx learns the identity of any creature that answers the riddle and tends to be friendly to them if they answered correctly.
