Polar bears, also known as mountain bears, are uncommon animals mostly found roaming the northern reaches of Faerûn. They typically travel alone and are particularly aggressive animals. They drop no items when killed.
Gameplay[]
The bear will detect Druid and Ranger class creatures and may "random" walk away from them and not attack - but in practical gameplay, if the bear is already hostile, the default WDASIGHT script seems to override the BEAR script, and thus it still attacks.
If the bear is struck by Fire damage, the bear's attack is interrupted and it will temporarily move away.
Otherwise, if the bear is neutral it has about a 7 second delay before potentially attacking the nearest creature it can detect.
The bear attacks in melee combat with its natural weapons (paws), up to three attacks per round.
Their paws are classified as +3 enchanted weapons in terms of what they can strike.
This kind of bear can be called from the priest spell Animal Summoning III, although it is a random chance.
Note that the bear produced from the spell has a superior strength rating (18/100), 17 CON and 70 HP, and is raised to a 9 HD creature level.
