Combat
Ylyks do not engage opponents directly if they can avoid it. Rather than doing so, they hover over the battlefield, bolstering and commending their allies. If forced to mix into melee, they use their wicked beak and powerful talons before retreating, out of reach.

Fortify the Lines (Ex)
Ylyks are apt commanders, able to steel the bodies and souls of those they lead into battle by merely speaking. Once per encounter, an ylyk can grant all allies that can hear it a morale bonus to AC, all saves as well as all Constitution-based checks equal to half its HD for a number of rounds equal to its Charisma modifier.

Rallying Cry (Ex)
Ylyks inspire and embolden those serving under them. Once per encounter, an ylyk can grant a morale bonus to attack and damage rolls as well as all Strength-based checks equal to half its HD for a number of rounds equal to its Charisma modifier.
