Intimidating Nature: They receive a +2 racial bonus on Intimidation checks due to their fearsome appearance and nature. In addition, Intimidation is always a Proficient skill, and can use their Strength bonus rather than Charisma bonus, if that would be higher. However, this fearsome appearance and nature makes negotiation more difficult. Half-Ghruz receive a -2 penalty on Persuasion checks when dealing with all races other than Half-Ghruz.

Half-Ghruz Ferocity: Once per day, when a Half-Ghruz is brought below 0 hit points but not killed, they can continue to fight for 1 more round. At the end of that round, unless brought above 0 hit points, they immediately fall unconscious and begin making death saves as usual.
