Firebrats, unless cornered, attempt to flee. When forced to fight, they charge in and bite, releasing their spittle. A firebrat will attack to defend a clutch of eggs or a brood of young. Skills: Firebrats have a +4 racial bonus on Hide and Spot checks and a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks. A firebrat can always choose to take 10 on Climb checks, even if rushed or threatened. Firebrats use either their Strength or Dexterity modifier to Climb checks, whichever is higher.
