This powerful, equine creature has a light brown coat and big, lively eyes. Long, dark brown hair hangs down in a mane and forelock. A single gnarled and twisted horn, about 2 feet long, grows from the center of the forehead. The hooves are cloven. Its eyes are dark brown.
Brown unicorns, or “roanicorns”, are gentle herbivores found in warm deserts. They graze upon desert flowers, cacti, and sparse desert grasses. Brown unicorns can go for up to four days without food or water.
Brown unicorns have a herd mentality. Each herd has one stallion and several mares. Stallions mark out their territories with a psychic warning fence (see below). Brown unicorns sometimes bury themselves in sand on especially hot desert days.
Brown unicorns occasionally allow themselves to be tamed and ridden by good maidens of pure heart of any race. Such an roanicorn, if treated kindly, is the maiden's loyal steed and protector for life, even accompanying her beyond its desert home.
A typical adult brown unicorn grows to 8 feet in length, stands 5 feet high at the shoulder, and weighs 1,200 pounds. Females are slightly smaller and slimmer than males.
Roanicorns speak Sylvan and Common, and communicate telepathically.
COMBAT
Brown unicorns normally attack only when defending themselves or their herds. They either charge, impaling foes with their horns like lances, or strike with their hooves. The horn is a +3 magic weapon, though its power fades if removed from the roanicorn.
Psychic Warning Fence (Sp): A brown unicorn can use its horn to trace an invisible barrier of mental energies around an area of up to 1 square mile. The barrier warns any creatures with a psi-like ability, power point reserve, or telepathy that they are entering the brown unicorn's territory. A psychic warning fence lasts for 1 week, and can be dispelled as if it were a spell-like ability (caster level equals unicorn's HD). A brown unicorn may only have one psychic warning fence active at a time; creating a second immediately removes the first.
Spell-Like Abilities: Brown unicorns continuously detect thoughts to a range of 60 feet. Once per day a roanicorn can use dimension door.
A brown unicorn can use deep slumber once per day (DC 19, caster level 6th) with a touch of its horn. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Wild Empathy (Ex): This power works like the druid’s wild empathy class feature, except that a brown unicorn has a +6 racial bonus on the check.
Skills: Brown unicorns have a +4 racial bonus on Move Silently checks. *Brown unicorns have a +3 competence bonus on Survival checks in warm deserts.
Psionic Brown Unicorns
Psionic brown unicorns gain the Psionic subtype, and their psychic warning fence ability changes as follows:

A brown unicorn may only have one psychic warning fence active at a time; creating a second immediately removes the first.
