Other than its larger size, a giant skunk is identical to the normal variety.
Combat
While slightly more aggressive in the defence of its territory, a giant skunk's first reaction is to spray its foes with its musk. They will flee if possible when clearly threatened, and will bite only as a last resort.
Musk Spray (Ex): As a full round action, a giant skunk may shoot a 50' cone of musk at its foes. Every creature within the cone must make a DC 13 Fortitude save (Con based) or be nauseated for 2d10+10 rounds. Creatures that make their save are still sickened for 2d10+10 rounds.
In addition, any victim within the cone suffers a -8 penalty to Charisma based skill checks and NPC reaction checks. This penalty lasts until the victim and all its items are thoroughly washed, after which the penalty drops to -2 for the next 1d4 days.
A giant skunk may use this ability up to 5 times per day.
