Dimensional waprers did not engage in combat. Occasionally, a dimensional warper on a observation mission would attack a group of adventurers, to learn all it can about humanoid battle tactics and their emotional state in battle. In addition to their innate magical abilities, a dimensional warper's claws and strong tail were effective in melee combat.

Society
Little was known about dimensional warper society, even where they originated was a mystery. They observed, and rarely communicated with, humanoids of the Prime Material plane. The only dimensional warpers encountered on the Prime Material plane were masters. Master dimensional warpers were the eldest and most wise members of dimensional warper society.

What was known of dimensional warper society was that it was centered on the acquisition of knowledge. Nearly all dimensional warpers dedicated their lives to this purpose and as a result, most adult dimensional warpers were scholars. Dimensional warpers had their own language, and they easily learned the languages of whatever humanoids they were observing.
