Those skills appeal to me, and I agree to the increased manifester level.

I'll need to update the augmentations based on the increased manifester level, but I'm too tired right now.

While I am happy to drop Survival and Track I'd like to keep Escape Artist, they seem very much like octopodes to me: slimy elusive creatures able to wriggle free from bonds and squeeze through tight spaces.

How about we give them an octopus's +10 racial bonus to Escape Artist and cutting its ranks in Escape Artist by ten, which we transfer to Concentration and Search?

Modifying Shade's modified #2

Autohypnosis 17, Concentration 14, Escape Artist 7, Hide 17, Intimidate 17, Knowledge (the planes) 17, Listen 17, Search 13, Spot 17

What if we give it a racial bonus to Escape Artist for being slimy but no ranks, since they seem kind of like apex predators without much practice escaping things?

Shade · Jun 21, 2010

That works for me. My issue with Escape Artist is that they'll have little use for it. The most common use is escaping from a grapple or pin, wherein their grapple modifier will be a superior option. "Tight space" is probably the only other issue they'd face much.

I just knew you two were going to say that.

Anyhow, I'm alright with just the +10 racial bonus to Escape Artist.

You must be psychic!

Speaking of skills, I'd assumed we'd given these things a swim speed, but as it stands, the thing will drown as soon as it enters the River Styx!

Swim speed equal to land speed, or less?

freyar · Jun 22, 2010

They're pretty durn fast. How about a 30 ft swim speed?

Cleon · Jun 22, 2010

I agree with Shade, Swim 50 ft. to match their land speed.

Come to think of it, we'd better make these Aquatic and Amphibious.

Point taken.

Feats: 5
Combat Reflexes, Weapon Focus (sucker-tentacle), Iron Will (this guy needs it!), Hostile Mind, Mental Leap?

Unfortunately, they can't take Hostile Mind because they have psi-like abilities. Maybe Hold the Line or just Power Attack?
