Comments? Suggestions? Does anyone guess where this 2headed dire Squirrel comes from ;D ???

 

[BOZ]

so what did you think of carnivorous flying?

 

[rankarrog]

I thought: Now I have to hurry before he converts/makes the other ones, too

To speak the truth, I didn't knew the carnivorous flying squirrel before, but it looks quite intresting, especially it's attack could be a nasty suprise for my players.
Perhaps you should inlude how far they can glide or how much height they loose per feet the glide (Someting akin to: They can glide 5 time the height they climbed, else a merciless DM, could rule that all the initial attacks are made at +20 or so. Carnivorous Flying Squirrel of True Striking! Huzzah! ;D ).

Perhaps I make a dire one of the CFS and Weapon Finesse (Bite) would also be a cool addition to the other dire squirrels.

 

[Ferret]

Do you have to be small for the weresquirels?Or wil it work on medium?

 

[rankarrog]

You don't have to be small to became a weresquirrel, Any humanoid can become one.

I just thought that it would be more suitable for asmall character to turn into a tiny beast, so I made one based upon a halfling. The hybrid should be something inbetween medium and tiny so I made that small.

I'll add the size of the Hybrid to the template.

 

[Nebin]

You should use a Gnome commoner as the base for the Were-Squirrel, Forest Gnome are more likely to encounter them.

 

[las]

the Squirrel and Dire Squirrel will be in my game with a miner change (giving them there feat) good work . Now I can make the Squrrel of doom.

 

[Krishnath]

"Aye. The corpses of my friends lay strewn like autumn leaves. I knew it was up to me. Its hate-filled eyes locked with mine, and I knew only one of us would escape with our lives. I and I alone defeated the squirrel in mortal combat."
