Panda of Ill Omen and other humorous byproducts of conversions

Duration sounds good, as does a Cha boost.

Agreed. Rather than have huggable allow the panda auto-success on grapple checks, how about...

Huggable (Ex): A creature making an opposed grapple check with a panda of ill omen must succeed on a DC X Will save or automatically fail the check, choosing instead to welcome the embrace of the fluffy, cuddly creature. This is a mind-affecting, compulsion effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.

That works. Let's make sure they get Imp Grab, then.

Updated.

Change feats and/or skills from regular panda?

CR 3?

Alignment: Usually neutral?

Suggested flavor text/tactics?

 

[freyar]

I think CR 3, feats, and skills are ok.

Tactics: probably they should use imp grab on non-shaken foes.

Actually, should we give them gnaw or whichever it was to give them auto-damage on a grapple?

 

[demiurge1138]

Needs better feats. Multiattack and Ability Focus (huggable)? Also, the gaze should be opposed by a Will save.

 

[Shade]

Updated.

I think gnaw may be overkill, but might be convinced otherwise.

Suggested flavor text? What gives leads pandas to develop "ill omen" traits?

 

[freyar]

Yeah, that looks better, actually.

Edit: Shade keeps ninja-ing me! How about they are selected by nature deities to punish those who would drive species to the brink?

Without gnaw, maybe we can remind the DM that imp grab allows claw damage on a successful grapple check.

 

[Shade]

My ninjitsu is strong!

Updated. Anything else?

 

[freyar]

I'm pretty happy with it, I think.
