[QUOTE="doghead, post: 6075772, member: 8243"] Out of curiosity I decided to roll up a character and see what it looked like. The idea of a mutant animal appealed, and I decided to make it a cleric to provide some healing (although at first level they get no spells as far as I understand the rules). After some thought, I decided to wait until I had made all the rolls before choosing the animal type. [FONT=Courier New]STR: 07 +1 08 DEX: 14 -- 14 CON: 03 -> 14 INT: 15 -1 14 WIS: 12 -- 12 CHA: 10 -- 10 PHYSICAL [15] Echolocation [58] Albinism MENTAL [18] Control Light Waves [09] Ancestral Form [82] Temp Control (heat) [04] Accumulated Resistance ARTEFACT [4] Foodstuff and Junk [09] Canned Foods (???)[/FONT] Originally I was thinking along the lines of something large and slow, like a water buffalo or rhinoceros. But the STR doesn't really suit that. I considered the more conventional 'hunting animals' like mountain lion or wolf, but it seemed a bit tame. The most appealing idea is a Giant Ant or Spider, although the character doesn't have the Giantism mutation. Not sure if that would be a problem or if the Giantism is assumed in the type. The more I think about it, the more the latter two ideas appeal. I have this image in my head of the giant albino Ant or Spider constantly seeking out muddy areas in which they can roll around in in order to protect their sensitive skin from the sun.
