Converting "Real World" Animals and Vermin

[freyar]

I think drop the claws. 1d4 and Ref sound about right. 20 ft cone or 30 ft?

 

[demiurge1138]

Agreed about dropping the claws, agreed to Ref and 1d4 rounds. Let's go 30ft for the range.

Updated.

Do we want a single kick attack or multiple?

 

[freyar]

I'd say give them 2, and we're done.

 

[Shade]

We're a long way from done. Just look at all those x's!

A giant walking stick is 8 feet long and weighs x pounds. Coloration varies from brown to green, or even yellow.

Training a giant walking stick as a mount requires a successful Handle Animal check (DC 30). Giant walking stick eggs are worth x gp on the open market. Professional trainers charge x gp to tame a giant walking stick.

Carrying Capacity: A light load for a giant walking stick is up to 258 pounds; a medium load, 259-519 pounds; and a heavy load, 520-780 pounds. A giant walking stick can drag x pounds.

Argh, the x, the x!

100 lb?

200 gp, 1000 gp? Anyone know of a good equivalent for these?

drag 3900 lb. (usually you can drag 5x high end of heavy load)

Anyone know of a good equivalent for these?

Giant Dragonfly eggs are worth 500 gp on the open market. Professional trainers charge 300 gp to tame a giant dragonfly. (A&EG version)

Giant firefly eggs are worth 300 gp on the open market. Professional trainers charge 300 gp to tame a giant firefly.

A properly trained dragonfly mount is worth 4,000 gp on the open market. (Dragon Mag version)

 

[freyar]

Bump the eggs to 400 gp and put training at 600 gp? So a trained mount is worth 1000gp plus maybe a little markup (say 1200gp)?

 

[Shade]

Updated. Are we finished?

 

[demiurge1138]

With the blindness cone and the stronger offense, I think this might be a CR 4.
