Converting prehistoric animals

I'd keep its speed lower. This thing is bulky and enormous. Baleen and cachalot whales both have speeds of 40 as well.

Fair enough. Thoughts on the vortex maw?

 

[demiurge1138]

It looks good as is, although we might want to increase the range.

Mean thought--could we give it the Improved Bull's Rush feat and apply it to the vortex maw?

Well, that would give the "DC" a big boost. OTOH, it already has a +31 on the check. Perhaps IBR would be overkill?

 

[demiurge1138]

+31? Yeah, IBR would be gilding the lily there.

EDIT: Wait a minute! Why didn't I see this before? Having the vortex maw pull in everything in a 30ft radius is a little overkill. Not to mention, unlikely. A cone seems much more reasonable.

 

[Shade]

So...30-foot cone for the dinicthys, 40-foot cone for Shonisaurus?

 

[freyar]

Oh, yeah, cone makes much more sense. Agreed to the lengths.

 

[demiurge1138]

Both sound good!
