That sounds reasonable!

300 feet plus teleport is pretty good.

Skills: 7 at 9 ranks
Listen, Sense Motive, Spot...
+4 racial bonus on Listen and Spot?

Feats: 3
Alertness, Improved Initiative, Multiattack?

 

[demiurge1138]

Agreed to the racial Spot and Listen bonuses. Your feats make sense, but I can't help but think there's something we could do that's better than Alertness. Lightning Reflexes?

 

[Shade]

Sure. Power Attack makes sense, too, since they're mostly melee beasts.

 

[demiurge1138]

I was contemplating Power Attack. My rationale was that Lightning Reflexes would make them more defensive, since they'd pass more Reflex saves and take even less damage from AoEs. On the other hand, Power Attack would allow them to deal more damage faster, potentially preventing their guarded treasures from getting stolen more easily. Hm. Either works for me. freyar?

 

[Shade]

We could always retain both, and make Improved Initiative a bonus feat.

That sounds like a good plan! And it makes some sense for them to have Imp Init as a bonus in their guardian nature.

 

[demiurge1138]

Sure!

Updated.

We need four more skills. Intimidate? Knowledge (the planes)?
