I'd lean toward "Fling" since the verb feels more like an ability or an attack. But it's no big deal.

Same here.

Shall we let Shade use whichever of the two he prefers?

Well, since you asked...

Skills and feats next, I guess.

2 ranks apiece in Climb, Listen and Spot?

Not sure about the feats.

Improved Grapple and Reckless Offense?

 

[Shade]

Skills appeal.

Reckless Offense is a good fit. Improved Grapple requires Improved Unarmed Strike, and I don't really think they need it. How about Power Attack, or Point Blank Shot for flinging filth?

Dammit, I keep on forgetting the pesky Improved Unarmed Strike prereq. The reason I fancy Improved Grapple is, unless my memory of Gulliver's Travels plays me awry, the Yahoo's spent a lot of time punching and wrastling with each other. Indeed, I vaguely recall them attacking Semuel at some stage.

Hmm, that suggests giving them Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat, and Improved Grapple and Reckless Offense as regular feats.

Anyhow, I'm not that fond of Power Attack of Point Blank Shot for them. Don't recall them being particularly powerful combatants - the Houyhnhnm could easily defeat them in a fight.

Maybe not give them two combat feats, but Reckless Offense plus a skill-boosting feat - maybe Acrobatic, Agile or Athletic?

If that's the case, I could see Improved Unarmed Strike and Improved Grapple. I'd rather not give 'em a bonus feat. It meets the prereqs for both, so let's just go with those two feats, OK?

 

[freyar]

That works for me.

I can go for that.

That being the case, shall we replace the slam attacks with unarmed strikes?
