[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8464106, member: 57383"] I spent ages vaccillating between a Dog's ferocity and bite-and-grab, a Wolf's pack tactics and pite-to-knock-prone and a Zombie Dog's pounce (which is basically an alternate phrasing of the Wolf's bite attack. Couldn't decide which I liked better, although I was leaning slightly towards the Dog's version, but eventually concluded that they were (a) all a bit too fiddly and (b) seemed slightly too potent for CR 1/8 so just dropped them in favour of a plain vanilla bite. What do you think? [B][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/database/creature/dog-medium/'][B][SIZE=5]Dog[/SIZE][/B][/URL][/B][SIZE=5][B] Version[/B][/SIZE] [B][I]Ferocity[/I][/B].
