Suggested Skill Ranks: Concentration 8, Diplomacy 8, Escape Artist 8, Hide 8, Knowledge (nature) 8, Move Silently 8, Sense Motive 8

Feats: Weapon Finesse and Improved Initiative (or Dodge and Mobility--they like to flee)

CR: 5? (Doens't the ability to cast spells as an Xth-level spellcaster usually require at least that CR?) Their other abilities don't really warrant a CR increase.

Treasure: Standard

Weight: A jaguar is fairly comparable to a leopard which weighs 120 lbs. Since a chac resembles a "slender jaguar", this should work.

Chacs speak Common and Sylvan.

Caster level 10th for spell-likes?

Spells: Chacs can cast divine spells as 5th-level clerics. A chac has access to the following domains: Air and Water. The save DCs are Wisdom-based.

Typical Cleric Spells Prepared (5/4+1/2+1/1+1; save DC 11 + spell level): 0--create water, detect magic, detect poison, purify food and drink, read magic; 1st--bless water, entropic shield, obscuring mist*, sanctuary, summon monster I; 2nd--owl's wisdom, resist energy, wind wall*; 3rd--summon monster III, water breathing*.
*Domain spell. Domains: Air and Water.

are you sure?

"Chacs always have a hoard of 100-1000 cocoa beans in their lair, and they use the beans to produce a chocolate drink of which they are very fond. Chacs also collect art objects, especially carved jade and turquoise, but rarely of gold or other metal. A typical chac lair contains art pieces worth 200-800 gq."

Oops. Perhaps this would be more appropriate:

No coins; standard goods; no items

Flavor does equal good, especially cocoa flavor. :rolleyes:

And I think it is cool to have some trading of goods from time to time rather than every critter in the multiverse having four kinds of coins.

It still needs a weight and an LA.

For Weight: A jaguar is fairly comparable to a leopard which weighs 120 lbs. Since a chac resembles a "slender jaguar", this should work.

LA +3? It has favorable ability adjustments, 5th-level spellcasting, and a couple of spell-like abilities.
