[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5728565, member: 57383"] How's this: [SIZE=4][B]Clawed Yahoo[/B][/SIZE] In Jonathan Swift's satirical book [I]Gulliver's Travels[/I] the yahoos fought mainly with claws, augmented by their sharp teeth. They were not adept at thrown weapons as described above. Indeed, there is no mention of them using any weapons at all aside from biting and scratching. Such a yahoo uses the following statistics, with any missing statistic being the same as the yahoo detailed above. [B]Attack:[/B] Claw +4 melee (1d3+1) [B]Full Attack:[/B] 2 claws +4 melee (1d3+1) and bite +1 melee (1d4) [B]Special Attacks:[/B] Improved grab, stench [B]Feats:[/B] Multiattack, Weapon Focus (claw) [B]COMBAT[/B] Instead of using thrown weapons like other yahoos, clawed yahoos prefer to attack opponents by outnumbering and ambushing them. They are just as cowardly as other yahoos, taking to their heels if they face any significant resistance. [B]Improved Grab (Ex):[/B] To use this ability, a clawed yahoo must hit an opponent of up to Large size with a claw attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold. Clawed yahoos have a +4 racial bonus to grapple checks. [B]Stench (Ex):[/B] A clawed yahoo is covered in filth whose smell nearly every form of animal life finds offensive. All living creatures (except yahoos and troglodytes) within 30 feet of the yahoo must succeed on a DC 11 Fortitude save or be sickened for 1d4 rounds. The save DC is Constitution-based. Creatures that successfully save cannot be affected by the same yahoo's stench for 24 hours. A [I]delay poison [/I]or [I]neutralize poison [/I]spell removes the effect from the sickened creature. Creatures with immunity to poison are unaffected, and creatures resistant to poison receive their normal bonus on their saving throws. [/QUOTE]
