[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5365910, member: 57383"] Thanks, I was hoping someone else would spare me having to find the stats and type them out. :) Hang on, what's the point of giving it Weapon Finesse when it has a Dex penalty? So, increase the size to Medium and give them the Dire quality? Standard Advancement would give: [B]Dire Penguin[/B] Medium Animal Hit Dice: 2d8+2 (11 hp) Initiative: -3 Speed: 10 ft.

Armor Class: 8 (-3 Dex, +1 natural), touch 8, flat-footed 8 Base Attack/Grapple: +1/+1 Attack: Bite -4 melee* (1d4) Full Attack: Bite -4 melee* (1d4) Saves: Fort +4, Ref +0, Will +0 Abilities: Str 10, Dex 5, Con 12, Int 2, Wis 11, Cha 6 Hmm, I think we'd better keep the Dex the same as the Tiny penguin. If its Dire we might as well make the bite a normal attack. I toyed with the idea of increasing the Strength to 12-13, but decided that was too much. These things are only a bit bigger than an Emperor penguin, so shouldn't be that strong. Probably add a drop of NA. Oh, and penguins are not restricted to cold climates, indeed the Inkayacu we're basing this on is a South American species. The environment should just be "Aquatic".
