Creature request: Racoon

[Ferret]

I have made a Prestige class, and now I need to get a Racoon to go with it.

 

[Ferret]

Does anyone have ideas?

 

[Frog Slime]

I'd say, use the stats for a badger, with the following changes:

No Rage special attack.
Con 13 instead Con 15

That pretty much covers it.

 

[Ferret]

You sure?They're intelligent and dextourus, most dexterous non-primate animal, and they wash food. Besides I have this:

Raccoons are intelligent omnivores with a black, mask-like pattern of fur on their faces. The statistics here can be used for other Small animals such as hedgehogs and opossums.

Erm. All animals have an intelligence of 1 or 2, raccoons should have a climb speed (my opinion), and the initiative should be +3 (Dex).

 

[Ferret]

Dodgy ain't it? I'm in no position to judge/change raccoons live else where then here

Let's see. Ferret's looking for a Racoon and doesn't want to use the stats of a Badger.

I couldn't resist.

 

[Frog Slime]

Well, Ferret, I do have the little buggers near my house, and let me tell you, if they had an Intelligence of 3, they wouldn't try and get into my trash anymore, lest they meet up with my steel-toed boot.

(I know, I know, it's a little cruel, but who wants to clean up maggot-ridden trash at five in the morning before the trash guys come?)

 

[Ferret]

So, they don't have 3int? I didn't think they did, what else are they like?

 

[Lela]

So, they don't have 3 Int?

In fact, no animal does. A 3 Int means "Human Like Intelegence." By the same token, no character can have less than a 3 Int. If your playing a Half-Orc and roll a three, you can put that into your intellegence and not go any lower. Effectivly nullifying the -2 racial penalty.

Of course, then you're stuck with a 3 Int.

Now back to your regularly schedulled thread.
