Dragon Magazine #318 not your typical April issue

[trilobite]

There was a time when Ninja and Pirates coexisted in harmoney but that was long ago.

 

[Calico_Jack73]

Oh...and we'll need some giant enchanted mecha, too.

To fight the dinosaurs.

Mecha are Japanese...like ninja.

Mecha are giant robots.

Giant robots are the natural enemies of dinosaurs.

It all fits together.

But Godzilla was japanese
Godzilla was a giant lizard
dinosaurs are giant lizards
Godzilla was a dinosaur
Ninjas invented Godzilla
Ninjas invented Dinosaurs

Ninjas invented dinosaurs so they'd have even bigger creatures to flip out on and bigger heads to chop off.

 

[Sledge]

Dungeons & Dinosaurs - 11 dinosaurs to add to your MM. Covers the Compsognathus, Dimetrodon, Diplodocus, Gigantosaurus, Helicoprion, Liopleurodon, Pachycephalosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Pteranodon, Rhamphorhynchus, and Stegosaurus; also dinosaur companions and familiars.

Technically speaking these aren't all dinosaurs....
Dimetrodon, Pteranadon, and Rhamphorhynchus come to mind as not dinosaurs.
Also is that supposed to be Giganotosaurus?

 

[Razz]

Ninjas invented dinosaurs so they'd have even bigger creatures to flip out on and bigger heads to chop off.

Godzilla seeks to destroy Japan, and all of the mechs in the Godzilla movies were designed specifically to combat Godzilla.

Therefore, the ninjas invented the mechs to that they could fight the invading dinosaurs.

I won't list the entire class but I will say it's good Reflex save only, poor Will and Fort.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Counting down to the inevitable wail of horror from people who will argue that Ninjas ought to have d12 HD, Fighter BAB, all good saves, 8+Int skill points and the unarmed combat and AC progression of a monk in order to be historically accurate.

What no sneak attack?

My copy of the issue has good ref, poor fort, but it also has a monk-like AC bonus column. Mayhaps that the original poster read the chart wrong.

Mayhaps that the original poster read the chart wrong.

Or made it up or something...
