Endur's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft OOC

Industrygothica: Slithergleam

Industrygothica,

Your character sheets in the Rogues Gallery need stats for Slithergleam. See Isida's character sheet for an example of Sikilar's animal companion stats. Remember that there are two versions of the attack trick ... the normal attack that costs one trick and the attack unnatural creatures that costs two tricks. Since Slithergleam is a snake, Slithergleam gets 3 tricks plus 1 trick for an animal companion.

Its ok to not have stats for regular animals (Strider the guarddog, the horses), since I just use the MM for that. Although those who have regular animals should post what tricks their animals know.

Boo, as a miniature giant space hamster, does not have stats in the MM so don't worry about his stats.

I could be mistaken, but I was under the impression that your generic Warhorse or whatnot had a 'trick' package already... this is what I was going off of (emphasis mine):

http://www.d20srd.org/srd/skills/handleAnimal.htm

Combat Riding (DC 20): An animal trained to bear a rider into combat knows the tricks attack, come, defend, down, guard, and heel. Training an animal for combat riding takes six weeks. You may also “upgrade” an animal trained for riding to one trained for combat riding by spending three weeks and making a successful DC 20 Handle Animal check. The new general purpose and tricks completely replace the animal’s previous purpose and any tricks it once knew. Warhorses and riding dogs are already trained to bear riders into combat, and they don’t require any additional training for this purpose.

I think this is the part where the GM starts playing the Monster Mash.

Makes me wish I had taken levels in bard. Monsters are harmless when mashing.

Yes, that's correct, the generic warhorse has that package.

Dammerung and Strider might not have the generic packages though.

Or a couple of levels in paladin to provide that save bonus to your companions. Or maybe next time, we'll have to have someone use Magic Circle vrs. Evil. I think that may have helped too!


Edit: Assuming there is a next time.

Not that Protection from Evil helped me much. Darn low fort saves...

Since Willow is a third level druid, wouldn't that give Slithergleam 5 tricks (3 for an INT score of 1, plus 2 for being a druid of level 3-5)?

Thanks for pointing out the attack unnatural creature option. I've never noticed that one before. That'll definitely come in handy. I'll get to statting him out straight away.

Someone come slap rick!

Yup, that was my bad. I'll memorize it in the morning.

Assuming there is a morning for us.
