ER.. now onto the big problem..
Fangor - oh my god, I don't know how I missed that... PseudoDRAGON.. flight... *$%#! I don't know how to say this, but I'd completely glazed over on the fact that you could fly... I wasn't allowing flying in this campaign for the exact reason you've described as your fighting and scouting style... I don't know how I missed it before, but I was intending for the party to have no means of easily accessing the *vertical axis* until they gained the airship.
oy.... OK, anybody have any ideas? I'd specifically stated earlier in the thread on a few occasions that I didn't want ANY flying characters, but I guess it is a lot to read through, and hence easy to miss. HELP?!?!? I'm completely at a loss for how to fix this without negating his whole character concept.
Ok, I don't mind the work, as I think I might have an alternative. Here he is:
[sblock=Deinonychus (Dinosaur) General Info]
PROS - Speed 60', +5 Nat Armor, Full Attack of Talon/2Claws/Bite, Pounce, Low Light Vision, Scent, +8STR(Prime), +4DEX, +8CON, +2WIS, +8 to Hide/Jump/Listen/Spot/Survival, Charisma starts at 10 to better aid in Dragon Shaman ability (HEAL)
CONS - -8INT, No Speech, weighs around 600lbs[/sblock]
The ECL of this guy would be lower than the Pseudodragon. Pseudodragon was ECL5, This guy is ECL4. I kept him at no monster levels/racial HD, and went with straight Dragon Shaman 8 levels. Also, the INT is listed as -2 to start, due to racial modifier. I don't mind, as I spent a lot of those points to get him up to 10. Stats are high, but he has no speech, but the intelligence to understand common now, with INT of 10. Hell, he might be able to understand a lot more, after seeing that intelligent creatures have INT3 to understand commands. Maybe he can draw symbols in the dirt now, lol.

So, I still get the mascot feel, got a nice lizard type fighter, with either jumping/pouncing charges, or spring attacking combat tactician. He's got the ability to heal others when needed, and he's more of a Final Fantasy fighter/animal warrior, as he can keep up with the others. He doesn't speak, and I don't know of a way to fix that. Perhaps that could be his own little special power, speech? I don't want to give him boots/sandals, as he needs his talons to fight. I figure he can wear fingerless gloves as stated, and rings as well. Items look to be pretty much done, got a little money left, will spend when I can find some cool stuff.
I don't think this guy is going to be doing any ranged attacks, as I don't think he should be able to throw items very well with his arms. He might be able to hold spears and such, merely hefting them in place to charge with them are stab. Other melee weapons such as swords, or anything that requires dexterious arms would not be needed, as I don't see him as that type of fighter.
So, what do you think?
