How many nipples does a shifter have ?

[Modeus]

Yesterday, I was playing Ja'akkar Kruger, Shifter Paladin of the Raven Queen, a masochistic freak who trained under the Shadar-Kai of Letherna.

My paladin is designed to use temporary hit points to attract attacks from the enemy so I roleplayed him as someone who enjoys pain.

EVerytime an enemy crits me, I say the old Monty Python favourite "My nipples explode with delight !"

When I was critically hit the third time. Firelance remarked that I had no nipples left. To which I argued that Longtooth shifters are modelled after wolves and had at least six nipples.

So how many nipples does a shifter have ?

( I ended the game with zero healing surge, BTW )

Clearly, when a shifter uses his racial power, extra nipples burst forth from his torso. It's not in the PH2 explicitly, but it's implied. There are nipples all over that book.

EDIT: also, you could just consult the Nipples Table on the DM screen.

It is an absolute fact that a shifter has more nipples than a dragonborn.

Most of the time.

It depends, did you take the Improved Nipples feat? If so, it increases your nipples from 6 to 8.

What a waste of time.

This question is absolutely rediculous, and should not have a place on these forums... I am appalled...


...clearly as a masochist you're more interested in the load limit of your nipples post piercing than how many you might have, which is based on your Endurance.


Bah. Nub.

I don't know if that's balanced. In 4e, I think it'd be better if you could get 1 extra nipple for one encounter per day. Maybe if you hit a milestone you'd get a 2nd extra nipple.

I think you mean the extra nipples feat. the improved nipple feat increases nipple size.

I think it is 1d6 nipples at heroic, 2d6 at paragon tier and 3d6 at epic.
There is also a feat to get 1d8 nipples per tier instead.

Well, I'm going to take this question seriously and scour through shifter lore to find out the average size of a shifter litter.

'cos the # of nipples a mammal has is equal to 2x the average size of a litter.

Really?

I came up with two.

Cause... they only have two breasts.
