[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 915068, member: 2012"] A version of thri-kreen with Anime Freak's dire humanoid template attached. I've changed the template's Dexterity bonus to +2 and uped the bonus Special Attack to 2d4 + the creatures adjusted Strength bonus (called potent bite instead of tusk for this creation only). (Of course, this is another critter/race designed for my World of Kulan campaign setting.) :D Enjoy!
