Since they did not have the magic or know how to breed magebred animals they had to depend more on luck and getting the right dinosaurs to mate. They started the program at the beginning of the last war (just in case they needed it if the war came their way). Only now are the first of these better war mounts starting to catch in any big numbers. Still its rare to find them as the first few of them have only started to start to work in the halfings armies. They are rarely found in the wild as the traits that make an eximus claw foot are usually as rare as they are in any race. [b]Combat [/b] They are always trained for war as that’s what they where breed for. [b]Skills:[/b] A clawfoot receives a +8 racial bonus on Hide, Jump, Listen, Spot, and Survival checks. [b]Carrying Capacity:[/b] A light load for an eximus clawfoot is up to 116 pounds; a medium load, 117-233 pounds; and a heavy load, 234-350 pounds. An eximus clawfoot can drag 1,750 pounds. [b]Creating an Eximus Creature[/b] “Eximus” is an inherited template that can be added to any aberration, animal, elemental, humanoid, magical beast, monstrous humanoid, outsider, or giant (here after referred to as the base creature). It has all the base creature’s characteristics except as noted here. Among the population of every kind of creature there are some specimens that are just slightly better then its fellows. Unlike the paragon’s of a creatures type the eximus creature is not the best of its kind its just better then most of its kind. As eximus creatures are commonly a random improvement in the creature but they are just as commonly the result of a breading program to make a better warrior. The changes might seam miner to some but to others, they are what the world can become. [b]Speed:[/b] The base creatures’ speed increases by 10 ft. on all movement types. [b]Special Attacks:[/b] An eximus creature’s special attacks, if any, all gain a +3 insight bonus, if applicable. For instance, an eximus creature might have a special attack that allows it to put its enemies to sleep if they fail a Will saving throw (DC 15); applying the bonus increases the DC to 18. Likewise, it might have a special ability that allows it to rend; in this case the +1 insight bonus could be applied as a +3 bonus on damage. The +3 insight bonus may only be applied to a given special ability once. One example of a special attack to which the +3 insight bonus would not apply is the dream haunting ability of the night hag (see [i]the Monster Manual[/i]). [b]Special Qualities:[/b] An eximus creature retains all the special qualities of the base creature and gains one or more bonus supernatural abilities from the list below. The creature gains one ability; in addition, another for every 5 Hit Dice it has. The creature can gain more abilities if it gains enough Hit Dice. [b]-[/b] Acid Resistance: The creature gains acid resistance equal to 3 plus its Hit Dice. This resistance increases as the creature gains Hit Dice (maximum acid resistance 20).
