[QUOTE="Krishnath, post: 2148964, member: 56"] [color=aqua]As I said in another guardinal thread, wouldn't it be fun to make new guardinals as a community effort. I.e. anyone can join in the creation of the guardinals. We'll start with something simple, the Vulpinal, or Fox Guardinal. Basically a humanoid fox that cast spells as a wizard. Let's start shall we? What we have: ---------- [b][u]Vulpinal[/u] Medium Outsider (Extraplanar, Good, Guardinal) HD:[/b] 4d8+8 (26 hp) [b]Initiative:[/b] +6 [b]Speed:[/b] 40' (8 squares) [b]Armor Class:[/b] 19 (+6 Dex, +3 natural) [b]Base Attack/Grapple:[/b] +4/+6 [b]Attack:[/b] - [b]Full Attack:[/b] - [b]Space/Reach:[/b] 5'/5' [b]Special Attacks:[/b] Spells, Spell-like Abilities, [b]Special Qualities:[/b] Guardinal traits (Darkvision 60', immunity to electricity and petrification, [i]lay on hands[/i], low-light vision, +4 racial bonus on saves against poison, resistance to cold 10 and sonic 10, [i]speak with animals[/i]), Damage reduction 5/evil and/or silver, Spell resistance, [b]Saves:[/b] Fort +6, Ref +10, Will +7 [b]Abilities:[/b] Str 14, Dex 23, Con 15, Int 20, Wis 16, Cha 18, [b]Skills:[/b] Appraise +12 (+14 to appraise alchemical items), Bluff +11, Concentration +9, Craft: Alchemy +12, Decipher Script +12, Diplomacy +13, Disguise +5 (+7 when acting in character), Escape Artist +7, Hide +13, Intimidate +6, Jump +4, Knowledge: Arcana +12, Knowledge: the Planes +12, Listen +10, Move Silently +7, Open Lock +7, Sleight of Hand +9, Spellcraft +14, Spot +10, Survival +3 (+5 while on the planes), Tumble +7, Use Magic Device +5 (+9 when using scrolls), [b]Feats:[/b] - [b]Environment:[/b] Blessed Fields of Elysium (perhaps also Twin Paradises of Bytopia?) [b]Organization:[/b] - [b]Challenge Rating:[/b] X [b]Treasure:[/b] No coins, double goods, standard items, [b]Alignment:[/b] Always neutral good [b]Advancement:[/b] - [b]Level Adjustment:[/b] ? [B]Spell-like abilties:[/B] ?/day - [I]Fox's Cunning[/I], [B]Spells:[/B] A vulpinal cast spells as a 4th level wizard gaining bonus spells for its high intelligence score.

This innate spellcasting stacks with the spellcasting gained from the wizard class. Thus a 4HD vulpinal with 5 levels of wizard would know and cast spells as a 9th level wizard. ---------- So, come on, all are invited to share their ideas. :D[/color] [Color=yellow]Edit: Added size[/color] [color=pink]Edit: Added HD, Skills, Ability scores, calculated hp, saves[/color] [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]Edit: Added speed.[/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkOrange]Edit:Added natural armor.[/COLOR] [COLOR=YellowGreen]Edit:Added synergy bonuses to skills.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
