[QUOTE="BOZ, post: 2647003, member: 1241"] Death Throes (Ex): When killed, a DUDE spontaneously explodes in a flash of white-hot light. All creatures within 10 feet must make a successful DC 11 Fortitude save or be blinded for 1d6 x10 minutes. The save DC is Constitution-based. Added this to the flavor text: DUDEs that witness a DUDE's death throes will often flee in terror, but regroup quickly when they get the chance. As to the armor, it is as protective as chain shirt, thus I would have to say it is thicker than leather and therefore probably more restrictive. Would a max Dex of +4 and an armor check penalty of -1 make sense? It should be light armor and weigh 15 lbs like leather armor. What, if any, should be arcane spell failure chance? Clothing: A DUDE wears layer upon layer of rotting cloth, applying new layers from time to time as the layers beneath rot away. Are you sure that I need to do the racial hit dice replacement thing? I don't see any 1-HD humanoids that do that. Would it require this because it is not a 1st-level warrior? DUDES AS CHARACTERS DUDE characters possess the following racial traits. - +6 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, -2 Intelligence, -2 Charisma. - Small size. +1 bonus to Armor Class, +1 bonus on attack rolls, +4 bonus on Hide checks, -4 penalty on grapple checks, lifting and carrying limits 3/4 those of Medium characters. - A DUDE's base land speed is 30 feet. - +4 racial bonus on Climb, Hide, and Move Silently checks. - Special Attacks (see above): Death throes, spell-like ability - Special Qualities (see above): Detect magic, light blindness, see in darkness - Automatic Languages: Undercommon. Bonus Languages: . - Favored Class: Rogue - Level Adjustment: +2. [/QUOTE]
