[QUOTE="SidusLupus, post: 2689925, member: 10278"] So after a particularly boring evening I deceided to go about creating a Nymean Lion. I think I made something pretty good but I have no idea what CR it is. I wasn't aiming for anything in particular with the CR, I made it and now I'm stuck. After checking on the jump from Dire to Legendary animals I took the stats of a legendary tiger and gave it 18 hd and proceeded to tinker from there. So without further ado, here it is P.s. if you're a player of mine you have no business looking here. ------------------------------------------- Nymean Lion Huge Magical Beast Hit Dice: 18d10+126 (225) Initiative: +4 Speed: 50ft Armor Class: 27 (-2 Size, +4 Dex, +15 Natural), 12 touch, 23 flat footed Base Attack/ Grapple: +18/ +26 Attack: Claw +29 melee (2d6+ 11) Full Attack: 2 claws +29 melee (2d6+11), Bite +24 melee (2d8+5) Space/ Reach: 15ft/ 15ft Special Attacks: Deafening Roar, Burning Breath, Frightful Presence, Improved Grab, Pounce, Rake +28 (2d6+ 5), Wicked Attacks Special Qualities: Dark Vision (60ft), DR 10/ Adamantine, Fast healing 5, Low-light vision, Resistance to cold 10, fire 10, sonic 10, Scent, SR 23, Saves: Fort +18, Ref +15, Will +11 Abilities: STR 33, DEX 18, CON 24, INT 12, WIS 16, CHA 12 Skills: Jump +41 (+45 running), Listen +24, Spot +24 Feats: Awesome Blow, Improved Bull Rush, Improved Overrun, Iron Will, Power Attack, Run, Snatch Environment: Organization: Solitary Challenge Rating: Treasure: Nymean hide, Nymean claws Alignment: N Advancement: Level Adjustment: - The Nymean lion is one of the fiercest creatures in legend.
