Very true, and if a PC has a high armor class he/she should be okay, after all, a goat ramming a knight in full plate shouldn't do much more then unbalance the guy.

I think the better question is:Dykstrav said:I'm a little surprised no one has aksed this yet... But why do you need the stats for a goat exactly? It's got me wondering. Are you doing a d20 frat house game or something?
Why doesn't EVERYONE need the stats for a goat?
hehehe...
Just a random idea for a game popped into my head while I was sleeping. Yes, I had a D&D dream, but admitting it is the first step towards healing.
Anyway, I had dreamt of an adventure idea in which wizards' spellbooks mysteriously start disappearing around town. Ultimately, there would be a wizard whose familar (the goat) had somehow turned the tables on him and was demanding to be fed spellbooks. (Cuz goats eat anything, right?)
Anyway, it was just the start of an idea and the more input I gather, the more ideas that I can spring off with and end up with a fun little adventure.
So there you have it.

I use the stats for bearded sheep. Or, occasionally, Small wooly mammoths.
