Lernean Subtype: These multi headed creatures have bodies that are immune to attack (but see below). The only way to slay a Lernean creature is to sever all its heads. However, each time a head is severed, two new heads spring from the stump in 1d4 rounds. A Lernean creature may never have more than twice its original number of heads; any heads it gains beyond that number wither and die within a day.
To prevent a severed head from growing back into two, at least 5 points of fire or acid damage must be dealt to the stump (AC 19) before the new heads appear.
Spells such as disintegrate, finger of death, and slay living kill a Lernean creature if they succeed. If the spell deals damage on a successful save, that damage is directed to one of the creature’s heads.
Darkvision: This creature can see in complete darkness, up to 90.
Improved Grab (Ex): When this creature hits with its claws, it attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
Pounce (Ex): When a creature with this special ability makes a charge, it can follow with a full attack--including rake attacks if the creature also has the rake ability.
Rake (Ex): A feral that gets a hold can make two rake attacks at its full melee attack bonus with its hind legs. If the feral pounces on an opponent, it can also rake.
Superior Two Weapon Fighting (Ex): Because each head controls one arm (or analogous weapon-using limb), a multithreaded creature has no penalty on attack rolls for attacking with multiple weapons, and the number of attacks and the damage bonus for each weapon are calculated as though the weapon were held in a primary hand.

Items-Amulet of Antimagic (Antimagic Field 1/day on Command Word, 11th level caster), (23,760 gold), Bracers of Health +2 (4,000 Gold), Cloak of Antigmatic (Antimagic Field 1/day on Command Word, 11th level caster) (23,760 gold), Ring of Jumping (2,000 Gold), 12,480 gold remaining

Rules wise, feel free to rip him apart, though I think he's mechanically correct. Curiously, anyone think their character could have beat him? :) What can I say, Sollir likes his templates ;)

darn - well, there goes Sollir, and there goes my opponent.
Of course, there's no way my character could have beat that monstrosity - I based my character on roleplaying and using the core rules more for this GoD than combat effectiveness.

I was under the impression, though, that we were using core rules + a tiny bit of Savage Species, not the whole book.
Are there a bunch of anthropomorphic animals in this GoD?

But I actually love that character, Sollir - what a surprise, eh? ;)

So .... if I submit my character, do I have an opponent, CHL?
 


if it's any consolation, my original character was pure core, but that went out the window with dust of sneezing/choking ;) And, he had a chance of dying in the first round if there were 0 prep rounds and he lost initiative.

*shrugs* Glad you like him though.

Maybe next GoD I can find the time to join :)

(Sorry for your loss of an opponent, Cecil has some backstory to him, buts its munch/crunch before roleplaying for GoDs with me sadly-character flaw ;))
