[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 1723857, member: 16814"] Have you guys looked at GW's description of the kroot? It might lead to some interesting ideas for these critters. If you stat them out according to GW, they should get a bonus to dex and str, and a penalty to con and wisdom, possibly charisma. Or, neutral them out on stats and give them a modified rage ability that temp boosts their str and dex. According to GW, they have the ability to hyper accelerate their speed and dex for a limited time, then drop to normal. I agree that Ranger is the perfect base class for them. Also, the GW fluff paints them as being able to adopt the genetic traits of creatures they feed upon. The shapers main task is to direct the feeding habits of his clan so that they progress instead of stagnate. The krootox and kroot hounds are examples of stagnated offshoots of the kroot race. I think that that could have some seriously fun backstory to a player race. Not sure if what, if any, mechanics game-wise it would have, though. But it would be neat to have a character that eats the creatures it kills. The RP possibilities are too cool. :p [/QUOTE]
