OOC - Planescape: A Hopeless Beginning

[AmorFati]

Mmm...Ii'm gonna have to say no. I can't find a single instance of a creature with both a slam and claw attack, which leads me to conclude that it's an either/or thing; creatures without claws slam (blunt natural weapon) whereas creatures with claws... well, claw.

So claw and gore attacks only I'm afraid.

Yes, that was what I thought as well. Well, 3 natural attacks are nice though

 

[Eluvan]

Yes. Yes, they are. And large size... large size is also nice. Gah... *makes mental note to increase all CRs by one*

Note, though, that if you want to use them to best effect you'll be wanting to take the Multiattack feat. Otherwise those Claw attacks will be at -5 during a full attack. With Multiattack, you'd only be at -2.

Big'gurl, the Feral (1) Anthropomorphic African Elephant (5) Barbarian (2). Phew!!!

She prefers to fight with her claws, and like to rage. Alot.

Shouldn't your Int be 11, for an Anthro? My impression was that Anthros all have Int: 11?

I'm inclined to go for an opposite - an Anthro-Whale Monk, who is always calm and placid... yin to your yang

Or maybe something with a Dromite...

Of course, that feat was about the first thing I looked up *grins*

The text says: Str by size, Dex by size, Con by size, Int = 11, Wis +2, Cha +4. See Table a-58. And when you look at the table, few of them get a +2wis and +4cha. Or is this perhaps in addition to the afformentioned bonuses in the text? I don't know, that part always confused me, so I've alwayes just went with the tables, since the text says "See table."

Wouldn't mind being on an alternate list for this one, if that's alright.

Ah! I get it. Converting an animal to an anthro-animal for the MM entry yields what the text says.

But when you play a PC, that Int 11 becomes an Int +0 racial modifier.

Makes sense now. Of course, it leads to such oddities as a Large shark becoming a Medium creature with a Str penalty and a Medium shark becoming a Medium creature with a Str bonus, and bipedal, humanoid toads with a land speed of 5, but you get that...

If I go with Kree!hnnn the whale, he can be found here...

Alt-listed, Keia.

I'm sure looking forward to seeing backgrounds for these Anthros. Gonna be interesting

Oh, just one other thing I want to catch at this early stage. I hope it won't cause too much annoyance... AmorFati, I find your character's name a little... offputting. Think you could change it to something more like a name her parents might have given her?

'Course! 'tis just a "placeholder" for when I got her more fleshed out. Pun intended

 

[Eluvan]

Cool, thanks.

Well... this is shaping up to be absolutely the strangest party I've ever DMed for. I look forward to it.

 

[Goddess FallenAngel]

Hmm.... I'm thinking a half-fiend telepath. Looks like her succubus mother, and has many of the same... ah... hobbies and attitudes. stats

Although looking over the rest of the characters mentioned publicly, I'm not sure she would fit.
