Send In The Clowns… (or, Converting the Oddballs)

[Cleon]

Since Donald's unique, he doesn't get an "always", "often", "usually", etc. on his alignment line. He simply is one alignment.

I'd have to lean towards Chaotic neutral. Although he's nice most of the time, he pulls some pretty cruel pranks and his negligence often causes disastrous results for his friends.

Sounds like everyone Chaotically minded. As if I didn't suspect it all along...

Updated Working Draft.

It looks like the raw statistics and special abilities are getting close to being finished.

Shall we get back to Feats and equipment?

Power Attack, Reckless Offense, ...???

By the way, since he's unique, shouldn't advancement be -?

Those'd work. Weapon Focus and Improved Critical for his scimitar?

Yes, I should change it.

Ok, that gets us up to 4 feats. Anyone remember Donald doing anything like bull rushing, overrunning, tripping, etc, opponents?

From my vague memory of his approach to combat, he tends to lose his rag and charge into a brawl, which turns into a cloud of movement from which fists shoot out at random.

Not sure what feat that represents, though. Can't be Whirlwind Attack, 'cause he might only be facing one foe.

Improved Bull Rush would seem to suit him best of that list, I guess.

Another from the Power Attack tree for the last feat? Cleave or Improved Sunder?

I fancy Sunder; Toons often go around chopping up inanimate objects.

I'd go for some non-combat feats. He often cares for animals, some maybe Animal Affinity? My 2-year-old watches lots of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and Donald is always aquiring pets (Boo-Boo Chicken being a frequent one). Persuasive is also a good fit. I could see Improved Feint if you want another combat feat.

Flurry of Blows? yeah I know it's a class ability and not a feat. :-(

I don't recall Donald having much truck with pets, maybe my recollections are all of an Oldschool Donald...

The closest I can remember is Donald dragging a mule about, and he didn't seem to have much affinity with it...

No, I don't like Animal Affinity. If you want a non-combat feat I'd rather pick something like Run. Maybe even Run and Fleet of Foot.

Alternatively, how about Jack Of All Trades? It'd be a good match for his apparent ability to do almost anything (but not very well).

Hmm, Donald doesn't meet the 6th level prereq. How about giving him Jack Of All Trades as a bonus feat?

That's actually a pretty good match, but I think we can leave it out.

I think so. My kids were watching another Mickey Mouse Clubhouse the other day, and Donald had a pet lion.

He's pretty versatile and loaded with stuff as is, so I'd probably suggest not.
