[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6202240, member: 57383"] Good-oh. I'll bear it in mind with the next update. Well, a standard Dire Rat has 4 skill ranks, distributed as Hide 1, Listen 1, Move Silently 1, Spot 1. The Ratwere is a size bigger so misses out on a +4 size bonus to Hide. If we put 4 of its points into Hide to compensate, that'll leave us with 4. Maybe evenly distribute those between the Dire Rat's skills? That maxes out its Hide skill. We could give it a higher Move Silently and reduce its sense skills so they're no better than a standard Dire Rat, I suppose. Alternatively, we could reduce the Ratwere's sneakiness so it's as good as a Dire Rat rather than 1 point better and give it another point in either Climb & Swim OR Listen & Spot. [B]"Isometric Ratwere" Skill Ranks:[/B] Hide 6, Listen 2, Move Silently 2, and Spot 2. [B]"Stealthy Ratwere" Skill Ranks:[/B] Hide 6, Listen 1, Move Silently 4, and Spot 1. [B]"Athletic Ratwere" Skill Ranks:[/B] Climb 1, Hide 5, Listen 2, Move Silently 1, and Spot 2, Swim 1. [B]"Observant Ratwere" Skill Ranks:[/B] Hide 5, Listen 3, Move Silently 2, and Spot 3. Which of those do you favour? I'd be OK with any of them, but I'm leaning toward the "Isometric Ratwere". [/QUOTE]
