Special Conversion Thread: Sheens

[demiurge1138]

Agreed to normal advancement progression, mentioning in the entry something about how advanced rollers are among the most common of the advanced sheens.

I also think we should give them trample.

Agreed to regular advancement and trample.

Grasp seems like either rend (and I'm going to guess claw=shovel arms) or possibly improved grab plus natural weapon damage (as allowed in grapple). Thoughts?

 

[Leopold]

these are giant steam rollers aren't they? Would they take the prey capture them and then run them over?

 

[demiurge1138]

Well, from the description, they're more lunar buggies with claw arms. And it's hard to roll over something you're holding without doing as much damage to your hands.

I was thinking they would take their opponent and toss them on the ground THEN run them over. Lunar buggies with claw arms..hmm.

 

[freyar]

Well, you can trample people who aren't prone, so there wouldn't really be an advantage (by the rules) for it to knock someone down before trampling them.

reminded from that scene from Roger rabbit

Added to Homebrews.

So improved grab/constrict (like monstrous crabs and scorpions) or rend?

MV 9 (24 on smooth surfaces)

Speed improves to 60 feet on "smooth surfaces"?

 

[freyar]

Looks like imp grab and some variation of constrict to me.

Not sure what to make of that speed thing. Maybe replace that with sprint or something more standard. Edit: or a little more weird -- just no need to make Balance checks on rough terrain.

I like the "ignores difficult terrain" rule. Simpler. Elegant. A rule from a more civilized age.
