Message: <blockquote data-quote="Spatzimaus" data-source="post: 422276" data-attributes="member: 3051">One of the earlier comments reminded me of something: you always run into Dire Bears, Dire Tigers, Dire Wolves... fully grown, nasty creatures.  How come you never run into a Dire Puppy?  Dire Chihuahua?  Dire Dolphin?And what would a Dire Human be?  Just a Giant, or would it be different?Oh, and I am SO using the Dire Flying Squirrel stats you guys gave.  It has that whole "what the hell is THAT thing?" feel to it.  Imagine a group of them terrorizing a village.  Imagine one as a companion for a Ranger or Druid, especially an Awakened one.  Imagine what happens when one becomes a Ghost.Let's see... time to get really silly here...(I'm assuming there's no actual "glide" movement type, it's just Fly with the bad maneuverability types limiting angle, and maybe a special limit that you can't go upward)"Rocky", Awakened Dire Squirrel GhostMedium-Sized AnimalHit Dice: 6d12 (39 hp)Initiative: +5 (Dex)Speed: 30 ft., climb 15 ft., fly 50 ft.

This attack automatically deals an additional 3d6+3 points of damage.Manifestation (Su): All ghosts have this ability. See MM for details.MALEVOLENCE (Su): Once per round, an ethereal ghost can merge its body with a creature on the Material Plane, as the spell Magic Jar (Will DC 16, 10th-level caster)TELEKINESIS (Su): The ghost can use Telekinesis once per round as a free action, as cast by a 12th-level SorcererCORRUPTING GAZE (Su): The ghost can blast living beings at a glance, at a range of up to 30 feet.  Creatures that meet the ghost's gaze must make a Fortitude save (DC 16) or suffer 2d10 points of damage and 1d4 points of permanent Charisma drainREJUVENATION (Su): Within 2d4 days, a ghost that would otherwise be destroyed returns to its old haunts with a successful level check (1d20+6) against DC 16.UNDEAD: Immune to mind-influencing effects, poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, and disease.  Not subject to critical hits, subdual damage, energy drain, or death from massive damage.INCORPOREAL: Can be harmed only by other incorporeal creatures, +1 or better magic weapons, or magic, with a 50% chance to ignore any damage from a corporeal source.  Can pass through solid objects at will, and its own attacks pass through armor.  Always moves silently.Now tell me that wouldn't make a fun enemy for a party of around 4th or 5th level (Ghost adds 2 to CR, and a 4 HD animal wouldn't be very high).  Especially if you play him as totally insane.</blockquote>
