04-08-07, 05:12 PM		i think we need more animals. present day, real ones an' maybe a couple os variations. e.g. a st bernards (rescue dog) is clearly bigger and better than a jack russel or terrior. All animals any shape or size are welcome here. Ill start.

wildcat

these look like tabby cats but are bigger, have longer fur and are much more aggressive.

Note: to make a half wild half domestic give it 4hp

04-08-07, 06:12 PM		Alright, I've got a question. Where's your wildcat getting +4 hp from? It only has 10 Con...Also, keeping the +4 hp it should have a total of 8 (for monsters, you take the average of the die instead of rolling). About the St. Bernard comment, that's what riding dogs are for. Other than that it looks alright...Woah. Hold up. Wisdom 5?? Dude, most animals have 12 or higher. These things survive in the wild, they've gotta have more common sense and perception than humans.

Well, there's my :twocents:. Go buy yourself an ice cream cone or something.

A few questions/comments:
- It shouldn't have +4 to initiative and +2 dex to AC with dex 10.
- I would put the CR at 1/3 or 1/2, not 1.
- Like someone said before me, why +4 hp and animals usually have higher wisdom
- Its base saves should be +2 / +2 / +0
- small animlas have Space/Reach: 5 ft./5 ft.

This massive carnivore is nine feet long and nearly six feet tall at the shoulder. Its body is covered with thick, coarse brown hair and a set of giant tusks just from its lower jaw.

Also known as grizzly boars, the gorebears isn’t related to the boar at all. Bred towards the end of the Last War in a joint effort by House Vadalis and Brelish druids, the squads of gorebears never saw battle. After the Treaty of Thronehold, almost all of the animals were released into the King’s Forest, although a few druids brought gorebear cubs to the Eldeen Reaches. Though surly and a bit dull witted, gorebears can be trained as mounts and take great delight in charging foes.

COMBAT
Gorebears aren’t subtle and charge anything their size or smaller that is foolish enough or unlucky enough to wander into their territory.

Ferocity (Ex): A gorebear fights without penalty while disabled or dying.

Improved Grab (Ex): If a gorebear hits with both claw attacks, it may start a grapple without provoking an attack of opportunity.

Rend (Ex): If a gorebear successfully grapples a foe, it automatically deals 1d10+12 points of damage to the grapple opponent with its tusks.

Surly (Ex): Due to its short temper and unpleasant nature, the DC to train a gorebear is increased by 1.

Special: A druid of at least 7th level or a ranger of at least 14th level may take a gorebear as an animal companion.

if a mole is taken as a familiar it gives the master a 5ft burrow speed. (for fun)

04-09-07, 11:23 PM		No offense ryuspearhead and monstermaster, but there is about 20 different mistakes in each of your stat blocks. You really should read your MM a few more times...
IceGod

04-09-07, 11:47 PM		I'm assuming the 'wildcat' is something along the lines of a bobcat or lynx? I retooled him a bit and came up with:

Wild Cat
small animal
Hit Dice: 2d8+4 (12hp)
Initiative: +4
Speed: 40ft (cats are FAST)
Armour Class: 14 (+1 nat,+3 dex,+1 size.)
Base Attack/Grapple: +1/-2
Attack: claw +2 (1d3+1)
Full Attack: 2 claws +2 (1d3+1), bite +0 (1d4+1)
Space/Reach: 5ft/5ft
Special Attacks:-
Special Qualities: lowlight vision
Saves: fort +5, ref+6, will +1
Abilities: str 12, dex 16, wis 12, int 2, con 14, cha7
Skills: Balance +11, Hide +9(+13 in tall grass), Jump +9, Listen +7, Move Silently +9
Feats: Improved Initiative(B), Multi Attack
Climate/Terrain: Any forest
Organization: solitary, pair or family(1 plus 2d3 kittens treat as cats)
Challenge Rating: 1
Treasure: none
Alignment: always neutral
Advancement: 3-4(Small), 5-6(Medium)
Level Adjustment: -

Skills - Wild cats have a +4 racial bonus to Hide, Listen and Move Silently checks, as well as a +8racial bonus to Balance and Jump checks. In areas of tall grass or undergrowth, its Hide bonus increases to +8.

Essentially, this is a "riding cat", though unlike a riding dog its advancement allows one to make larger cats, such as lynx and ocelots, that differ from cheetahs, lions, tigers, leopards, etc.

04-10-07, 12:10 AM		I don't have Stormwrack, so I don't know if there are already published statics for jellyfish. I consider them vermin, hope its okay to post vermin here.

Jellyfish
Tiny Vermin
Hit Dice: 1d8-1 (3 hp)
Initiative: +0
Speed: 0 ft, swim 10 ft (jellyfish mostly just drift)
Armour Class: 10 (-2 dex,+2 size.)
Base Attack/Grapple: +0/-9
Attack: tentacle touch +0 (0 + poison)
Full Attack: tentacle touch +0 (0 + poison)
Space/Reach: 0ft/0ft
Special Attacks: poison, improved grab
Special Qualities: mindless, blind, blindsense 10 ft
Saves: fort +1, ref -2, will -3
Abilities: str 2, dex 6, wis 4, int -, con 8, cha 1
Skills: Hide +9, Listen +7, Move Silently +9

Organization: solitary or school (20-100)
Challenge Rating: 1/4
Treasure: none
Alignment: always neutral
Advancement: 2-3(Tiny), 4-6(Small), 7-8(Large [man-o'-war])
Level Adjustment: -

Poison(Ex): Contact, Fortitude DC 14, initial and secondary damage 1d2 Str and 1d2 Con. The save DC is Constitution-based and includes a +4 racial bonus. A jellyfish delivers its poison with a successful tentacle touch attack.
Improved Grab(Ex): After delivering a successful tentacle touch attack against a foe its size or smaller, a jellyfish can immediately initiate a grapple without provoking an attack of opportunity.
Blindsense(Ex): A jellyfish is sensitive to underwater vibrations. Its blindsense only operates underwater.
Blind: Jellyfishes have no eyes, thus they cannot see and thus immune to gaze attacks and other purely visual assaults.

Jellyfishes don't so much attack as they drift into their prey. They sometimes wash up on shore, posing a hazard to barefooted commoners.
Their poison is unsually potent compared to their relative weakness.

Stormwrack has a jellyfish swarm, but not a single jelly. I like this...it means that I don't have to always throw a large swarm of them into battle.
