AC: 14 (+2 size, +2 dex) Base Attack/Grapple: +0/-12 Attack: Claw +4 melee (1d2-4) Full attack: 2 claws, and bite -1 melee (1d3-4) Space/Reach: 2 1/2 ft / 0 ft. Special Attacks: --- Special Qualities: Cuteness, Low-Light Vision, Scent Saves: Fort +2, Ref +4, Will +1 Abilities: Str 3, Dex 15, Con 10, Int 2, Wis 12, Cha 28 Skills: Balance +10, Climb +6, Diplomacy +16, Hide +14, Jump +10, Listen +3, Move Silently +6, Spot +3 Feats: Weapon Finesse CR: 1 Alignment: Neutral Cuteness (Ex): The dire kitten purrs constantly, and is so unbelievably cute, that all creatures within 60 feet of it who can see the kitten, or hear its purring, must make a Will save (DC 21, charisma-based) or walk over and pet the kitten. This only makes the kitten purr more loudly, increasing the DC of subsequent saves by +2. A creature affected by the kitten's cuteness regards any other creature within 60 ft of the kitten an enemy and are compelled to defend the kitten against it. As a result, it is not uncommon to see a dire kitten purring loudly, being petted by a big, burly fighter, surrounded by corpses.

I thought it would make you want to punt the cat for some people though.
cat_god 04-23-06, 10:27 PM	...What?
Suzaku455 04-23-06, 10:41 PM	I say for Evil people it would make them walk over and kick the kitten.
DarkWindtheShadowmancer 04-24-06, 05:07 AM	I like it! That could make for a really great trap for some unsuspecting adventurer. *rubs hands together evilly*
Yue Ryong 04-24-06, 02:48 PM	Nice. I would have given it 'Charm Person' at will, but the cuteness mechanic is more interesting. I'd say it were a slightly higher CR, perhaps as high as 3 or 4, due to the high (and rapidly raising) DC. Edit: I'd also make the 'Cuteness' a (Su) ability (nothing is THAT cute naturally), make the kitten a magical beast and up the HD for a few notches (so it survives to the point of the fighter killing his friends). I also think 'Dire' is wrong. Perhaps 'Beguiling', instead?
katarl 04-24-06, 02:55 PM	Oh I have *got* to get some of these for my wizard... I'll probably end up dropping the cuteness and massive charisma, though, and make it a 'serious' (ish) creature. You could have one as a familiar!
savant_warlord13 04-24-06, 02:55 PM	As a kitten, its size category should be diminutive. I would also hesitate to call it dire

It would need to be "magical beast" if it had a Su or Sp and a Ex has no business messing with free will but 'Cuteness' will happen anyway so no need for the rule.
savant_warlord13 04-24-06, 03:53 PM	Death'sAudit, did you even read the entire quote that you just responded to?
Darth Sephiroth 04-24-06, 04:40 PM	Make it a half-fiend and you've got "The Evil" from Sluggy, especially if you add class levels.
