05-30-07, 01:51 AM Is there a turtle like race in oriental adventures? something with and ECL of +0 would be nice.

05-30-07, 08:56 AM Not totally sure but there is also the Crucians who show up a few places, they're tortoise people but have an LA.

You could probably create a Turtle/Tortoise Hengeyokai

How would I do that? I'm not good at making creatures or races.

05-30-07, 08:12 PM For their stat boost they would probably gain a +2 to Con, and they'd have reduced speed while gaining a swim speed. Perhaps Speed: 20 ft, Swim 20 ft. They would also gain Hold breath.

Animal form would probably grant natural armor, not sure beyond that.

05-31-07, 04:52 AM The shell might pose a bit of a problem. It's easy to represent it as a boost to NA, but then the problem is whether it should allow a hengeyoukai in hybrid form to wear armor. As for speed... I'd say hybrid 15 or 20, swim 15.

05-31-07, 02:01 PM Well, my DM is wanting me to play a ninja with this character, so the worry about armour is sort of moot for me.

05-31-07, 07:09 PM So, will your character be using katana, bo, sai or nunchaku?

05-31-07, 08:47 PM I was thinking of burning the feat for a katana.

05-31-07, 09:36 PM Hengeyokai Hybrid Form:

Animal Ability Modifier Special

Turtle Con +2 Speed 20ft, Swim 20ft; Hold Breath

Hengeyokai Animal Form

Animal Size Speed AC Damage Str Dex Con

Turtle | Tiny | 15ft, Swim 15ft |16 (+2 size +4 natural) | Bite 1d4-4 | 5 10 14

Hold Breath (ex): A Hengeyokai (Turtle) in Hybrid or Animal form can hold its breath for a number of rounds equal to 6*Con mod before it begins drowning.

Unless you plan on 2 weapon fighting or using a shield then don't waste the feat. Katana is better 2-handed anyway and if you already get martial weapons proficiencies for free then you can use the Katana 2-handed.

Oh, he'll probably go the two-weapon route.

That's the impression that I got.

06-14-07, 11:14 AM Dude, the first time I saw this, I got the impression of three or four turtles slowing it for the finish line. :D Shows what my imagination does for fun. Anyways, There could be an endless amount of things you could do to make a race that looks like turtles, in fact, wasn't the sahuagin kinda like a turtle? Or am I thinking of something else?
