11-03-03, 10:39 AM		Alright! We are looking for stuff on the tauric races like Wemics, Bariaurs, Hybsils, centaurs, dracons, Driders, Formians, Lamias, Choldriths, Stingers, Abeils, Scorpionfolk, and anything else that has four legs and a humanoid torso.

11-04-03, 08:08 AM		i am assuming that you hae checked out the planescape sites? as well as the spelljammer sites?

they both have some useful material for you there :)
ebaatezu

11-04-03, 08:09 AM		dont forget the dracons too :) they are in spelljammer kinda like a centaur but is armored and is kinda reptilian in nature :) hope that helps
kirellagen

11-04-03, 10:32 AM		yah, currently i'm trying to find hybsil ECL. one online thing said ECL +6, but thats silly.

Kire
ebaatezu

11-04-03, 11:12 AM		:OMG!
+6 ecl

wow waaaay to wierd ..have you ever seen the darcons?
kirellagen

11-04-03, 11:29 AM		no, what are they like? If you like them, would you join this foundation?

11-04-03, 01:39 PM		::actually looks at Hybsil entry::

Small size
50' Speed
Pass w/o Trace, Dancing Lights, Mirror Image, and Jump 1/day each
See Invisible at will
Poison immunity
+4 racial bonus to Disable Device and Search in regards to outdoor traps
+2 racial bonus on Jump checks
+4 racial bonus on Wilderness checks
Mobility as a bonus feat
Ability adjustments: -2 Str, +6 Dex, +2 Con, +2 Int
+2 natural armour

That's a boat-load of abilities to account for. By-the-books an LA +5-6 is probably correct. I'm fairly lenient on Level Adjustment and even I would probably give them at least a +4.

11-04-03, 03:40 PM		I'll join!. That tauric template is really useful. I created this cretin the other day...

THE SHADOW STALLIONS
Invisible Stalker + Umbral Dire Horse
The infamous Shadow Stallion's terrorized a village in my campaign world. They looked like gigantic horses with night black incorporeal bodies. However when my party took them on it turned out they weren't the living dead, but a new breed of elemental that mimicked ghosts to scare other competitors out of their hunting ground. From waist they were actually invisible roughly humanoid shapes.
ebaatezu

11-04-03, 04:16 PM		Yeah I love the Dracons for I am a necromancer and they make wonderful guards, steeds, and baggage carriers :)
unfortunately I am not joking here ,I know of the dracons for my character at one point went out and hunted for their homeworld so that he could raise them as an undead army...
It was quite an informative campaign that one was :)

I don't join Foundations. I may assist or harangue them from time to time, but I am opposed to their existence on principle.

:behold:
Skar

11-05-03, 12:46 AM		I don't see why the Tauric races have such high ECLs. I remember when I first saw the stats for Wemics back in 2nd edition AD&D and they weren't that great. They got a slight bonus to Strength, an equal penalty to dexterity, a few bonus hit points at first level, a +4 bonus to AC (natural armor), a weak claw attack and the ability to jump for longer distances. Now I hear on the board that they have an ECL of 8 or 7 or something absurd like that!

What gives?
ebaatezu

11-05-03, 12:46 AM		oh oh oh does that make me #3 then??? lol :) i am in the top three!!!! yaaaay
but seriously
there are alot of 4 legged being out there i find most of them by having bots do my searched for me when i am offline that way when i come back online i have this nice big list of stuff to look at :)

i shall keep looking for other 4 legged beings as well for ya :)
Degobah

11-05-03, 12:53 AM		When I'm DMing, my favourite tauric creature is the Chuulithid...
no prizes for guessing what I crossed to make it...its only slightly illegal.
Go the Tauric foundation!
ebaatezu

11-05-03, 01:00 AM		hmmm... i thought this list was the taurica foundation???

Wemics get more bonuses than that now. As I recall they get a rather substantial Str bonus and I believe a Dex & Con bonus as well. Natural Armour didn't stack with regular armour in previous editions so it was worth less than it is now. I'm not sure what other bonuses Wemics get, but based on my previous experience with ECLs I can guess that their proposed ECL is overshot by at least 2-3 levels.

11-05-03, 01:39 AM		Thanks Tenzhi. Kirellagen, I did find this cool picture of a Hybsil here (http://www.battleduck.com/pages/imagepages/wotcimagepages/hybsil.html) and this site (http://members.tripod.com/dndrealmsofadventure/hybsil.htm) that seems to have some info on Hybsil.

I'll keep looking for more.

11-05-03, 07:11 AM		Thanks for letting me join kirellagen!. Dont forget to add the following onto the tauric lists...

Tenzhi

11-05-03, 07:46 AM		::looks up the Wemic now that he's at home::

Large Size
5 Monstrous Humanoid HD
Speed 40'
+4 Natural Armour
Natural Attacks: 2 Claws 1d6
Ability mods: +8 Str, +2 Dex, +2 Con, -2 Cha
+8 Racial Bonus on Jump checks

Some hefty advantages there, but one must consider the fact that they're already saddled with 5 Monstrous Humanoid HD that aren't as good as Class Levels. Still, I'd give them at least a +1 or maybe even a +2 Level Adjustment for a total ECL of +6 to +7 - looks like the estimates you heard before weren't that far off.
Simeon38X

11-05-03, 12:49 PM		Whats everyones actual favorite tauric monster?. I think kirellagen likes his Hybsils ;), but I might be mistaken. Mt favorite are definately Stingers, secondly Choldriths...

kirellagen

11-05-03, 07:18 PM		yah, i like hybsils.
Ebaatezu, yah, i'll update the list.

11-06-03, 09:13 AM		Flavor question. What do you think would make a good tauric if I were to use a Gnoll as the base creature?. I would prefer a non-magical creature...:)

baoban sith

11-06-03, 12:58 PM		A dire hyena (do they still have hyenadons?)
Orcy The Green Wonder

11-06-03, 03:58 PM		I wouldnt really consider Choldriths, Formians, or Abeils really Tauric races. They're entire bodies are insectoid or arachnid or whatnot. Instead of being more like two parts of something.
SkaterDM

11-06-03, 05:04 PM		OO! I want on! My first monster character was a dragonne/elf!
ebaatezu

11-06-03, 05:18 PM		I want a race that is half pitfiend and half giant poisonous snake

thats my race of choice!!!:D
Tenzhi

11-06-03, 08:44 PM		Originally posted by Simeon38X

Well, the obvious choice is some sort of big cat... but that would be redundant. I would suggest anything with hooves as the combination of "predator" with erstwhile prey has a certain charming irony, IMO.
Skar

11-07-03, 04:24 AM		I agree with Tenzhi. A Gnoll/Horse hybrid would be cool. All will tremble before the charge of the Gnolltaurs! Now can anybody think of good combination to go with a Cylops torso?
Tenzhi

11-07-03, 07:47 AM		I was thinking of Gnoll/Cows and the joys of fermented Gnoll milk...
ebaatezu

11-07-03, 08:19 AM		How about a troll/lizard,
or a bugbear/dire wolf?
Tenzhi

11-07-03, 08:21 AM		That's an interesting idea... a Trolligator. It's kind of like a Vrockodile but it's not.

Are you talking about the Cyclops from deities and demigods?. I think some kind of gargantuan or colossal creature would work. Do you have the epic level handbook, because these might work...

Bracyurus - a gigantic wolf
Phaethon - a quadupredal, powerful fire-elemental
Devastation Vermin - colossal ancient insects

A Snake Fiend is 10 feet tall,10 feet long, and weighs 2,400 pounds.
Combat
Snake Fiends are wily and resourceful fighters, using invisibility to gain the upper hand and biting at foes seemingly able to see them. They don’t hesitate to blanket an area with fireballs, and can call down the wrath of an inferno with meteor swarm.
A Snake Fiend's natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as evil-aligned and lawful-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Constrict (Ex): A Snake Fiend deals 2d8+26 points of damage with a successful grapple check with its tail.
Disease (Su): A creature struck by a Snake Fiend's bite attack must succeed on a DC 27 Fortitude save or be infected with a vile disease known as devil chills (incubation period 1d4 days, damage 1d4 Str). The save DC is Constitution-based.
Fear Aura (Su): A Snake Fiend can radiate a 20-foot-radius fear aura as a free action. A creature in the area must succeed on a DC 27 Will save or be affected as though by a fear spell (caster level 18th). A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected again by the same Snake Fiend's aura for 24 hours. Other devils are immune to the aura. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a Snake Fiend must hit with its tail slap attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can constrict.
Poison (Ex): Injury, Fortitude DC 27, initial damage 1d6 Con, secondary damage death. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Spell-Like Abilities: At will-blasphemy (DC 25), create undead, fireball (DC 21), greater dispel magic, greater teleport (self plus 50 pounds of objects only), invisibility, magic circle against good, mass hold monster (DC 27),unholy aura (DC 26); 1/day-meteor swarm (DC 27). Caster level 18th. The save DCs are Charisma-based.
Once per year a Snake Fiend can use wish as the spell (caster level 20th).
Supernatural Abilities: can rebuke/command snakes as a cleric does undead at level equal to hit dice.
Summon Snake(Sp): Thrice per day a Snake Fiend can automatically summon 3 large fiendish dire constrictors snakes or 1 huge Fiendish dire constrictor snakes.. This ability is the equivalent of an 8th-level spell.
Regeneration (Ex): A Snake Fiend takes normal damage from good-aligned silvered weapons, and from spells or effects with the good descriptor.



so what do you think there?

I want to do the same as above but for undead moncters like a nightwing and maybe a balor.....
Hell of a mix (literally)

I went through the taurics on this foundation but she's looking for something different, preferably something that work with a Psion or Psychic Warrior. Any suggestions?...

The other characters include...

Male CN Lizardfolk + Khaasta hybrid Fighter
Female CG Aasimar Rogue (with Lantern Archon ancestry)
Female LG Anthropomorphic Al-Mir'Aj Paladin
Male NG Aarokocra Druid
Female LG Tcho-Tcho Shugenja
as well as my NG Kobold Sorceress

There's always the Tarrasque...

Or perhaps a Purple Worm (there's nothing Shai about that Halud).

Is there a Mastodon file somewhere?

The infamous Shadow Stallion's terrorized a village in my campaign world. They looked like gigantic horses with night black incorporeal bodies. However when my party took them on it turned out they weren't the living dead, but a new breed of elemental that mimicked ghosts to scare other competitors out of their hunting ground. From waist they were actually invisible roughly humanoid shapes.

Which means, basically, that I want to join this foundation immediately.
The Ethereal Wickerman

01-08-04, 03:44 AM		YAY!, were back from the dead!...

What about this for an idea. I wanted a strange opponent for my players to go against. I thinking of making a Beholder + Desert Land Wyrm tuaric. So basicly its a Land Wyrm with a Beholder instead of its draconic head. What do you think?. I'll post stats later...

:behold:
Tenzhi

01-08-04, 04:05 AM		I was picturing a draconic front half sticking off the top of a beholder in place of eyestalks.

Or better yet, a Draco-Beholder with dragon heads (one of each of the chromatic and metallic) replacing its eyestalks...

One question, whats a Gauth?...:confused:

Incidently, you can find the Dragonbreath Beholder stats here: http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=161080

You could easily make a Gembreath Beholder I suppose. This might lead to a myriad of Dragonbreath Beholders (which I will now refer to as DBB's, because I hate spelling it over and over again!). You could use the same stats, just different dragon heads.

But we should probably move this topic elsewhere, because what started as a tauric beast has become totally different...:rolleyes:

01-30-04, 02:34 PM		Let me tell you, GREAT fun can be had with a Dekanter Goblin/Dire Wolf. Deadly, and cool.

Now, for the Mooncalf... I'd say either an Elf, because the mental image in my head is incredibly graceful, creepy, and cool in my head at the same time, or a Dwarf, because it seems to fit.

What about hybrids of true tauric race's (I mean centaurs, wemics, etc). It would make for some pretty intresting races.

I'll be back in a jiffy...:D

Standing before you is a strange tauric beast of muscular leonine proportions. It has the body of a thick bodied Lion, but from the neck upwards is a heavy-set muscular human with fangs and a thick mane of dark hair.

Wemia are a hybrid of Wemic and Lamia, both being tauric races with Lion-like features.

What do you think?...:)

04-15-04, 12:15 AM		Hello, My little ponies! ;) Let me be the first to welcome you to the new Guild House, or foundations board. All it costs to stay here is to send a magic item worth at least 20,000 GP to each of your GM's (me, sil and orcy) once per month.



Seriously: Welcome to the new board. You are now free of the shackles of having to stay on topic for the particular board you are in. Now you can role-play, discuss rules or just generally chat. Enjoy!

07-17-04, 09:57 PM		First of all, I want to apologize for not reading this thread before posting...please excuse any repeated ideas. :)

Looking through Savage Species one day, I came across the section on anthropomorphic creatures. I flipped back to the tauric template and had an idea: you take an anthropomorphic creature--say, a lion person--and use the tauric template to give it the body of--you guessed it--a lion! You could do it with any animal: a toad anthropomorph × (giant) toad, etc.

:cool:
