Jul 28, 2008 18:36:28 It says in races and classes that the new druid's main theme is that they shapeshift into different creatures for different purposes, such as a rat to infiltrate a room, a steer for overland travel and messaging, an elephant for breaking down things and an ape for artillery (;)). So my question to the forums is this: Did anyone else see Labyrinth?

Jul 28, 2008 22:06:17 I'd imagine that it would depend on what kind of poo your throwing. For example, rat poo would be a simple ranged weapon dealing 1d2 damage with a +3 prof bonus, whereas a backstreet boys album would deal 1d4 and have a +2. Both of them could be used as part of rapid-fire attacks as well, and would have the side effect of causing the dazed condition (flavored as vomiting) if the attack beat the fort def of the target creature. ;)

I don't think that they should receive, since poo is hard to train with efficiently. It's best that they are left as an improvised ranged weapon, really improvised

There is also the feat that adds radiant damage to poo attacks. Its called "Holy Crap", of course.

Okay.. as of yet there is NO mention of the 1d2's or 1d3's in 4e. Personally, I hope they never show up.

So, that being said, the minimum damage poo would do is 1d4. Strangely, this makes sense since rat/mouse poo is highly toxic, albeit you need a certain concentration.

There would also not be a proficiency bonus for poo, as it would just be an attack, most likely dexterity vs reflex, with a hit make a secondary attack, dexterity vs will, on a hit, the character is weakened (I got Poo in my mouth!) save ends.

The information therein is from early design and playtest, so things will probably change somewhat, but it's the source we have to work with.

Van Helsing Poo would do d10, possibly d12. Also known as: A load of crap.
