#1 heax Apr 09, 2008 19:27:15	I am currently running a game on Wednesdays at school for some fellow gamers; a friend of mine and I were attempting to build several theme build skeletons. We are stumped. Please help us build Kirby. The closest thing I can think of is an illithid savant with some disguise/glammer making it look like he's sucking a brain out of the victim's head instead of eating it with tentacles... Anybody have any ideas? Please?

#3 heax Apr 09, 2008 19:44:51	You need Something with Ex: Swallow Whole. That was considered. But having a huge sized (or larger) kirby defeats the purpose. Perhaps I should be more clear: Any published source. Non-epic. Medium-sized or smaller. Maybe large... but preferably not. Anything else is a go, other than Sarrukh, Candle of Invocation cheese, etc. I want to find a way to recreate swallow whole- except being able to swallow something larger than myself. Does that exist? Can we make it exist?

So ... then we need ... favored forms ... [round pink ball] and [purple worm]? Though you'd need to use draconic polymorph to get purple worm (16 HD), AND its not really (ex) then (since its dependent on the spell being up).

#8 nanshork Apr 09, 2008 23:54:44	The feat Gape of the Serpent in Serpent Kingdoms lets you Swallow Whole a creatue up to your own size category.
#9 bauglir Apr 09, 2008 23:56:11	Though you'd need to use draconic polymorph to get purple worm (16 HD) Why? Purple Worms aren't dragons. They're Magical Beasts.
#10 zarzak Apr 09, 2008 23:57:58	The feat Gape of the Serpent in Serpent Kingdoms lets you Swallow Whole a creatue up to your own size category. Since Kirby never has any problems swallowing things we would need a way to maximize his grapple check then.
#11 phaedrusxy Apr 10, 2008 0:04:24	Why? Purple Worms aren't dragons. They're Magical Beasts. Polymorph only goes up to 15 HD forms.
#12 bauglir Apr 10, 2008 0:05:47	Ahh, so it does. Thank you.
#13 tsuyoshikentsu Apr 10, 2008 0:29:15	Since Kirby never has any problems swallowing things we would need a way to maximize his grapple check then. Psychic Warriors are the best grapplers. Also, thanks to this thread I have the Kirby stage music from SSBM stuck in my head.
#14 nanshork Apr 10, 2008 0:30:05	Psychic Warriors are the best grapplers and I HAVE AN IDEA WAIT A SECOND. [ waits ]
#15 stickboy2323 Apr 10, 2008 1:40:05	OK, here's a really stupid idea which is completely unplayable but I thought it was kind of funny. Take an energy substituted (acid) fireball and apply the living spell template. Then add the sentry ooze template. You end up with a medium sized ball of acid that is intelligent (INT 2) and has the engulf ability. Not exactly kirby but about as close as I can get without resorting to high level spell casting.
#16 surreal Apr 12, 2008 3:27:03	Since Kirby never has any problems swallowing things we would need a way to maximize his grapple check then. It would make more sense to shrink his opponents. That would also make the "swallow whole" thing easier. (I also think Kirby could be a mutated Beholder or something)
