to steal ... an elephant


Advice


How would you steal a elephant namely as a bard (for fun) what class would you use?


Figured people would enjoy the fun concept of designing a elephant Stealer if we can make a build for a npc elephant Stealer


Item spell? I seem to recall the robe can have warhounds and mules, so then, why not Zoidberg? Or an Elephant?

So confuzzled so.try to go one thought at a time I wouldn't steal.zoidberg am I shoving a elephant in my robes and walking out the door? Am I having elephant get on my shoulders and pretend to just be a tall human walk out the door


I would grab the spell glibness and use my inherit bard-ly bluff score to overcome the +20DC for a highly improbable lie.
Convince the owners of the elephant that it is in fact my long lost son who was cursed by a wizard to take on the form of an elephant for some imagined slight.
Thank them for taking such great care of him and leave out the front door. Much less problems of angry people hiring wizards to find the culprit with divination magic when they think the elephant didn't belong to them in the first place.

Now were I made to actually "Steal" an elephant I would use a combination of Charm animal and handle animal rolls as my charismatic bard-y self to bring the Elephant up to Friendly.
Then I would use the spell carry companion to turn the elephant into a 2 inch tall wood carving and leave.
This plan of action would either require the help of a druid or a few scrolls of druid spells and a decent UMD score, which as a bard I tend to take for the shenanigans you can have with it.


Polymorph.
Nuff said.


The Shrink Item spell.


A 5th level Animal Speaker bard can have +4 to handle animal for elephants (and one other type) and have them start at indifferent at worst, speak with animals on elephants (and said other type of animal) at will, and make wild empathy checks using performance rounds, all while not losing any of the major bard abilities.

Then go with Movin's plan of a wand of Carry Companion. Charm Animal is no longer needed with wild empathy and high charisma.


Witches have the Feral Speech hex, which appears to allow unlimited Speak with Animals with a single very broad group(mammals, fish, birds, etc) at a time. With the right patron (deception or spirits), they can also gain invisibility (since people tend to remember thee crazy lady going *BBBBBPPPPHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHFFFFFFFFFFFFF* in front of the elephant cage).

You can make all sorts of interesting plans using these two abilities. Maybe bribe some other animals to cause distractions. And once you convince the elephant to come along, who exactly could stop you (ok, assuming there are no pesky heroes at the zoo that day)


So no putting the elephant on my shoulders and I love the tricking the elephant owners to believe they were cheated not my you but by previous owners ... what you do sneak in find a birthmark on elephant... or distinct mark with out seeing elephant with shop owners present tell em I'm looking for a elephant with...

Lol a pissed off two foot tall elephant trying to stomp on you keep stealing all kinds of animals then start a business of animal minis. That cost anywhere from double to triple prices (tell them it has magical features) which a detect magic would reveal a magical aura (tell them that it shrinks itself when its happy and grows when its not then when it grows after they leave the shop with it blame them for not keeping it happy having hidden a magical "fine print " in a contract you.made them sign "if new owner doesn't.keep animal happy must return for half price or suffer consiquences."

Edit: once item shrinked shrank shrunk use the make stuff permanant spell a 5 lvl wizard can cast them both well a 5th spell level wizard

Well, there are many ways to steal an elephant. But first you need to make a will save v. illusion to stop ignoring the elephant in the room.
