Conan the Raptor's page

Older Thanos didn't have the wisdom of his current version. Now he does.

I fully expect Mjolnir to be reforged, if only because we all want the dino-killing hammer back.

Ssspeak for yourssself mammal...

I have a pet druid named Doyle

turns his druid upside down and shakes him until coins come out and the armor repo dwarf goes away

"Attack the man in the red shirt, not the man in the green shirt."

Hey, Mammal. You wana try commands NOT rooted in colors i can't see?

Akiton is a killocracy.

Now it's my planet.

Adide from the Core Rules deinonychus, the smaller velociraptor itself appears in Bestiary 4 and can be used if you own that book.

While not exactly common, there are a number of both species running around in the Society accompanied by creatures that think they're the owners.

My druid knows better

Let shillelagh work on enchanted greatclub and officially let ape forms wield weapons.

you apes wield weapons all the time.

Probably need a new Druid archetype that gives you wizard and cleric cohorts instead of an animal companion, though.~

Fine, but what are you going to give them in return for the downgrade?

Velociraptors are good companions because they have five attacks and pounce, but so do tigers.

Let me explain why your pretty little kitty is a fad and we ruled the planet for 123 million years.

Yes, the cat can pounce. If he can charge. But his overly large posterior needs a charge lane, free of corners, difficult terrain and the 5 or 6 other mouth breathing mammals you're running around the dungeon with NOT running up and getting in the way.

They always run up and get in the way.

How good you are at something under perfect conditions doesn't matter if those conditions rarely line up. When you want pounce to WORK, you ride the raptor.

My rule over the Killocracy of Akiton had better still be remembered with that 100 foot high statue with flames for eyes.

clever girl....

Scaley high fi... crap our arms are too short.

Curses foiled again

Where is that velociraptors symbol of our tribe?

That IS the symbol of our tribe you idiot.

Surely this should be VC Conan now?

Why take the demotion from lord of REDACTED?

"You can't climb, you don't have 2 free hands

*Runs back to previous humanoid encounter. RIP RIP RIP *

"There. Now I have six.

"Still need two

"chomp chomp chomp chomp BURP

In full recognition that this is a slippery slope argument, I must voice my concerns that this would result in players wanting to apply half a dozen convention boons (not earned through play) to their tyrannosaurus rex.

I fail to see the problem here....

50 points of damage? That's the small claw...

And no... the Paladin's mount, the Summoner's Eidolon, the Druids kittykat aren't Pathfinders, their masters are.

Says you. I have a wayfinder with a clear spindle ioun stone a cure light wounds wand and everything

Jurassic Park may well have had an influence, though I believe the Bestiary correctly notes that the deinonychus is the bigger, smarter one from Jurassic Park

LIES! ALL LIES!

FREEEEEDOOOOOOM!

Having the curse on you will technically mark you as dead.

Get extra slot and put the headband of int on.

Burps up a feathered Fedora and places it on his head

Anyone know whats up with some of the dinosaurs disappearing from the lists?

Burrrrrrp

Sprinkles BBQ sauce on David Bowles

Why downgrade to god when you're already perfect?

Yes, we're interested in the alignment issue. NOT how you managed to return us to our proper place in the world... *takes out quill and parchment*

2pp

And I hope you ate the dm in protest.

the animal companion has the highest diplomacy modifier.

I ROCKED that chelish tea ceremony, thank you.

It could also result in druids playing up more often, driving up their wealth by level, and resulting in them having even more wealth to deck out their AC in an even more powerful kit, leading to an upward spiral.

You say that like its a bad thing...

Gozreh's Tier 3 Exalted boon gives your animal comp +1 int/wis, +2 attack/damage, and +4 saving throws against cold/electric/fire.

... DOYLE! Wake up! You're going to church!

Social scenario, and the Druid's AC has a higher Charisma than he does.

I fail to see the problem there.

I just find that inconsistent with other powerful classes. Druids and other pet classes are also quite OP in PFS, and they have no restrictions whatsoever. I've seen GMs let druids drag a deinonychus all over a city and even to a party.

Shows up with party hat

So which one of you is planning on telling me no...?

offers you the severed head of one of your enemies
Hello, have you considered becoming a raptor?

And always remember the Commandment:

Thou shall not suffer an Animal Companion to live.

(this holds true for Eidolons and familiars too... and triply for Battle Cattle and War Cats).

Bring it mammal!

That's because your doughty faunic companion is trying to do all that with a Received Pronunciation accent, Paul. It just sounds smarter, that's all.

TRYING!?!?! My accent is flawless! Good day-to-you-SIR!

Curious about people's thoughts about a PC druid bringing a velociraptor into Prince Stephan II's ballroom...

Usually my druid insists I wear mistletoe and leaf armor barding and answer to "the druid".

Demeaning title...

Sifu Conan pounces.... dragon style!

Rip rip rip, rip em raptor style!

....The velociraptors were the PCs. That's why they are so...clever. And so much more interesting than the human characters...The campaign ended in a TPK.

Moral of the Thread:

If you play the Jurassic Park adventure path, make sure your party includes a velociraptor monk with Crane Wing.

Make it dragonstyle and you have a deal.

Charge pounce claw claw bite talon talon!

After The Waking Rune in hardmode, the following Finnish characters have become Seekers:

Herpus, Monk 12
Signifer Magnus Parnan, Wizard 12
Trinie Valrune, Sorcerer 12
Wilhelm Tuser, Inquisitor of Desna 12

Congratulations, and welcome back to the world of the living.

I too have met Aroden reincarnated at a table of mine. That pig gave the oracle his magical healing powers. Aroden is now god of pigs as well as humanity!

Pigs, humans, You both taste the same.

You can have my blackbelt in tail quan do when you pry it from my cold dead talons!

Pfffthss, I'm the star of this show. The druids the Chump. (-BNW)

Having heard Doyle talking to the creature in draconic, Wizzlefarb does the same, babbling rapidly as they run around the yard.

"So you understand draconic speech, eh? That makes you the smartest dinosaur I've ever met. Come to think of it, you're the only dinosaur I've ever met. But I'm pretty sure most velociraptor's don't understand any type of languages, so you must be pretty smart for a dino."

The saurian growls back something that might be "smart" in draconic.

Knowledge (Nature): 1d20 + 7

"So do you give people rides a lot? "

The creature rolls its eyes, stops to point at the saddle, and starts running up the steps.

"Is your halfling friend a druid or something that can communicate with you? And can you speak back, because this is an awfully one sided conversation so far. My name's Wizzlefarb. What's yours?"

Another series of growls follow, something like Rampaging Death.

"Well, thanks for the ride. That was fun!"

Welkragm.

Conan, do you ever successfully push your Pathfinder Companion?

All the time! My druid has the CMD of a damp dish cloth...

(BigNorseWolf)

On a slightly more serious note...

Not very often. I can usually get an animal companion to do what i want it to do with the existing tricks. Attacking/flanking pretty much covers moving a critter where i want it in combat, seek can get him to go somewhere ahead of me out of combat, heel covers following me out of combat, and fetch is good for macguffins/ disarmed weapons. You can wake up, set the animal to defend you or the party meathshield, and not have to worry about making the attack trick in combat (even if the animal may be attacking the more immediate threat rather thatn say the spellcaster in the back) Missing the AH checks because of a low cha only lasts a level or two, the stats you get last considerably longer.

On occasion it means the AC is doing what IT wants to do rather than what my druid wants him to do, especially at the early levels where you can theoretically miss a DC 10. Usually its funny followed by a growl that means "you first mammal" or "I killed it i keep it!"

If your druid has a Charisma score of 7, you are likely looking at a 20% chance of your animal ignoring you at 1st level.

So what? I'm the brains of this outfit anyway.

*Groooooowaaa grwaawwwy...yaaaah!*

Are you kidding me, I have better table manners than my druid!

WOOOOOT!Time to beat up my druid for his lunch money.

And to all a good fight!
