For the Pathfinder RPG, I've been replacing the Track feat with Skill Focus (Survival), since Tracking is dead and many predatory animals had that as a bonus feat.

You cannot turn into a templated creature, so werecreatures are out.
Quick question how many of the monsters in the monster manual not open license? In the core MM: the beholder and gauth, carrion crawler, displacer beast, githyanki, githzerai, kuo-toa, mind flayer, 5 slaads, umber hulk, and the 3 yuan'ti are all missing from the SRD.
I have all of the SRD monsters contverted to the current Pathfinder version of the DMGII stat block format. NOT the Alpha Pathfinder RPG. I'll start doing that when Beta comes out. The pdf only includes the combat stat block and not the ecology, etc. If anyone has an interest in it I'd be willing to post it somewhere to share.
I'd like to see level adjustments go away and the strengths/weaknesses of a creature equal to their HD (something 4E is actually doing right). Templates would add HD of the creature type, so a half-dragon would add ?d12 HD. The problem is giving a balanced HD value equal to the strengths of the LA. I think 2 HD per LA should work for most templates. So a half-dragon would add 6d12 HD to the existing creature. This doesn't work too well with PCs and templates though. What happens if a character becomes a lich or contracts lycanthropy? Something like a minotaur (6HD +2LA) would either still be 6HD but a little waeker to make it equal to a 6th level character, or take it up to 8HD. |
