The Origins of Gut Tugger - Some Questions for James


Savage Tide Adventure Path


A few humble questions for you sir:
What was your process for creating Gut Tugger? I don't have TINH with me, but I recall that more was done to him than just adding levels in Rogue; his ability scores were bumped as well. Was this just the use of the Elite Array, or some other formula?

I ask because I am using felldrakes in one of my sidequests (albeit an amphibious strain raised by aquatic elves), and was thinking about augmenting one myself.

Thanks in advance for the info!

All I did to create Gut Tugger was to give him a few levels of rogue. Whenever a monster gains class levels, he automaticaly gets the Elite array, which boosts most of his stats, since any creature that has levels in a character class is assumed to be elite as far as ability scores go.

I thought so, but without his stats at hand I couldn't remember what he had to be sure. Thanks again!!
