Rhine (sentient anthropomorphic rhinoceros)


    • Type: Humanoid (0 RP)
    • Size: Medium (0 RP)
    • Base Speed: 20 ft. (-1 RP)
    ○ Your speed is never modified by armor or encumbrance.
    • Ability Modifiers: +2 STR, +2 WIS, -2 CHA (0 RP)
    • Language: Common. Rhine can learn up to seven languages (except for Druidic or other secret languages). Rhine with high Intelligence scores can choose any of those languages as their bonus languages. (1 RP)
    • Thick Hide: +2 Natural Armor bonus to AC
    ○ Natural Armor: +1 Natural Armor bonus to AC (2 RP)
    ○ Imp. Natural Armor: +1 Natural Armor bonus to AC (1 RP)
    • Natural Attack (gore, 1d6): (1RP)
    • Powerful Charge (gore): (2 RP)
    ○ Whenever a Rhine charges using its gore attack, it deals 2d6 plus 1–1/2 times its Strength bonus as piercing damage.
    • Low-Light Vision (1 RP)
    • Subtype (Animal)*: Rhine are humanoids of the Animal subtype. An Animal is affected by mind-affecting spells and abilities as if it was a creature of the Animal type in addition to the humanoid type. If the ability does not affect creatures with an Intelligence higher than 2, the Animal gains a +2 bonus on their saving throw, but is otherwise affected by the ability as if their Intelligence were 1 or 2. (-1 RP)
    • Momentum**: Your base movement when making a Charge combat maneuver increases by 10 feet. Also, a Rhine does not suffer any penalties to their Armor Class when attacking on a Charge. If any line from your starting space to the ending space passes through a square that slows movement, or contains a creature (even an ally), you can still charge. Any space that blocks movement still prevents a you from charging, as normal. (4 RP)

*Subtype (Animal) is a situational penalty that I made up off the top of my head that is meant to portray the inherent animalistic nature of the Rhine. Just guesstimating the -1RP cost.

**Momentum is an advanced monstrous ability that I made up off the top of my head that is intended to highlight the instinctual charging capabilities of the Rhinoceros which the Rhine have evolved from. Just guesstimating the 4RP cost.

Total RP: 10.
(Even if Momentum and Subtype are off by a few points, it should still be in the same ballpark as Aasimar, and nowhere near Drow or Drow Nobles)

I like it, trying to do a thing with anthromorphic creatures and create demiplane when My Kingmaker campaign gets done


I thought this was going to be about the river. ^_^

HAH! I love it! I'm glad you guys like the concept ;)

I forgot about Rocksteady (and Bebop!).. My inspiration came from this guy when I was looking for character portraits to squander...

Down to business though: Do you guys feel it's balanced enough for a PC, and if you could: how would you change the race?
