Tyrannosaur Unarmed Style Feats


Homebrew and House Rules


4 people marked this as a favorite.

To keep it simple and save me typing time, here are one sets o three style feats for a T-Rex. It takes a +3 BAB and Improved Unarmed Strike to get the first feat and then the next style feat becomes available. Anyway, here's the basic scheme of it.

Tyrannosaur Style
You have learned from the predatory attack methods of the T-Rex.
Benefit: You gain a +1 to attack and damage smaller targets with your unarmed strike.

Tyrannosaur Latch
You have adapted your unarmed strike to act like the biting jaws of a T-Rex.
Benefit: Whenever you hit a smaller target with two or more unarmed strikes in the same round, you may make a free grapple maneuver against that target without provoking an attack of opportunity.

Tyrannosaur Swallow
You have adapted your grappling style to mimic the crushing ferocity of a T-Rex's stomach.
Benefit: Whenever pinning a smaller target you deal an extra 1d8 damage when dealing unarmed damage.

I will be doing the Triceratops next:) But first I have to put my kids to bed.

Triceratops Style
You have learned to fight like a Triceratops who defends its young.
Benefit: When using the Aid Other action to provide an AC bonus to a smaller ally, you may take 10 on the attack roll and provide a +4 bonus instead of the normal +2. Additionally, when providing Soft Cover for a smaller ally, the AC bonus is +6 instead of +4.

Triceratops Guard
You have improved you ability to protect your smaller allies.
Benefit: In addition to the bonuses granted by Triceratops style, your smaller ally is also treated as having Partial Cover when you use the Aid Other action to protect them.

Triceratops Shield
Benefit: You can use Triceratops Style and Triceratops Guard as a move action instead of a standard action. You can also provide Total Cover to a smaller ally as a full round action as if you were a tower shield.

Interesting.

Not sure only being able to use the benefits on Small creatures is very practical though.

Because small creatures are harder to hit and should never be underestimated :D

Triceratops Style is only an Enlarge Person away from being pretty awesome.

EDIT: I just realized-- triceratops Style doesn't have anything to do with fighting unarmed... or fighting at all, actually. A wizard could take these feats to protect his familiar if he wanted. Or a ranger/druid/cavalier his animal companion?

In theory, yes. But they would need improved unarmed strike and a BAB +3 to get them:)

I realley enjoy these. Keep them coming.. Any chance for a velociraptor style?


My guess is a velociraptor style would look a lot like tiger. Both are bush-hunting predators.


Seems to me that these would be a lot less situational if the 3rd Feat in the tree gave some sort of "You are treated as one size category larger for the purposes of gaining this Style's bonuses" caveat or something.


What about an essentially reversed form of t-rex style, something about attacking things larger than your self.

Actually, you didn't list any prerequisites here.


These are pretty awesome. The size difference needed seems like it could make them a bit unwieldy, but I could totally see a druid wildshaping into a dinosaur for using these, or it can be done through plenty of other things.

And the idea of a large or huge creature using triceratops style to protect an ally seems kickass.

Now I'm imagining a Cavalier training his mount to use Triceratops style to protect him, and then using Mounted Combat to negate attacks on his mount with a Ride check.

Of course, Broken Wing Gambit lets Cavaliers do something like that already.

Now you need to add Pterodactyl, Mastadon, Saber-toothed Tiger and Dragonzord styles.

Was my reference to subtle?

I don't gedit. Was it x-men?

I kid, though seeing those styles would be pretty sweet. Colorful explosion behind anyone using the styles is mandatory. In fact, I think I just thought of the final feat in each tree!


I would imagine a tyrannosaur style to be more focused on making single attacks putting the monk's entire body behind it.

The Triceratops style is nice though.

Both of them seem a bit situational unless your monk gets enlarged frequently, or is already large.

I look at this phrase and "Bill Clinton" comes to mind, not dinosaurs.
