Trox Grappler?

[monczkam]

So after checking out the 4th bestiary, I stumbled upon the trox and thought it would be awesome to make a grappler out of one.

I was wondering if it'd be better to make a tetori monk, or a fighter.

I was thinking tetori since it gets the monks large unarmed damage, but was hoping to get other opinions on the matter.

Also, having a grappler who can grapple someone, and then burrow under ground and leave an enemy there to suffocate sounds pretty great (if a little evil)

Sorry I don't have any good advice, but that is awesome. I never even thought of using their burrow aspect with grappling. I look forward to see where this is going as I will be making a character soon for WotR.

haha, yeah. I'm hoping to get some good opinions.

I was also thinking that since they can still make attacks while using their extra apendages for grappling, you could make some good use of the power attack and vital strike feats once you get greater grapple.

with regard to burrowing, I'm assuming it functions like the ratfolk burrowing teeth feet in that you don't leave a hole behind you when you burrow. Though I suppose if you do, you could dig straight down, leave them in a pit, and then dig your way back up (if you make a sot of 'U'-shaped tunnel.

Totally unsure but it would be really cool. I picture it being a very horrible thing to do. Yeah I would assume tunnels would collapse behind you as you crawl through it. If I were running a game and someone wanted to do that I suppose I would give the person being grappled an additional attempt to break the grapple right before they were taken underground. Not that the Trox wouldn't totally deny them the ability with their redonkulous strength.

Tetori monk is the best option, yes.

Fighter really sucks because you get the terrible fighter skills and saves, and tetori monk gets a similar amount of feats
