Race Builder, Suggestions for creating a "Rocket Racoon" race


Advice


So at my weekly gaming session, while waiting for the DM to get a couple things ready for the encounter, the rest of use were making plans when someone made an oddball comment in referance to "Guardians of the Galaxy".
Long story short, we started thinking of Pathfinder versions of the Guardians..... but we were having a really hard time trying to pin down Rocket..... Some comments were like a variant kitsune, were-coon was thrown in there... and so on.

Anyone have any ideas how best to make Rocket?
*Must be small*
*Must have something in the gunslinger range*
*Like golbins, can use med size firearms with no penalty*
*Stats i was thinking +2 dex/cha, -2 wis?
*Maybe crafting?

Anything that would help so i could bring this to our next session would be great!!

**OOoooOOOoooooo......YYYaaaaaaaAAAA**


The easiest way is to change the stats of ratfolk and let them get the racial feat. I'll link a similar thread later, but some people thought rocket was an awakened or anthropomorphic animal.


Here we go. This is a thread about a Groot race, but people mention Rocket.


I second the reflavored ratfolk. I was going to suggest that myself. Just let them qualify for the goblin gunslinger feat. (Because goblins cannot by default use oversized guns, only with that feat.) He's definitely got an Int bonus.

Maybe a bonus to hiding and/or stowing/drawing items, especially ranged weapons. Maybe just give it a racial ability to use Medium-sized ranged weapons, and maybe even reduced penalties for using Large-sized ranged weapons.

Definitely give it some fun racial favored-class bonus for alchemist and gunslinger levels.

Maybe +2 Dex/+2 Int/-2 Str.

Small-sized.

Maybe a Climb speed? Or a Balance-on-giant-tree-folk's-shoulders ability? Maybe just +2 to Acrobatics and Climb checks?


I think that the idea of a modified ratfolk is pretty neat, but the awakened anthropomorphic raccoon fits with the backstory more. You're GM could basically allow the Big Guns feat for raccoons. It makes more sense IMO, but it might be a little weird to play. At least you'll get all the cool raccoon abilities. Look it up.

Don't forget to add some cybernetics. Probably done by the Technic League.
