Ysoki Cheek Pouches Clarification


Rules Questions


I'm assuming the 1 bulk able to be stored in cheek pouches counts towards your total bulk carried in terms of calculating your encumberance level and isn't an extra free 1 bulk that can be used without it weighing you down.

Also when it says "they can transfer a single object between hand and cheek as a swift action." does this mean that you can take an object from your cheek pouch and place it in your hand as a swift action. For example using a swift action to "draw" a grenade from you cheek pouch instead of using a moveaction to draw it.

Yes, you're correct. The item's bulk still counts towards your carrying capacity. And you can draw the item as a swift action.

HEHE yup it is for stuff you want fast access too like grenades/healing serum/medical devices/hair combs.


I don't know about this. It mentions transferring a single item between hand and cheek as a swift action. Once you start having multiple items it should take longer.

If you have 5 identical grenades, pulling any of them doesn't matter. But if there is frag, smoke, fire, cold, shock it should take a moment longer.

And would there be a difference between hand and cheek, and cheek and hand? Is it more like a rodent version of sleight of hand? Make sure you get food before it is taken by the others. Stuff your face and digest it later.


Actually wondering if two ysoki can transfer from cheek to cheek as a swift/move action...re-enact the Bond Bullet Kiss with a fully loaded pistol and set of keys through sleight of cheek.


I'm wondering in the case of Healing Serum why bother putting in your hand and then swallowing it. Can I chew as a swift action instead? Save me the standard to open and drink.
