Hey everyone. Thought:
Quickness (Su)
Although not particularly dexterous, a choker is supernaturally quick. It can take an extra standard action or move action during its turn each round.
Holy crap, that would make for a powerful spellcaster. 2 spells per round with no metamagic cost, starting at Level 1.
Problems:
-No listed LA. We all know there is an easy enough process to generate the LA, but this limits how many DMs would allow it.
-Only one good casting stat (+2 Wis it looks like, penalties to Int and Cha).
-Lost caster levels. With 3 HD, plus the natural armour and the Quickness, you're probably looking at starting off 6 levels behind the group (let's say LA +3 and 3 HD = 6 levels).
Still, if there is any way to get past any of this, a Choker could make a terrific cleric or druid. Polymorphing into one won't help since Quickness is Su. As an aberration, Choker is off-limits for Wildshape. Anyone have any other idea how to gain or emulate its Su ability?
I am curious if there is a way to take advantage of this for hypothetical char-op purposes. (Don't worry, not trying to slip it past a DM.)
