Currently in construction: ?.

Feel free to post suggestions.

As a note I am not trying to be 100% faithful to the games but instead just capture some of the feel of some of my favorite pokemon and make them into 3.X monsters. So charizard will probably have Cold Vulnerability instead of Cold Resistance and Fire Immunity instead of Fire Resistance, and probably no mention of electricity or rocks. Also I'm unsure about CRs :smallredface:

Edit: Now with more feats. Pokemon Companion (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=10632584&postcount=60)

Combat: A shelgon begins the attack with a powerful charge or a blast from its breath weapon. It uses its ability to call up wings of force to its advantage defending itself from enemy attacks and spells.
Protect (Sp): A shelgon may use Wings of Cover at-will, CL 7.
Breath Weapon (Su): A shelgon has a breath weapon which is a 30-ft cone of spiritual energy dealing 9d6 damage. A successful Reflex save (DC 19) halves this damage. This energy is especially damaging towards dragons and dragonblooded creatures. Creatures of the dragon type or the dragonblood subtype take an extra 50% damage from this attack. Once a shelgon has used their breath weapon they cannot use it again for 1d4 rounds.
Rock Crusher (Ex): A shelgon’s headbutt attack ignores hardness and DR of 20 or less.

Organization: Solitary, pair, or family (2 and 2-5 bagons)
CR: 18.
Alignment: Often Chaotic Evil
Treasure: Standard.
Advancement: 21-30 HD (Large), 31+ HD (Huge)
Combat: A salamence uses fear to incapacitate its enemies before proceeding to devastate them with its melee attacks. If threatened, especially if threatened with cold attacks, they will release their Draco Meteor attack before tearing through their foes with fang and claw.
Breath Weapon (Su): A salamence has a breath weapon which is a 50-ft cone of spiritual energy dealing 20d6 damage. A successful Reflex save (DC 30) halves this damage. This energy is especially damaging towards dragons and dragonblooded creatures. Creatures of the dragon type or the dragonblood subtype take an extra 50% damage from this attack. Once a salamence has used their breath weapon they cannot use it again for 1d4 rounds.
Draco Meteor: (Su): 1/hour a salamence may call a destructive burst of energy. This destructive energy takes the form of a ranged touch attack that can either be targeted at a creature or a line intersection and if it misses rolls on the grenade-like weapon tables from the PHB. If it hits it deals 10d6 bludgeoning damage to the target and explodes in a burst of draconic energy with a 60-ft radius dealing 20d8 untyped damage to all creatures and unattended objects (including walls, floor, and ceiling). A successful reflex save (DC 30) halves this damage, but a target that was directly struck by the ranged touch does not get to make a saving throw against this effect. This effect deals full damage to objects (instead of half). The salamence may not use this ability when it could not use its breath weapon, and if it uses this ability it cannot use its breath weapon for 5 minutes. The energy portion deals +50% damage to dragons and dragonblooded creatures. The salamence is immune to its own Draco Meteor, but not those of other salamences.
Protect (Sp): A salamence may use Wings of Cover at-will, CL 20.
Fearsome (Ex): A salamence may make Intimidate checks to demoralize opponents as a move action.
Frightful Presence (Ex): When a salamence roars, or attacks (including with Su abilities), all creatures within 100-ft who can see/hear (as appropriate) the salamence and have less HD than the salamence must make a Will save (DC 25) or be shaken for 5d6 rounds.
Powerful Claws (Ex): A salamence’s natural weapons deal damage as if it were two size categories larger than it is.

Notes:
Is the LA accurate?

Charmander/meleon/izards as PCs:
Each racial hit die gained also increases breath weapon damage by 1d6.
Each odd HD after 3rd adds +2 Str
Every 3rd HD after 3rd grants +2 Cha
Con and Int increases with size and change in type (9 and 18 hit dice respectively). +2 to both at 9, and +4 Con, +2 Int at 18 hit dice.
Each odd HD past 3rd grants +1 to natural armor; each HD after 9th grants +1 natural armor.
At 9 Hit Dice you become a charmeleon (although these changes should already have given you the stats) and at 18th you become a charizard and gain wings and flight.

I happen to love the Pokemon games and can list pretty much every pokemon from the first four generations off the top of my head. I also like the idea of playing a Pokemon game with D&D 3.5-esque rules. I will be watching this project closely.

A few suggestions:

You should probably come up with some sort of Evolution mechanic, even if it's only triggered upon gaining X Hit Dice.
Having only half of a Hit Die, I think that Bagon's BAB should be +0 (I could be wrong, though).
I'm having a really hard time imagining a Shelgon managing to jump 10ft in order to use Leap Attack. Granted, this is totally doable with the power of Anime Physics!!!1!, but my suspension of disbelief only goes so far.
Improved Flight seems like a wasted feat on a Homebrew monster; you could just make Salamence's flight Good instead of Average from the get-go.
I'm pretty sure that the Powerful Claws ability is totally meaningless. Natural Weapon damage uses size as a guideline, but it can start out as whatever you want it to be. It's a Homebrew, remember, and there is precedence. A crocodile's bite damage is one die size higher than average, for example.

Otherwise, I'm impressed. Good job, Zaydos.

Thanks for the critiques.

I left direct mechanics for evolultion out (I left all fluff out and it's a little too close to fluff), but I made the advancement charts so that bagon capped 1 HD below shelgon's base HD and shelgon 1 HD below salamence.
Honestly I didn't know of any creature with good BAB that had 1/2 HD so I rounded up because of power reasons, but it bothered me to do so since I don't know what's right. Thinking about changing it to +0 since that's more likely correct.
They're pokedex talks about leaping (albeit mainly off cliffs) and they charge so I went with leap attack. They are a quadreped, but they are known for trying to fly by jumping.
It was to compensate for Power Attack as a bonus feat that they retained from bagon. Also it means they can't get perfect by swapping a single feat (not that that would be too bad).
Yeah, I just knew if I didn't I'd have to explain that there are several creatures that don't follow those guidelines. Also this helps if it gets size changed by magic or is advanced to huge, or if it takes Improved Natural Weapon (actually it might make it illegible for Improved Natural Weapon... I wouldn't mind that).

Like I said, thanks :smallsmile:

Gallade communicate primarily via telepathy, although they understand and can speak common.
Combat: A gallade uses his psionic powers to augment his physical prowess in single combat. They often travel the lands acting as knight-errants.

It’s IL is 11 and if it takes levels in another martial initiating class it adds +8 to its IL in that class instead of +5.

Gallade naturally know the following martial maneuvers, but may only have 3 readied at any time:
Maneuvers Known:
Diamond Mind: Action before Thought, Greater Insightful Strike, Mind Over Body, Moment of Perfect Mind.

Against a creature with the Psionic subtype it’s threat range is decreased to 20/x2.
A gallade’s unarmed strike counts as magic for the purposes of overcoming DR.

Naturally Psionic: A gallade gains 3 bonus power points.

Skills: A gallade gains a +4 bonus to all Sense Motive checks (included above). They gain a +4 bonus to Concentration checks when psionically focused and gain a +4 bonus to Concentration checks to gain a psionic focus.

Notes and Comments:

CR: The CR for kirlia and ralts are lower than that of a psion of the equivalent level because in ralts's case an elite array is significantly better than its racial stats and abilities and in kirlia's case an elite array + NPC gear is stronger than its racial stats and abilities. In both cases they do not gain a new level of powers. Gardevoir is possibly a little stronger than an unoptimized psion of its CR.
LA: I'm not sure about the LA; I think it might be too low. If anybody has comments or critiques on this please tell me. Once I am sure on LA I'll probably add an actual Savage Species progression. As a note realize that a kirlia can't buy off its LA till 9th level, and that a gardevoir can't till 17th as racial hit dice don't count towards Character Level for LA buy off.
Gallade: Coming soon, but will be a little more work and I thought I'd go ahead and get these up.

Kill it With Fire (Ex): A scizor’s Spell Resistance does not apply against spells or effects with the fire descriptor.

Evolution:
This could work several ways for my game I think I'd use the following:

Long ago a cabal of transmuters experimented upon these creatures. They developed a ritual that infused the wild scythers with powerful armor. While this armor slowed their movements, it also gave them the ability to make deadly powerful attacks and resistance to magic and toxins. The exact secrets of this ritual are now lost to time, but every occasionally a wizard stumbles upon fragments of this broken lore. The ritual requires a 9th+ level caster, a live scyther, rare incense and adamantine ore worth 1000 GP. It also requires the following spells: Permanency, Polymorph, Mage Armor, and Greater Magic Weapon. The affected scyther becomes a scizor and its type changes to Construct gaining both the Living Construct and Augmented Magical Beast subtypes. In addition it gains +2 HD, +4 Str and Con, -6 Dex, SR 10 + HD, +5 natural armor, +4 on saves versus mind-affecting effects, DR 10/adamantine, its loses its flight speed but gains a +30-ft increase to its land speed, it gains fire vulnerability and the kill it with fire trait, and its arm-blades become adamant claws which deal damage as a greatsword meant for a creature of its size with a 19-20/x4 critical. They may also retrain all their feats.

The newly created scizor is automatically helpful towards its creator and will obey simple commands. Should events cause a rift to develop between them, then the scizor may make a Will save (DC 15 + creator's primary casting stat) to disobey. This ability does not imbue the scizor with the ability to understand complicated orders. This ritual does not seem to function on any creature other than scizors.

In some regions these creatures seem to be developing naturally. The exact means are unknown (i.e. potential plot hook; possibly terrorizing a dwarven adamantine mine)

Scythers as Animal Companions:
A character with the Pokemon Companion feat of at least 7th level may select a scyther as an animal companion as a druid 6 levels lower, if at least 10th level they may select a scizor as an animal companion as a druid 9 levels lower.

Notes:
CR: I'm a little iffy on it.
Animal Companion: Would it be balanced for a feat to add scyther and possibly scizor to a druid or ranger's animal companion list? If so what would be an appropriate level modifier?

Yeah, I just knew if I didn't I'd have to explain that there are several creatures that don't follow those guidelines. Also this helps if it gets size changed by magic or is advanced to huge, or if it takes Improved Natural Weapon (actually it might make it illegible for Improved Natural Weapon... I wouldn't mind that).

How does it help if Salamence grows, exactly? 4d6 improved by one size category is always going to be 6d6, regardless of whatever ability let it hit 4d6 in the first place.

It doesn't make Salamence ineligible for Improved Natural Attack, but they don't stack, either. One improves the attack by one size category, the other by two. It's similar to the wording found in Powerful Build and Monkeygrip, and they don't stack for the same reason.

I'm not sure that Scyther and Scizor should have such low Intelligence scores... I'm not sure any pokemon should, to be honest. Also, in the games/shows (unsure about the manga) Scyzors can't fly, but their land speed is fairly high. They can still sort of hover, reducing their effective weight and allowing them to move much more swiftly than they appear able to.

You're right they only fly in the anime, which I don't even watch. I will fix that.

Can we have a Raticate, please, Zaydos? Ideally, as something a bit more interesting than a slightly differently statted dire rat? Something powerful and aggressive in combat, to reflect Raticate's 'rabid attack dog' image and play-style? Maybe give it trip, like a wolf? Or attach, so that it can cling onto PCs with its bulldog-like jaws?

Vaporeons do not speak any language, although they may be communicated to as if they were animals for spells and effects that allow communication with animals. If they allow communication only with a limited selection of animals, if those include foxes they function with vaporeons as well.
Combat: A vaporeon prefers to only fight in the water where it can take advantage of its water healing. It will use Acid Armor to increase its defense to give it time to heal, and if truly hard pressed will use all three daily uses to become near invulnerable for several rounds.
Water Healing (Su): A vaporeon gains fast healing 5 as long as it is in contact with water.
Acid Armor (Su): 3 times per day a vaporeon may coat itself in an armor of hardened slime granting it a +3 enhancement bonus to AC and DR 3/-. Doing this is a swift action, and lasts for Con modifier rounds. If it uses this ability again while a previous use is still active it instead increases the enhancement bonus and DR granted by the previous ability and resets the duration.
Skills: A vaporeon gains a +4 bonus to Move Silently checks. A vaporeons swim speed gives it a +8 on Swim checks.
Vaporeons as familiars: An vaporeon may be obtained as a familiar through the use of the Improved Familiar feat, and a caster level of at least 7th. It grants its master an increase in effectiveness of spells that grant natural armor; whenever a vaporeon’s master casts a spell that gives an enhancement bonus to natural armor that enhancement bonus is increased by 1.

Leafeons do not speak any language, although they may be communicated to as if they were animals for spells and effects that allow communication with animals. If they allow communication only with a limited selection of animals, if those include foxes they function with leafeons as well.
Combat: Leafeons see no reason to fight any creature. If harshly pressed they will lash out with their leaf-blade using it to cut through foes.
Leaf-Blade: A leafeon has a razor sharp, and steel-hard, leaf-like blade upon its head. This blade has a 18-20/x3 critical.
Photosynthesis (Ex): A leafeon does not need to eat, instead it simply needs at least 2 hours in direct sunlight each day and requires 4 times the usual amount of water for a creature of its size. A leafeon gets a +2 on Fort saves while in direct sunlight.
Skills: A leafeon gains a +4 bonus to Move Silently checks. A leafeon gains a +4 bonus to Hide checks in forests.
Leafeons as familiars: A eon may be obtained as a familiar through the use of the Improved Familiar feat, and a caster level of at least 7th. It grants its master the ability to score critical hits against creatures of the plant type.

Glaceons do not speak any language, although they may be communicated to as if they were animals for spells and effects that allow communication with animals. If they allow communication only with a limited selection of animals, if those include foxes they function with glaceons as well.
Combat: Glaceons prefer to avoid creatures entirely, hostile or not. When spotted by a hostile force they lash out with their ice shards. When spotted by a friendly creature they simply run.
Ice Shard (Su): A glaceon can create and launch shards of ice. These are ranged attacks with a range increment of 30-ft and can be used at up to 5 range increments. They deal 1d6 + Con slashing damage and 1d6 cold damage.
Skills: A Glaceon gains a +4 bonus to Hide and Move Silently checks. When in snow their bonus to Hide increases to +8.
Glaceons as familiars: An glaceon may be obtained as a familiar through the use of the Improved Familiar feat, and a caster level of at least 7th. It grants its master a +2 on saves versus effects which deal cold damage or have the cold descriptor.

Evolution:
The exact process which changes an eevee into one of its several evolutionary forms is unclear. It would seem that simply being happy enough will cause it to transform into either an umbreon or an espeon. Exposure to a source of fire, lightning, or water magic can cause the transformation into flareon, jolteon, and vaporeon respectively. Leafeons seem to develop in druidic woods, adapting to the strong flow of magic there. Finally glaceons crop up around sights strong in ice magic, the magic powers warping them into their new forms..

Zaydos, you need a simpler way to do this. Do it like Mystery Dungeon. Don't make all lines available. Have like 30 (max (I suggest one of each type at least)), do everyone else as villains, and maybe a few more as playable upon request.

In 3.5 all creatures are statted the same way... There's no difference between antagonist and protagonist.

Well, different strokes for different folks, I suppose, but personally, I'm so sick of legendary Pokemon.

There seem to be more and more and more of them, all the time, and there's only so many times you can fight and capture a magical beast with phenomenal, god-like, world-altering powers before the novelty of it wears off.

I'd much rather duel a trainer with an interesting team composed of his or her favourites than: Arceus, Mewtwo, Darkrai, Kyogre, Groudon and Zekrom - all day, erry day. :smallsigh:

Oh yeah, the only legendaries I really like are Mewtwo, Registeel, Dialga, and Rayquaza. In fact Palkia or Kingdra are tied for my least favorite dragon (my favorite type). Giratina is close to last, and I often forget Latios and Latias are even dragons.

Blynkibrax

2011-03-23, 09:38 AM

Ha, actually, I'd forgotten Giratina, which is ironic, as its one of the few legendaries I have time for, mainly because of its design - it's a ghost/dragon dinosaur-centipede monster! :smalltongue:

http://www.scshop.com/~ritaxis/ has been one of my favorite sites for Pokemon even though it has been updated in ages. Not many of the creatures were completed, but I did like the way the evolution played into the advancement. See for example Bulbasaur to Ivysaur to Venusaur.

Debby

Actually, it seems not to have been abandoned, but moved to here (http://www.dnd-wiki.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_d20_(3.5e_Sourcebook)) instead (of course, it seems to have been abandoned since.). While fairly complete, the balance and playability of the system are suspect. Having only 1 base class (Pokemon Trainer) makes Dex and Cha worth more than anything else, and having pokemon do all the fighting makes Con worthless. It needs an overhaul.

I'd also like to request the Regis (RegiRock, RegiIce, RegiSteel, and RegiGigas). Since they're essentially golems already it's almost like they belong in D&D anyway.

Edit: Also, your link to the Eeveelutions seems to be an edit link rather than a specific post link.

How about TMs?

I had an idea for something similar a few months ago - a series of salient abilities, similar to Pokemon-style TMs, that could be added to monsters to give them new abilities (and a CR adjustment for each one), but never got to put it into practice.

If anybody likes this idea, feel free to run with it, because it's always a lot of fun to give new abilities to monsters and give your players a shock.

This. So much this.

The hardest thing to do would be the mechanic by which it works. Once that's done, the only thing left is to determine the particulars of each ability which should be fairly easy for each one.

The way D&D works and the way Pokemon games work are two different things, so I expect some TM moves would be totally different.

Dig, for example, might give a monster a burrow speed equal to its landspeed.

Some special attacks might work like a spell-like ability, thundershock, for example.

Flamethrower, hyper beam and moves like that could easily be reconfigured into breath weapons.

CR: 1/3.
Alignment: Always good
Treasure: Standard.
Advancement: 1-2 HD (Tiny)
LA: +2

Togepis understand sylvan but do not speak.
Combat: Combat is always a last resort for a togepi, relying instead on its charming visage to keep it out of harm. If that fails they release the power of metronome hoping its wild magic can help save them.
Charming Visage (Su): Any creature within 60-ft which sees a togepi must make a Will save (DC 14, Charisma based, includes ability focus) or be unable to harm it or attack it in any way. They cannot even order others to harm it. This effect lasts for as long as they can see the togepi and 1 hour thereafter, or until the togepi attacks the affected creature. On a successful save they are immune to that togepi’s charming visage for 24 hours. This is a mind-affecting compulsion.
Metronome (Sp): Performs a random spell from the following list, although DMs are encouraged to add more (following list is limited to SRD):
1. Burning Hands
2. Sleep
3. Color Spray
4. Magic Missile
5. Shield (self only)
6. Mage Armor (self only)
7. Grease
8. Expeditious Retreat
A togepi may use metronome 3 times per day and it is the equivalent of a 0 level spell. Caster level 1.
Wild Empathy (Ex): A togepi can use wild empathy as a druid with a +0 racial bonus on the check.
Skills: Togepis have a +4 racial bonus to Sense Motive checks.
Togetic
Tiny Fey
Hit Dice: 3d6 (10 hp)
Initiative: +1
Speed: 15-ft, fly 30-ft (good)
Armor Class: 15 (+2 size, +1 Dex, +2 natural), t 12, FF 14
BAB/Grp: +1/-10
Attack: Headbutt +4 melee (1d3-3)
Full Attack: Headbutt+4 melee (1d3-3)
Face/Reach: 2 1/2-ft/0-ft
Special Attacks: Metronome
Special Qualities: Wild Empathy +6, Healing Wish, Bestow
Saves: Fort +1, Ref +4, Will +5
Abilities: Str 4, Dex 13, Con 10, Int 11, Wis 14, Cha 17
Skills: Diplomacy +9, Heal +8, Listen +10, Sense Motive +12, Spot +10, Use Magic Device +9.
Feats: Weapon FinesseB, Dodge, Alertness
Environment: Temperate Plains.
Organization: Solitary
CR: 1.
Alignment: Always good
Treasure: Standard.
Advancement: 4-5 HD (Tiny), 6-8 HD (Small)
LA: +2

A togetic speaks sylvan.
Combat: Togetics prefer to avoid combat, instead aiding their allies with their healing abilities. If pressed they release their metronome hoping for the best.
Metronome (Sp): Performs a random spell from the following list, although DMs are encouraged to add more (following list is limited to SRD):
1. Scorching Ray
2. Glitterdust
3. False Life
4. Invisibility (self only)
5. Web
6. Melf’s Acid Arrow
7. Fog Cloud
8. Haste (self only).
A togetic may use metronome 3 times per day and it is the equivalent of a 1st level spell. Caster level = HD.
Healing Wish (Su): A togetic can, Charisma modifier times per day, release a burst of positive energy. This energy heals allies within 60-ft 1d6 per HD the togetic has. This energy has no effect on undead and construct allies or enemies, on allies with tomb-tainted soul, and only half effect on living construct allies.
Bestow (Su): A togetic can, as a standard action, teleport an object it holds which weighs no more than its maximum load, into the hands of a willing creature within line of sight. This is a teleportation effect.
Wild Empathy (Ex): A togetic can use wild empathy as a druid with a +3 racial bonus on the check.
Skills: Togetics have a +4 racial bonus to Sense Motive checks.

Togekiss
Medium Fey (Air)
Hit Dice: 6d6+6 (27 hp)
Initiative: +3
Speed: fly 100-ft (perfect)
Armor Class: 21 (+3 Dex, +3 natural, +5 deflection), t 19, FF 19

Feats: Weapon FinesseB, Fly-by Attack B, Improved Initiative, Great Fortitude
Environment: Temperate Plains.
Organization: Solitary
CR: 4.
Alignment: Always good
Treasure: Standard.
Advancement: 7-9 HD (Medium), 10-12 HD (Large)
LA: +2.

A togekiss speaks sylvan and either celestial, auran, or common.
Combat: Togekiss prefer diplomacy to combat, but if a creature is harming those beings that a togekiss sees as its charges it will lash out with its aura sphere and air slash attacks to defend its charges.
Metronome (Sp): Performs a random spell from the following list, although DMs are encouraged to add more (following list is limited to SRD):
1. Fireball
2. Lightning Bolt
3. Dispel Magic
4. Displacement (self only)
5. Vampiric Touch
6. Magic Circle against Evil (centered on self)
7. Call Lightning
8. Poison
A togekiss may use metronome 3 times per day and it is the equivalent of a 2nd level spell. Caster level = HD.
Fly-by Strike (Ex): When using fly-by attack to make a melee attack while moving a togekiss does not provoke attacks of opportunity from its target and deals +3d6 damage.
Aura Sphere (Su): 3 times per day, as a standard action which provokes attacks of opportunity, a togekiss may launch an orb of force at a target. It unerringly strikes its target, as the spell Magic Missile (and is blocked by effects that block Magic Missile) and deals 3d6 force damage +1d6 per 2 HD that the togekiss has beyond 6.
Air-Slash (Su): A togekiss can, as an attack action, release a cutting blade of air that deals 2d6 + Con modifier slashing damage as a ranged touch attack with a maximum range of 60-ft. This attack has a threat range of 17-20.
Healing Wish (Su): A togekiss can, Charisma modifier times per day, release a burst of positive energy. This energy heals allies within 60-ft 1d6 per HD the togekiss has. This energy has no effect on undead and construct allies or enemies, on allies with tomb-tainted soul, and only half effect on living construct allies.
Preternatural Grace (Su): A togekiss adds its Charisma modifier to its AC as a deflection bonus.
Wild Empathy (Ex): A togekiss can use wild empathy as a druid with a +6 racial bonus on the check.
Skills: Togekiss have a +4 racial bonus to Sense Motive checks.
Togepi and Togetic as familiars:
A good aligned character with the improved familiar feat of at least 3rd level can select a togepi as a familiar. At 7th level they may, by spending a day playing with their familiar cause it to become a togetic. A character with a togepi or togetic familiar gains a +2 bonus on diplomacy checks.

To acquire a togekiss requires finding a fabled Dawn Stone and a special quest and is left up to the DM's discretion. I would advice 13th+ minimum level.

Togepi/tic/kiss as PCs:
A togepi may either advance by hit dice or by class levels; if they choose the former, then at ECL 5 they become togetics, and at ECL 8 they become togekiss. As a note this monster class does not perfectly represent the togepi presented above as 3 levels with 1/2 HD is suicidal to say the least. Once a togepi has chosen to advance via hit dice it must finish the first 5 levels of its monster class for this reason. Once togetic stage is reached it is free to multiclass out.

Togepi and Togetic are both just on the line of height/length for their size (1' and 2' respectively) but one is above on weight and the other far below (togetic is less than twice the weight of togepi) so I put them both as tiny.

Togekiss is 4' 11" and well into the medium size category.

The way D&D works and the way Pokemon games work are two different things, so I expect some TM moves would be totally different.

Dig, for example, might give a monster a burrow speed equal to its landspeed.

Some special attacks might work like a spell-like ability, thundershock, for example.

Flamethrower, hyper beam and moves like that could easily be reconfigured into breath weapons.

I'm aware of that. I'm just saying that the mechanic by which a creature can be granted an ability it does not possess naturally would be the hardest part.

And of course each ability would need some manner of compatibility requirement.

I.E. Dig might require a creature to be capable of burrowing in the first place, Iron Tail would require the creature to possess a tail, Flamethrower should either require the creature to have a) a fire affinity or b) an existing breath weapon.

Stuff like that.

Just remembered I did a lucario as a playable race + PrC for iconic abilities before (the thread is old so don't post in it) and thought you guys might like it. It's not exactly in line with things like I've been doing them here (no racial hit die and no riolu form), but might as well let you know.

Pokemon Companion
You call a pokemon in the place of a more normal animal companion.
Requirements: Ability to call an Animal Companion, Wisdom 13+
Benefit: You can select a pokemon that is marked as being able to be selected with this feat as an animal companion. In addition any spells you cast that only affect animals affect it as well regardless of type.

How about Scyther's poor, forgotten, unappreciated big brother, Pinsir? I see a race of them, monstrous humanoids, living in the wilder places of the world, like ogres or trolls? Maybe they'd have some kind of empathy for vermin, since they're bug-types? And those enormous pincers on their heads would require some tasty form of special attack - Improved Grab, Constrict, perhaps?

I dunno, I'm just throwing out ideas.

Necro_EX

2011-03-26, 07:16 AM

Requests? You know I'll have a few.

Sableye could make a pretty interesting one, and they're found in one of the most common terrains you'll be in--underground.

Banette would also be pretty great.

Gothita line, mayhap?

Abra, perhaps?

Must be obvious I dig myself some psychic/dark/ghost pokemon.

Gotta say, I dig that Scyther, btw.
Also, those Eeveelutions, it's going to be hard to not use those next time I insert a wizard into my campaign.

Looks pretty good. I'd reccomend the Poocheyena, Growlithe, and Houndoor lines, and maybe the Zoroark lineage.

Other ones to consider:

-Lotad
-Caterpie
-All other starting pokemon lineages

Still, good work!

What about evolution mechanics for playing pokemon as a PC?

2011-03-26, 07:35 PM

What about evolution mechanics for playing pokemon as a PC?

Added a Savage Species style progression to the togepi line, though it makes me... unhappy as it doesn't reflect that they don't evolve by hit dice in the games (maybe a special quest?:smallconfused:). Added lines in the Charmander as player characters indicating at what racial hit dice they evolve (already parcelled out most of the changes).

Edit: Ralts doesn't still because I need to finish gallade to sort that one out.

Zaydos

2011-03-26, 09:31 PM

Finally did gallade. Little shaky about its LA (might should be +3) but decided to let people look it over first.

Dusk Eclipse

2011-03-27, 12:16 PM

Gallade seems quite powerful at a glance, it is a psy-gish in can ( and quite good too, to boot).

And while the LA + RHD would make me consider if I shouldn't do anything else, the stat modifiers and the maneuvers are extremely alluring.

+4 Str, +8 dex + 6 con, +6 int, +4 wis, +4 cha (assuming the -11 to even scores, -10 to odd scores) are incredibly good (heck I could make a good monk with those modifiers).

Oh and I don't see how many maneuvers a Gallade can ready, and since you don't mention it, I suppose actual Psion levels don't stack with it's natural manifesting am I right? What about classes that advance spellcasting (say Slayer)?

Zaydos

2011-03-27, 12:21 PM

Gallade naturally know the following martial maneuvers, but may only have 3 readied at any time:

I think I might need to up the LA to +3 but I'm not sure. As for the racial manifesting I think it would work like driders or other creatures that cast as a Sorcerer X, if they take levels in Psion (Nomad) they add them to their racial level.

Crescent Horn: An absol’s gore attack deals slashing and piercing damage and has an 18-20/x3 critical.
Mind Shielding (Su): An absol is continuously protected by a Mind-Blank effect. As a supernatural ability this cannot be dispelled.
Divination (Sp/Su): An absol may use Divination as a spell-like ability 1/day with a CL of 5. In addition they sometimes can sense omens of impending doom (a DM can use this to provide hints if they wish or ignore it if they don’t).
Skills: An absol gains a +2 bonus to hide, listen, move silently, and spot checks. The bonus to Spot and Listen is lost when in a dead magic or anti-magic zone.

As Animal Companions
A druid with the Pokemon Companion feat may select an absol as an animal companion at 4th level (with a -3 modifier to their druid level for the determination of animal companion effects and abilities).

Actually, it seems not to have been abandoned, but moved to here (http://www.dnd-wiki.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_d20_(3.5e_Sourcebook)) instead (of course, it seems to have been abandoned since.). While fairly complete, the balance and playability of the system are suspect. Having only 1 base class (Pokemon Trainer) makes Dex and Cha worth more than anything else, and having pokemon do all the fighting makes Con worthless. It needs an overhaul.

Done. I guess noone saw my post.

And after an overly long hiatus, a sudden flurry of activity! I will not actively be taking requests this time, since whenever I start that I end up getting slogged down by it and stop completely. This isn't saying don't make suggestions, just that I will be doing this at my pace, choosing based almost completely on personal preference and inspiration, and trying to keep myself from feeling obliged to make them all. Also I haven't played since Gen IV so I don't know the feel of the Gen V pokemon well enough to make them.

Supersonic (Su): 1/encounter a golbat may release a supersonic blast at 1 target within 30-ft. This requires a ranged touch attack based on the golbat’s Charisma instead of its Dexterity (+6). A target hit by Supersonic must make a Will save (DC 13) or be confused for 1d3+1 rounds. Deaf creatures are immune to Supersonic, and a bard may attempt to countersong supersonic. This is a sound based mind-affecting effect.
Blindsense (Ex): A golbat has blindsense out to 120-ft, this blindsense is sound based and lost if the golbat is deafened.

Crobats are almost unheard of in the wild, usually only found in the company of skilled druids.
Combat: Crobats will often start a battle with a confuse ray to disorient a powerful seeming opponent. If an enemy proves truly dangerous they will use Confuse Ray and retreat.
Siphon Life (Ex): When a crobat deals damage to a target with its bite attack it regains hp equal to ½ the damage dealt (rounded down, minimum 1).
Supersonic (Su): 1/encounter a crobat may release a supersonic blast at 1 target within 30-ft. This requires a ranged touch attack based on the crobat’s Charisma instead of its Dexterity (+11). A target hit by Supersonic must make a Will save (DC 16) or be confused for 1d3+1 rounds. This is a sound based mind-affecting effect.
Confuse Ray (Sp): 1/day a crobat may fire a ray of mind-warping energy at 1 target within 60-ft. This requires a ranged touch attack (+14). A creature struck by Confuse Ray must make a Will save (DC 18, Charisma based and includes a +2 racial bonus to the DC) or be confused for 1 minute. A successful Will save reduces the duration of the confusion to 1 round. This is the equivalent of a 4th level Enchantment (Mind-Affecting) spell.
Poison (Ex): Initial and secondary damage 1d6 Con, Fort DC 16 (Con based).
Blindsense (Ex): A crobat has blindsense out to 120-ft, this blindsense is sound based and lost if the crobat is deafened.
Skills: Crobats have a +4 racial bonus to Hide and Move Silently checks. Crobats have a +8 bonus to Listen checks.

As Animal Companions
A druid or ranger with the Pokemon Companion feat may select a zubat as an animal companion; if they are level 7 or higher they may select a golbat as an animal companion at -6 to their effective druid level. If they are Lv 13 or higher and have had a golbat animal companion for at least a week they may cause it to evolve into a crobat, at this point they are treated as if their druid level was 12 less than it actually is.

As Familiars
A character with the improved familiar feat may select a zubat as a familiar, if they do so they gain a +3 to listen checks. A character with a caster level of at least 6 and a BAB of at least +6 and Improved Familiar feat my select a golbat as a familiar, if they do so they gain a +3 on Will saves against confusion effects.

To acquire a crobat familiar would require a golbat familiar, a special quest, and a significantly high level probably at least CL 15+ and BAB 11+.

Thank you, my good sir, for fulfilling my initial request! While I am saddened to hear that you won't be accepting more, I encourage you to look into playing one of the Gen5 games.

In regards to the actual pokemon, I feel that the female Nidoran are decidedly lack luster, with no poison and no special attack options. On the other hand, I'd use them as "mama bear" types with the male's being more likely wandering monsters.

Zaydos

Added a poison pin ability to all the nidorans. The nidoran female line is still a little lackluster as they have no offensive poison options, but they always struck me more as the momma bear type and from my albeit lacking experience seemed more TM reliant than the males, or maybe it has more to do with nidoking being one of my favorite 1st gen mons (it was the 7th I raised to 100th level, with the 1st 6 being a time I decided to just raise the 1st 6 pokemon I caught and then to grind my way to level 100). I think Nidoking was when I realized I'd always pick Speed and Attack power over defensive traits.

Cubones are often found in underground caverns wielding over-sized femurs as weapons. They have a second skull which grows externally to their head composed of dermal skeleton. Cubones may understand but not speak terran and the language of marowaks.

Combat:
Cubones attack with their large clubs occasionally using them as thrown weapons.
Oversized Weapon (Ex): Cubones may wield weapons as if they were one size category larger than they actually are (i.e. weapons made for medium creatures).
Bonemerang (Ex): When wielding a club or greatclub a cubone may treat it as if it was a throwing weapon with a 20-ft range increment and has the returning property.
Thick Skull (Ex): Critical confirmation rolls made against a cubone suffer a -4 penalty.

Marowaks are the larger cousins of cubones, possibly their fully mature form. More cunning and intelligent than their cousins, marowaks often set up ambushes for enemies and patrol their unlit domains. Marowaks may speak and understand terran and their own language.

Combat:
Marowaks use their extended darkvision to get the jump on enemies. They will charge forward with bone-clubs as soon as an enemy gets into reach striking hard and fast hoping to inflict a sudden crippling blow.
Oversized Weapon (Ex): Marowaks may wield weapons as if they were one size category larger than they actually are (i.e. weapons made for large creatures).
Bonemerang (Ex): When wielding a club or greatclub a marowak may treat it as if it was a thrown weapon with a 25-ft range increment and has the returning property.
Thick Skull (Ex): Critical confirmation rolls made against a marowak suffer a -4 penalty.

As Animal Companions:
A character with the Pokemon Companion feat may select a cubone as an animal companion with no level penalty. A cubone does not need to be taught tricks (as it has an Int of 3+) but the duration of any animal specific spells cast on it are halved.

To clarify with requests: I am not opposed to receiving them, just I need something to keep me from filling obliged to fulfill all of them. They can get the creative juices flowing but I have a tendency to get dragged down trying to complete too many and then stop altogether.

On cubones: I went with the skull being built in because their mom can be alive (and a ditto) and they still are born with it on and... my brain rejects any possibility other than an exoskeleton at this point.

ArcturusV

2013-01-13, 08:38 PM

Sweet, can't wait to have a Cubone fighting by my side. Agree with the Exoskeleton thing, only real thing that makes sense for it.

Need to correct that oversized weapons for Marowak I think as you have it saying it can use Medium Weapons (And it is medium sized). Don't mean to sound like a nitpicking prick on it.

Anyway, thanks for the quick return. :)

Swinubs are found in artic landscapes. Occasionally they are domesticated by native goblin tribes, which use them for tracking foes and finding food buried under the ice and snow.

Combat:
Swinubs naturally avoid combat. If pressed they will rely upon a blast of their icy winds to take down the opponent and if unable to retreat after that will fling themselves bodily into the opponent.
Icy Wind (Su): 1/hour a swinub may release a blast of ice-cold wind dealing 1d4 damage per hit die in a 15-ft cone (Reflex DC 11 halves, this DC is Constitution based). A creature which rolls a natural 1 on this save is entangled for 1 round per hit die of the swinub.
Stability (Ex): A swinub’s legs are stout and its center of gravity low even for a quadruped granting it an additional +4 to checks to resist trip, overrun, and bull rush. This stacks with their bonus from being quadruped (giving them a +0 after size penalties).
Skills: When tracking by scent a Swinub gains a +4 racial bonus.

Piloswines are the fully mature form of swinubs. While goblins use their young for hunting and tracking, piloswines are often used for military purposes or as heavy draft animals.

Combat:
Piloswines show no aversion to combat and have been known to territorially protect their homes. They attack with icy cold tusks and against powerful opponents will release an icy cold blast of ice.
Icy Wind (Su): 1/hour a piloswine may release a blast of ice-cold wind dealing 1d6 damage per hit dice in a 30-ft cone (Reflex DC 15 halves, this DC is Constitution based). A creature which rolls a natural 1 on this save is entangled for 1 round per hit dice of the piloswine.
Frigid Tusk (Su): A piloswine’s gore attack deals an additional 1d6 cold damage (included), as does any bite attack they may acquire.
Stability (Ex): A piloswine’s legs are stout and its center of gravity low even for a quadruped granting it an additional +4 to checks to resist trip, overrun, and bull rush. This stacks with their bonus from being quadruped (giving them a +8).
Resilience (Ex): A piloswine with less than 1/3rd its max health (normally 13 or less hp) gains DR 5/- and universal energy resistance 5.
Skills: When tracking by scent a piloswine gains a +4 racial bonus.

CR: 10.
Alignment: Always True Neutral
Treasure: None.
Advancement: 13+ HD (huge).
LA: -.

Mamoswines are a rare offshoot of piloswines. Only rarely encountered in the wild or domestication, some goblin tribes revere them as emissaries of an ancient god of snow, ice, and destruction.

Combat:
Mamoswines open the battle with a blast of ancient power or blizzard before moving on to attack with their deadly tusks. If a battle seems to be turning against them they will use the second of their special attacks.
Blizzard (Su): 1/hour a mamoswine may release a blast of ice-cold wind dealing 1d6 damage per hit dice of the mamoswine in a 50-ft cone (Reflex DC 24 halves, this DC is Constitution based). A creature which rolls a natural 1 on this save is entangled for 1 round per hit dice of the mamoswine.
Frigid Tusk (Su): A mamoswine’s gore attack deals an additional 2d6 cold damage (included), as does any bite attack they may acquire.
Ancient Power (Su): 1/hour a mamoswine may release a burst of energy. This energy is released as a ray dealing 1d6 untyped damage per 2 hit dice of the mamoswine (+9 ranged touch typically). If this attack hits its target the mamoswine gains a +1d6 enhancement bonus to all ability scores for 1 minute. This energy is especially effective against creatures of ice or the air, and against flying creatures dealing +1 damage/die to creatures with the cold or air subtype or that are flying, these bonuses stack (so a flying creature with both subtypes would take +3 damage/die).
Resilience (Ex): A mamoswine with less than 1/3rd its max health (normally 49 or less hp) gains DR 5/- and universal energy resistance 5.
Skills: When tracking by scent a mamoswine gains a +4 racial bonus.

As Animal Companions:
A character with the pokemone companion feat may select a piloswine as an animal companion at -6 to their effective druid level, or a mamoswine at -15. Warning: this assumes that at least some enemies encountered will be immune to cold damage entirely.

As Familiars:
A character with the Improved Familiar feat may select a swinub as a familiar. In a campaign focused in a cold area where enemies are likely to have cold resistance or immunity this feat requirement might be waived. A master of a swinub familiar gains Cold Resistance 5.

Breath Weapon (Su): A vulpix may breathe a line of fire 30-ft long dealing 3d6 fire damage to each creature in the line (Reflex DC 15 halves, this save is Charisma based despite being a breath weapon). Any creature which fails its save is caught on fire taking 2d6 fire damage per round for 1d6 rounds. They may attempt to extinguish this flame as a full-round action (same save DC). Once a vulpix has used its breath weapon it must wait 1d4 rounds before using it again. A vulpix’s breath weapon gains +1d6 damage for every 2 HD beyond 3 it obtains.

Spell-like Abilities: DC 12 + Spell level. 3/day: Ghost Sound, Lesser Confusion.

Power from the Flames (Su): If a source, other than the vulpix, would deal the vulpix fire damage it instead gains a +4 enhancement bonus to Charisma for 1 round per 2 points of fire damage that would have been dealt, and gains +1 damage per die on its breath weapon for the same duration. If the fire damage would normally bypass fire immunity (such as from searing spell, but not Flame Strike as half of it is fire damage and affected by fire immunity and the other half is sacred damage and not fire damage at all) instead of taking damage the vulpix gains +8 enhancement bonus to Charisma and +2 damage per die of breath weapon for 1 round per 2 points of fire damage that would have been dealt.

LA: -.

Breath Weapon (Su): A ninetails may breathe a cone of fire 30-ft long dealing 9d6 fire damage to each creature in the line (Reflex DC 19 halves, this save is Charisma based despite being a breath weapon). Any creature which fails its save is caught on fire taking 2d6 fire damage per round for 1d6 rounds. They may attempt to extinguish this flame as a full-round action (same save DC). Any creature burning from a ninetail’s breath weapon suffers a -2 to all attack rolls and the save DCs of all their abilities are reduced by 2. Once a ninetails has used its breath weapon it must wait 1d4 rounds before using it again. A nintail’s breath weapon gains +1d6 damage for every 2 HD beyond 3 it obtains.

Spell-like Abilities: DC 14 + Spell level. At-will: Ghost Sound, Lesser Confusion. 3/day (but no more than 1/hour): Confusion, Dimension Door, Fear. 1/week: Bestow Curse.

Power from the Flames (Su): If a source, other than the ninetails, would deal the ninetails fire damage it instead gains a +4 enhancement bonus to Charisma for 1 round per 2 points of fire damage that would have been dealt, and gains +1 damage per die on its breath weapon for the same duration. If the fire damage would normally bypass fire immunity (such as from searing spell, but not Flame Strike as half of it is fire damage and affected by fire immunity and the other half is sacred damage and not fire damage at all) instead of taking damage the ninetails gains +8 enhancement bonus to Charisma and +2 damage per die of breath weapon for 1 round per 2 points of fire damage that would have been dealt.

Mystic Grace (Su): A ninetails gains a deflection bonus to AC and resistance bonus to Will saves equal to its Charisma modifier, these are included above.

As Familiars:
A character with Improved Familiar and a caster level of 7 or higher may select a vulpix as a familiar, this grants the master fire resistance 5. To obtain a ninetails familiar a character would need to have Improved Familiar and a caster level of 15 or higher and set forth on a special quest of the DM's design (which is short-hand for ninetails is probably stronger than a familiar ought to be), this still grants the master fire resistance 5. Warning: these are fairly strong options for familiars with their breath weapon (5d6 for Vulpix and 13d6 for ninetails) and a DM may want to raise the level further, or disallow them based on optimization level. Another option is to remove breath weapon scaling from familiar versions at which point ninetails could probably be available at 13th level.

As Animal Companions:
A character with the Pokemon Companion feat may select a vulpix as an animal companion at a -3 to their effective druid level. A character with the Pokemon Companion feat may select a ninetails as an animal companion at a -12 to effective druid level.

Where's the Abra line? I see it's crossed out from the requests section in the index. I'd love to see Mew/Mewtwo, too.

Overall, nice work and one which could work in a normal D&D world, unlike other Pokemon conversions I saw.

Zaydos

2013-01-14, 10:29 AM

I just put a strike through all the old requests when I decided I wouldn't be working on a request system anymore. I like requests and suggestions, but this is a hobby done when the inspiration strikes me and I let myself get dragged down trying to complete requests and end up strangling what little inspiration I have. So I decided to try and absolve myself of my own perceived responsibility to fulfill requests. I don't mind them being made, but I am going to only think of them as suggestions. I hope this will actually result in more creativity and ultimately more fulfilled requests, but I can't be sure (one could say it's a very badly performed experiment on my own nature and psychology).

Though at least I'm getting a few ideas for abras and their ilk. I do love abras. How to do evolution, though, and to balance their teleport ability for familiars and/or PCs...

Edit: Modified the OP to reflect change from requests to suggestions.

ArcturusV

2013-01-14, 10:52 AM

Dunno, maybe as Familiars Abras can only Teleport to their master's location (If it is within 1 mile)? Useful. Twinky perhaps. But not as broken as something like what is actually in the games and "Teleport the Abra and it's Master any distance to a safe location of your choosing prepared ahead of time". Just a suggestion. I haven't seriously homebrewed and kitbashed in years and years so my senses are probably rusty as a pile of oxidized iron.

You know, some DMs let you "buy-off" LA, which would result in the Abra line having a Manifester level higher than their HD.

You can't completely buy off Alakazam until 21st level, though, so there is that...

I am familiar with LA buy-off, the problem is balancing it where it's usable with and without LA buy off. I did up Alakazam to LA +4, but I'm not sure if it is too high.

Amechra

It was fine with a lower LA; it just needed a tad more RHD to balance it out.

Actually, if you swap the LA and the RHD for Kadabra, it's pretty well balanced...

I like kadabras being extra squishy. Besides LA buy-off for them doesn't finish until character level 20 (ECL 21) at which +1 ML isn't the biggest deal (9 class levels + 2 RHD to buy off 1st level, +6 class levels for 2nd, +3 for 3rd). Might be a little high on the LA but I make them as monsters first and foremost.

Now to post Rapidash.

Why didnt you give the Alakazam another 2 STR, total 9, to allow it to carry more than a Kadabra? Just doesnt sit right, so I was wondering if you had a reason. Looking great otherwise though.

Yes, because the best possible way to handle a conversion of a series that many of us grew up with and greatly enjoy is to take the incredibly lazy and flavorless "just refluff" route.

:smallredface: Missed that. Carry on.

I think, tbh, both could work well. Sprint better represents actual speed, while Extreme Speed better represents the move.

i would say that the scyther is stronger than a CR 4, its possibility of dealing large damage to foes and gaining bonuses on crits with a large crit ratio/damage possibility, combined with throwing them at low level non-flyers is way more dangerous.

Zaydos

2013-01-15, 01:20 AM

I think arcanine should get the already existant Sprint ability of a Cheetah instead of your created Extreme Speed.

I wanted to represent the sudden burst of speed, also to give arcanines something really unique because well :smallredface: they're one of the pokemon that at least temporarily displaced Charizard as my favorite (before Salamence permanently did). That and the move always wowed me before Gold and Silver when it was Arcanine's signature, it was more than just closing with the enemy quickly it was this sudden brutal attack that even the quickest enemy couldn't stop. Definitely didn't perfectly represent it, I doubt I can in D&D (not that I believe it is impossible, just that I can't find how to). That brings us to...

I think, tbh, both could work well. Sprint better represents actual speed, while Extreme Speed better represents the move.

...I like this idea, although looking at Sprint I find that 3.5 it's only on a charge and to represent actual speed a run action (maintainable for more than 1 round) would be better. So I reduced their speed by 20-ft, nerfed Extreme Speed (now it's speed, or half speed and a normal melee attack, also 1 round exhaustion), increased Arcanine's HD & CR by 1, fixed the level you can get it as a druid (was supposed to be -9 not -6 :smallredface:) and added a "Rush" ability that allows it to run at 10 times its normal speed.

Just take Pathfinders Summoner class and refluff. Then refluff monsters to your needs.

First part: I'm building them as monsters first, their use for players as pets or PCs is of secondary importance. I've only looked over eidolon rules once (still not too familiar with pathfinder, I've only played a rogue in it) but I do believe they could probably be used to simulate a pokemon or pokemon trainer. That said this 1) takes work (almost as much, if not more than homebrewing a creature), and 2) works better for PCs than what I'm making them for (monsters).

Part 2: What has an ability that mechanically represents Flare Blitz? Or Extreme Speed? Or Bonemerang? I'll admit I didn't look very hard before just making my own abilities whole-cloth on any of these, but I am not already aware of anything for any of them. I could pore over 5 monster manuals, a fiendish codex, a monstrous compendium, 2 or is it 3 bestiaries, the draconomicon, libris mortis, lords of madness and more and find monsters to represent many pokemon but at that point finding ones that mechanically fit and refluffing them are more work than just making my own pokemon.

More importantly I enjoy making monsters. More than anything else I am doing this because I enjoy making monsters and for around 15 years now have wanted to make Pokemon in D&D (yes longer than 3.X has been around). So it's not like it's really work, it's something done for fun.

That and I play 3.5 by preference and my players having finally found out about this apparently want pokemon familiars :smalleek: Which actually brings up one of the other advantages of this method in that it doesn't strap them irrevocably to one class.

i would say that the scyther is stronger than a CR 4, its possibility of dealing large damage to foes and gaining bonuses on crits with a large crit ratio/damage possibility, combined with throwing them at low level non-flyers is way more dangerous.

I am woefully bad with CRs and think you are probably right. That said in my defense scyther is unable to attack at a range and the party can turtle up with readied actions to get their full (at Lv 4) attacks per round unless they are dual-wielding so mainly it denies the possibility of flanking. Damage-wise a full attacking tiger (such as a tiger using pounce) deals more damage than even a full-attacking scyther assuming all attacks hit (even without calculating crits the tiger comes out 5 points of damage ahead, and 18 when using rake). Of course this is as far as the math supports CR 4 when compared to a tiger as scyther has 6 more hp (not too important but significant as this is more than 10% of its hp), 6 more AC (very significant), and better to hit (+2 compared to tiger's claws and rakes, +7 compared to tiger's bite), and then the possibility of +2 more to hit and damage (actually +2.3 more damage per hit when crits are factored in). So it probably should be CR 5, but I'm going to wait to change it as I have someone who wants to actually test it as an animal companion on a semi-random one-shot dungeon crawl I'm planning for Friday and I'd like to see that before I change it.

Good idea, i just threw a team of 3 (4th level mage, 3rd level fighter, 5th level rogue) at it.

it killed the mage with one crit and one other attack, then proceeded on mauling the rogue until the fighter managed to grab it and hold it down. the rogue dealt a strong blow and put it down. they then began preparing the standard elven burial for their mage friend.

Edit:
the next thing that happened was an ambush by two scythers... yeah... no one to bury anyone, now.

i always wanted to go for the approach of pokemon templates based on the overall stats of the pokemon, applied to magical beast levels as the basis.

the moves would be allocated to each hit dice, four moves known, each changable at each level, the evolutions would be at 8th and 16th for 3 stage, 10th for 2 stage. (caterpie/weedle/etc would be at 5th and 10th.)

moves will run off cha if special attacks, str if physical attacks. the powers will deal damage equal to the number of 10s the move has in d6s.

Squirtle
-2 Str, +4 Con, -2 Dex, +2 Cha
levels at 8th and 16th
Withdraw +2 AC to squirtle, its effects stack, up to one time per five levels the squirtle has.
Surf deals 9d6+Cha mod as the power is 95
Bite deals 6d6+Str mod as the power is 60
Tail Whip imposes a -2 AC penalty to all enemies within 20 ft., its effects stack, up to one time per five levels the squirtle has.

etc.

Well got some bad news and some good news.

Bad news is that a friend loaned me a video game and its addictive so will be eating a lot of my free time. Before the bad news I'll actually reply to 2 of the posts.

So the Abra line derives its powers from Int or Wis, but not Cha? I imagined their powers being Cha-based and thus a high Cha...

I also love Ponyta - it used to be my fav.

I just always thought of Abras as squishy wizards with insane Int. Game mechanically I gave them powers as a psion which means they carry their Int based psionics just like psionic mind flayers do. Now when I get around to making Mewtwo I'll have to give it high both since it'll have psionics as a psion and psi-like abilities.

I'd like to reccommend The Solosis/Duosion/Reuniclus line. They could be fun.

Well I haven't ever actually heard of those before so I'm guessing they're 5th gen. Usually I only make pokemon I'm familiar with, preferably having raised them at least for a time.

That said on to the good news. The addictive video game is Pokemon White so I'll probably make some 5th gen mons at some point soon.

Also I do have at least 1 more pokemon to post.

Zap Cannon (Su): 1/day a magneton may release a powerful blast of electricity at 1 target within 100-ft dealing 5d6 electric damage. A successful reflex save (DC 14; this save is Con based) negates this damage.

Magnet Rise (Su): A magneton’s flight is supernatural in origin and lost in an antimagic zone. A magneton moving through the air is always considered to be moving silently.
