Why not throw in some druid for madness inducing "Bear riding a Bear turning into a Bear while summoning more Bears" action? :smallbiggrin:

[grarrrg]

Someone has to say it, so it might as well be me.

NEEDS MOAR BEAR!!!1!!1!!

[Abaddon87]

My only failing is not knowing how to include the lycanthropy aspect of turning into a bear again while Bear Warrior turning into a bear...

Edit: Oh and perhaps some levels in Beastmaster for extra Bear animal companions? And why is there no Bear Swarm?

[HunterOfJello]

I don't see the Wild Cohort (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/re/20031118a) feat in there to gain an additional Bear companion.

Also, what's up with all the Vows?

[Chess435]

It's hard to bear all these bear threads. :smallwink: Let the horrible puns begin!

[Abaddon87]

So if it was a necropolitan Bear it would be unbearable?

Edit: Haha the white ninjas strike again!

[Kurald Galain]

Nah, just grisly.

[Ursus the Grim]

Charisma should be higher for all those kodiak moments.

[Abaddon87]

Its so he can just kill things with his Bear Hands!

[The Glyphstone]

Note that Anthropomorphic Animals cannot be Lycanthropes, as their type is Monstrous Humanoid.

You fix this by making them Dustform Creatures, then applying Incarnate Construct to make them proper Humanoids.

[Starbuck_II]

Well, the Consitution in America says he has the right to Bear Arms. I'd assume that includes Bear hands. :smallbiggrin:

[The Glyphstone]

And Vow of Poverty means he carries only the Bear essentials.

[Hanuman]

NONE of these bears are holding sharks.

[Chess435]

We don't have to panda to you shark lovers! :smallbiggrin:

[Abaddon87]

Sharks can Bearly hold water on their own!

[Kurald Galain]

Bear in mind that this thread has really jumped the bear now.

[Chess435]

This forum really needs to have a bear-related pun contest.

[AtlanteanTroll]

I think the varying levels of these puns is almost polar.

[Yora]

Does anyone have a link to the Bearington Bearman build?

[danzibr]

And Vow of Poverty means he carries only the Bear essentials.
Ahhhhhhhhh that's hilarious. Best pun of the lot.

[Gaiyamato]

Might be a better way of getting divine spells than Pious Templar too.
Though I lose mettle.

Hrrm good idea.. if I can fit it in. :P

Oh... hot damn *includes somehow*

EXACTLY!!!
I am glad someone got that. :D

ty for that.
I was just winging it. But I'll apply the fix.

[The Glyphstone]

My preferred Bearington Bearman build is Incarnate Dustform Anthropomorphic Black Bear Were-Black Bear Bear Totem Barbarian/Bear Warrior/Bear Lord with Vow of Poverty and Improved Unarmed Strike. He's a humanoid bear who can transform into a bear, worships a bear, can get angry and turn into a bear, talk to bears, summon bears, fight with his bear hands, and carry only the bear essentials.

[MeeposFire]

And Vow of Poverty means he carries only the Bear essentials.

Don't you mean the bear necessities?

[PirateLizard]

reading all of those gave me a bear of a headache

Sounds good to me. :)

I actually found 5 different ways to shape-change into a bear too.
Interestingly some of them don't say that they don't stack...

Were Bear + Baresark (Berserker from Deities and Demigods) + Bear Warrior allows me to shift to werebear + a different werebear + a different anthropomorphic bear form.
Stacking all of the strength and con bonuses.

3/day I have +40 strength. :P

[Krüsher]

Don't forget to be a Tauric Creature! You are an anthro-bear werebear who is a bear from the waist down! Also instead of dustform you might wanna spring for Half-Golem instead? No LA and some nifty abilities. Effigy is good too, you can go with the whole backstory of "This sculpter was totally obsessed with bears. So he sculpted me. Then used the Incarnate Construct thing to make me a real bear-boy!" Bearnoccio style.

[Seffbasilisk]

Why Vow of Abstinence? That means he can't go Bear-Back.

[grarrrg]

Check my signature.
Either immediately below, or ALLLLLLLLLL the way up in post #3.

[Axinian]

Great, another one of these.

Ahem...

Allow me a moment to get my bearings, my mind is rather Smokey after having been exposed to such grizzly puns. Whatever, I guess I'll panda to you guys and give you

[Frosty]

In addition to the right to bear arms, I think we should have the right to arm bears, but this is a very polar-izing issue.

Is the bear made of magnets now?

[Androgeus]

I hope not, that would make me solenoid.

you'll have to bear in mind that wasn't a bear pun.

[Heliomance]

Aye caramba, the puns. Oh well, I suppose we'll just have to grin and bear it...

[Saintheart]

Why Vow of Abstinence? That means he can't go Bear-Back.

You need to stop and get your bearings. Of course he can go bear-back. He just needs to get a wild cohort to do so. If, of course, the encumbrance is not too much for his mount to bear.

[Saintheart]

THE MAGNETS ARE NOW DIAMONDS! :smallcool: :smallbiggrin:

[Ceaon]

Christopher Walken doesn't like (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kONmDCla6Nc&feature=related) all these puns.

[Alleran]

When these threads start up, it's usually hard to bear, but I'm finding that I can bear up under all the polarisingly bad and nigh-unbearable puns without feeling like a sad panda. Maybe I'm just used to it, as long as I take a brief paws before entering the thread.

[Project_Mayhem]

Remember to give your character a beard and dress him in hard leather.

[The Glyphstone]

That's a completely different kind of bear.

[Alleran]

That's a completely different kind of bear.
The kind that growls?

[JaronK]

Detective Kodiak plucked a single hair from the bearskin rug and at once understood the grisly nature of the crime: it had been a ferocious act, a real honey, the sort of thing that could polarize a community, so he padded quietly out the back to avoid a cub reporter waiting in the den.

...and I say we need to have all possible sorts of bears in this.

One Bear-bear Sorcerer 4/Rage Mage 5/Fleshwarper 10 coming up....

How many arms should he have??

Remember that you have the right to arm bears.

[Gaiyamato]

Your right.
Totally needs some beast master levels somehow in order to have many bears with many arms.

This is where Gestalt usually comes in handy.

And more importantly, how many of those arms can wield guns? Take alevel in Gunslinger from PF!

Your build's only bearly legal in a few key places, though. Bear builds like these ones don't require quite the same level of bear-knuckled no-holds-beared optimization.

[tcrudisi]

/minor thread-jack

I've been invited to a 3.5 game. I've not played 3.5 in a few years and I don't remember much about it. I was hoping someone could help me. What is the best build for me to start with (at level 1)? I'd like it to be able to hold its own (ya know, as much as a melee can) while being as Bear-y as possible. Or is it even possible to create a bear build at level 1 due to LA's?

[Ormagoden]

*COUGH* *COUGH* Ahem! (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=140757)

[ThatLovin'Elan]

When casting Augury, bear clerics should be sure to say, "Please, just give me ursine!"

I think we could fit a cub-ple more bear puns in this thread.

[Socratov]

Can't bear to see many more of these threads, they are turning me polar, making me end up like a sad panda. There are bearely other thred on this board anymore. the pandamonium is getting ursademic. Where has the time gone? Bears used to be encountered only in dire situations. Soon all the honey will be gone and then the Pooh has really hit the paws.

[Drazik]

this character better drink its own piss WAY to much
