goober is now done:

The Alley Kat
Intermediate God
Symbol: Intimidating Cats Face
Home Plane: The Godrealm (will differ in your campaign)
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Portfolio: Street people, fighting, courage, divine revenge, strength
Worshipers: Cats, Cat Burglars, some Catfolk, the Mows (worshipers are usually the poor, the disenfranchised, or the criminal)
Cleric Alignments: CG, CN, CE
Domains: Big Kitty, Courage, Retribution, Strength, War
Favored Weapon: His nonhumanoid worshipers use their Claws, Humanoids get the Dagger.

Alley Kat is Goobers older brother, and the enforcer of the Kitteh Gawds. When butts need kicked, he does the kicking. He and the Bad Kitteh have quarreled many times, and somehow the Alley Kat has always survived. The Alley Kat also watches over the street people, and despises the rich and softly affluent. He appears as a large, fluffy grey tomcat.

Dogma
Trust no one. Always verify what people are telling you. Crush your enemies. Get revenge for those who are to weak to get it for themselves, protect the feeble and the homeless. Kill the rich.

Clergy and Temples
Temples to Alley Kat are usually makeshift affairs that are propped up in dark alleys to perform rights before being taken down. Not having a temple stuck in one place all the time lessens the vulnerability of his clergy.

Something i just noticed when attempting to come up with a build for Bakeneko: It's requirements are INCREDIBLY feat intensive... I mean, that's 6 feats that you have to take. I can understand the Human Forms being necessary, but I'm not so sure Eschew Materials should be mandatory. Still and Silent spell is pushing it, IMO...

Then again, it is a fairly powerful Epic PrC... hmmm... but really, feats mean options, and some of the ones you have to take just don't give enough I think...

I'm also beginning to question the usefulness of Human form when you have take 3 feats before you can become "Adult" sized.

Have you considered entering as a Cat Burglar/Beguiler? It'd fit fairly well, plus you get Silent and Still for free.

Thought up a maneuver/stance yesterday that MIGHT fit in here... basically it trades away to-hit at some ratio for increasing your threat range (and which DOES stack with keen etc). Strike, boost, or stance, I am not sure... might fit Tiger Claw better than this, but I thought I would mention it.

I finished the first two feats for the feline way and edited in initial descriptions of the Maneuvers into the preliminary list. If you think they're okay balance wise I'll wrap up the Feline way. Also:

The Mean Kitteh aka Endcat
Intermediate God
Symbol: Evil fluffy cat face
Home Plane: The Bad Godrealm (will differ in your campaign)
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Portfolio: Destruction, combat, murder, end times, allergies
Worshipers: Cats, Cat Burglars, some Catfolk, the Mows (worshipers are usually evil and destructive)
Cleric Alignments: CN, CE, NE
Domains: Dander, Destruction, Evil, Hissing Fury, Purr
Favored Weapon: His nonhumanoid worshipers use their Claws, Humanoids get the Short Sword.

The Mean Kitteh appears as a large brownish short hair Persian, and is the son of The Bad Kitteh in Da Night. He has little self control, and even less patience or regard for others spending most of his existence destroying things in fits of pique. Fortunately like many bullies he intimidates easily, and The Great kitten in Da Sky keeps him in line with the occasional stern look if he gets obviously out of line.

Dogma
Followers of the Mean Kitteh are expected to use intimidation to get what they want and to prove their ability to dominate others. They are also expected to have a temper and indulge it.

Clergy and Temples
Temples to the Mean Kitteh are usually built in bars, training centers for fighters, gang houses, etc.

Hmm, Kitty Dodge could get pretty ridiculous on a Gnome Cat Burglar with Titan Fighting (http://realmshelps.dandello.net/cgi-bin/feats.pl?Titan_Fighting), as that's +5 against Medium creatures and gets worse from there.

Also, this is a pretty awesome variation on a Cat Burglar/Warlock: http://xkcd.com/729/ >=3

Also, imagine using that in diminutive kitty mode. Nothing larger than yourself would be able to touch you.

QUick Opinions:

Should Kitty Magic be available in Kitty Form only?

Should he level prerequisite be Cat Burglar levels only or just ECL?

Blue Eyes
Intermediate God
Symbol: Pair of Blue Eyes
Home Plane: The Bad Godrealm (will differ in your campaign)

Blue Eyes appears as a slinky female blue-eyed Siamese cat. She is the Bad Kitteh in Da Nights only daughter, and his personal assassin.

They aren't willing to risk permanent death coming after her, and he isn't willing to risk losing her as a deterrent.

Blue Eyes updated. Man her skills were a pain.

Bhu

2010-04-24, 12:01 AM

OK Blue Eyes is done. All thats left is Itty Bitty and two surprise Gawds to come

Itty Bitty
Lesser God
Symbol: Small Kitten
Home Plane: The Godrealm (will differ in your campaign)
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Portfolio: Curiosity, aid, children and the elderly, mischief
Worshipers: Cats, Cat Burglars, some Catfolk, the Mows (mostly kids)
Cleric Alignments: CG, CN, CE
Domains: Curiosity, Help!, Mischief, Scamper

Itty Bitty is the youngest son of Da Great Kitteh in Da Sky. he spends most of his time with Goober, Housecat, or Mawm after the incident that permanently injured Goober. If he goes outside Mawm ensures Alley Kat is with him. She probably needn't bother as she has decreed that the seas will boil and the skies will fall if Itty Bitty is ever hurt. He appears as a playful young kitten whose fur is patterned much like his fathers.

Dogma
Follow your impulses and curiosity. Make sure you have a big guy to hide behind when these impulses lead you astray. or at least a really mean and dedicated woman if a psychotic combat brute isn't available.

Itty Bitty and The Feline Way have been updated

DracoDei

2010-04-25, 11:41 PM

I had printed out the shorter versions of the Feline Way stuff for easier comparison to my copy of ToB a few days ago, but have not gotten around to doing so.

Anklebite looks underpowered actually... make it HALVE each movement speed, or reduce it by 10, whichever is more? Drpp it to first level? The Desert Wind Boost that increases your speed by 10 feet is 1st level, so that would seem balanced to me.

Itty Bitty is done, and now it's time for our first surprise deity:

Charmaine Pussyfoot
Lesser God
Symbol: Her face, smiling
Home Plane: The Godrealm (will differ in your campaign)
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Portfolio: Cat Burglars, thieves
Worshipers: Cats, Cat Burglars, some Catfolk, the Mows (mostly Cat Burglars)
Cleric Alignments: CG, CN, NG
Domains: Celerity, Liberation, Trickery
Favored Weapon: Her nonhumanoid worshipers use their Claws, Humanoids get the Dagger.

Formerly known by her title "Worlds Sexayest Halfling", Charmaine was a rising star in the Cat Burglar world. Kidnapped by the Jester and brought to his realm she fought her way to Godhood in an effort to escape and return home. Offering her a chance at remaining and becoming the God of the Cat Burglars, she accepted once she realized she had more fame and friends in her new place than she did among the old home (where they had likely robbed her of all her stuff in the years she'd been missing). Eventually she met the Kitteh Gawds, and was adopted by Mawm who figured the extra worshipers she brought would be good for the pantheon, and it would help the Good Kitteh Gawds get a jump start ahead of the Bad Kitteh in Da Night from making offers to them.

Dogma
Charmaine prefers her worshipers steal from the evil people of the world, and give to the poor and unfortunate. She also demands they watch over Cat Burglars and protect them (and to an extent all felines).

Clergy and Temples
Temples to Charmaine are usually found in Cat Burglar Guilds.

Comments on selected Feline Way maneuvers.

Rowr! - Limit to Natural and Unarmed?

Testing the Waters - Should apply to Expertise as well... maybe even "any effect that grants AC in exchange for a to-hit penalty" to cover any obscure maneuvers etc we are forgetting.

Noms! - At least in long version bonuses need to be limited to against that creature, so some joker doesn't go into battle with a mouse in their off-hand (grappled at -20) and claim the bonuses.

Flying Tackle - Auto-prone on a hit seems bad... make it so you are prone regardless of if it hits or not, or resolve it as a free trip attempt.

Threat Display - Should be a Strike, even if it is a Swift of Immediate action, since it is its own effect, rather than modifying other effects.

Huggin' Stance - DR while grappling is.. Odd... not bad, just interesting.

Flurry - Harsh... I LIKE it!

Not really. The Census tried hiring and doing background checks on 66000 people in one day, and as a result there were a lot of mistakes and confused identities, mine being one of them. I'm on suspension this week after sending them requested info to prove I haven't committed any crimes and I'm waiting to be reinstated. It'll take at least all this week, and possibly part of next week. I am not happy to say the least. The email the 4shared response team gave to me responded and said they'd get back to me a week and a half (maybe 2 weeks now) ago, and I still haven't heard from them whats up about the .pdf. The only thing good from all this is that I'm still getting plenty of work from my online job.

Charmaine updated whilst I await reviews of the Feline Way.

Bhu

2010-05-15, 12:26 AM

Charmaine is done. Whilst I await feedback on The Feline Way we'll finish the last surprise Kitteh Gawd

MRROW
Greater God
Symbol: A stylized cats face
Home Plane: The Godrealm (will differ in your campaign)
Alignment: Neutral
Portfolio: Cats and feline being whether partial or whole
Worshipers: Cats, Cat Burglars, some Catfolk, the Mows, virtually anything feline
Cleric Alignments: CN, LN, N, NE, NG
Domains: Cat, Celerity, Charm, Trickery
Favored Weapon: Claw Bracers

Mrrow was a Cat-Elf who ascended to Goddesshood when the appropriate position was opening. The only thing available was Cat Goddess, so she took it. Originally this made her quite unhappy, but she found her attitude fit in tolerably well with cats (and most Felines), and over the years she softened considerably (she was originally Neutral Evil).

Then came the Kitteh Gawds. Of course she immediately saw them as intruders. After all they actually were cats, and would more likely appeal to many of her worshipers. She was considering simply assassinating them all when Mawm made a truce, and she now shares power with them. She appears as a tall dark skinned Cat Elf, or a coal black siamese cat.

Dogma
Trust no one, particularly the non kitty races. Always verify, always get what you want. Use your cuteness to your advantage. Destroy those who would harm cats.

Clergy and Temples
Mrrow prefers grandiose temples with lots of bling. She also staffs them heavily with predatory feline guardians, and her temples wealth serves as a rainy day fund for her chosen people.

Got your Feline Way feedback right here!

Eye of the Housecat's Lurking Below isn't very strong and could stand to be increased, as your opponent's size bonus is still considerable.
Bitin' the Berries in summary and in full are quite different. The full version is much nicer and hilarious.
Flying Cuisinart mentions +2d6 damage in the summary version but not in the full version.
Neck Bite is Feral Death Blow refluffed with Tumble. Something unique would have been nice, considering Feline Way and Tiger Claw go fairly well paw-in-paw. :smalltongue:
Pounce! would be better if it scaled with Initiator level.

Also, the style in general would fit fairly well in a melee Killer Gnome build, so that sounds fairly fun, methinks.

I never quite fixed the summaries, Ill need to do that. Flying Cuisinart seemed powerful enough for the level without the extra damage but I can add it back in if people think it's weak.

If you can mix and match enough Feline Way/Tiger Claw moves you can now have two death moves prepped :smallbiggrin:

For pounce: maybe a bonus of initiator level divided by 5?

What changes were made to Feline Way? I checked Flying Cuisinart and Pounce and they seem the same to me...

I don't think it would hurt for Flying Cuisinart to do bonus damage, considering I see many Feline Way initiates being in cat form and thus needing any bonus damage they can get.

That Cat Powah Bonus i gave the CB at 1st level has made them surprisingly potent.

MOWS

Picture URL if you have one

"Meow!"

The Mows are a race of magically awakened housecats who have somehow begun to breed true and have Awakened children. They enjoy their reputation for being no end of trouble.

MOWS RACIAL TRAITS
· -8 Str (Minimum 3), +4 Dex, +2 Wis
· Size Class: Tiny. +2 Size Bonus to Armor Class and Attack Rolls. +4 Size Bonus to Hide Checks. -8 Size Penalty to Bull Rush, Grapple, Overrun, and Trip Checks. Lifting and Carrying Limits are three quarters those of a Medium character. Space is 2 1/2', Reach is 0'.
· Magical Beast, giving you Dark Vision 60 ft., and Low-Light Vision
· Base speed 30 feet
· Scent (Ex): Identical to the ability listed in the Monster Manual.
· Mows have a Primary Claw attack doing 1d2 plus their strength bonus and a Secondary Bite attack doing 1d3 plus half their Strength Bonus. They get 2 Claws and 1 Bite with Full Attack.
. Non Humanoid Form: The Mows aren't humanoid and have no hands. They may not make Craft, Disable Device, Disguise, Forgery, Heal, Open Lock, Sleight of Hand, or Use Rope checks. They are also limited in the type of Perform skills they can get. Being vicious (and teensy) predators they also can't make Handle Animal checks as animals are terrified of (or ignore) them. Most equipment will be one tenth the weight for them. They cannot wield weapons unless they are specifically made for them, usually as an extension of armor they are wearing. If someone is willing to help them in and out of it they can wear armor.
. Mows are purely carnivorous, and can only consume meat. While this heavily limits their diet they can go twice as long as normal before having to make checks for starvation as they have had to live through some lean times because of it.
· Racial skill bonuses: Mows receive a +4 Racial Bonus on Climb, Hide, Listen, and Move Silently Checks. They also get a +8 Racial Bonus of Balance and Jump checks. They may use their Dexterity Modifier instead of their Strength Modifier for Climb and Jump Checks. In areas of tall grass or undergrowth their Hide Bonus increases to +8.
· Automatic and Bonus languages: Mows automatically speak Common and Purr. Bonus Languages depend on where they live and are usually that of their neighbor, but many speak Sylvan
· Level Adjustment: +0
· Favored Class: Cat Burglar, Rogue, or Scout

STARTING AGE
Adulthood: 14 years
Barbarian, Rogue, Sorcerer: +1d4
Bard, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger: +1d6
Cleric, Druid, Monk, Wizard: +2d6

AGING EFFECTS
Middle Age: 30
Old: 45
Venerable: 60
Maximum Age: +2d10 years

HEIGHT AND WEIGHT
Base Height: Male: 7" Female: 6"
Height Modifier: +1d4"
Base Weight: Male: 8 lbs. Female: 7 lbs.
Weight Modifier: x1 lb.

MOWS CHARACTERS
If you want to play a small stealthy PC who can go about unnoticed due to the fact everyone assumes you're a common animal, the Mows are perfect. Plus you get to be an adorable lil' kitteh. What more could you want than that?
Adventuring Race: Mows often go on adventures for money, fame, and power. The usual reasons. But being fey and whimsical like all cats some do it just for the hell of it.
Character Development: Make sure to take Feats or class abilities that will allow you to overcome your Reach limitations. Your size does have a few disadvantages.
Character Names: Mows tend to use whatever names are common to the other races living in their area.

ROLEPLAYING A MOWS
You can pretend to be a normal cat and sponge off the other races while secretly living among them. All the Mows do it at some point. It allows you to learn lots of nifty blackmail material. Not that you're the sort of kitty to use blackmail to get fed a better class of salmon than table scraps. No sir not you.
Personality: The Mows are still cats for the most part, with all the typical behaviors attributed to kitties.
Behaviors: You've all seen the various cat videos on Youtube. Give them some human level intelligence and imagine the trouble they can start now...
Language: The Mows speak Purr, which has no written form (and is effectively the same language used by the Cat Burglars Guilds).

MOWS SOCIETY
Cats are highly social and prize competitions of stealth and athletic ability. They are also fans of singing and acting. The women do all the child rearing, and the men do much of the hunting and fooling of humans. In other words the women are mothers and teachers and the men are thieves.
Alignment : Mows have a strong tendency towards Chaos as they dislike rules, and most also have a strong tendency towards Neutrality. They like their privacy.
Lands : The Mows are pretty omnipresent. Wherever you can find cats, you can find them.
Settlements : Mows prefer urban areas since it allows them to pretend to be pets and blend in better.
Beliefs : The Mows worship the Kitteh Gawds exclusively.
Relations: Mows get along fine with Humans and other humanoids who have cats as pets because they can take advantage of them. The rest of the world they don't like so much.

MOWS ADVENTURES
· There has been a rash of murders in the town, and the humans are clueless. Every cat in the city knows there is an Undead monster living down by the old mill that's responsible. You just have to figure out how to get the humans there without revealing who you really are. Or failing that end it yourself.
· A local powerful Wizard has had his beloved Familiar slain and is inconsolable until he sees the perfect replica of him: you. Adopted by a psychopathic madman with incredible power you must find a way to convince him not to kill the locals out of paranoia, find a way to get him to let go of his friend, and all without driving him any crazier.
· The local humans have figured out cats are intelligent and have declared war. You must broker peace with them, or failing that find a way to sabotage their extermination efforts.

MOWS RACIAL SUBSTITUTION LEVELS

ROGUE
Levels 10, 13, 16, 19: The Mows Rogue has new options for his Rogues Special Abilities.
Special Ability (Ex):

SCOUT
Levels 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20: The Mows loses access to some Bonus feats, but gains access to others.
Bonus Feats (Ex): Instead of having access to Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Rapid Reload, and Shot on the Run the Mows Scout can choose from Defensive Strike, Lunging Strike, Mouser, and Prone Attack.

CAT BURGLAR
Level 1: Replace Purr with Polyglot
Polyglot (Ex): Speak Language is always a Class Skill for you.
Level 1: Cat Powah with Man Powah
Man Powah (Su): At 1st level the Cat Burglar gets his first taste of Humanoid Magic in the form of an untyped Bonus equal to his Charisma Modifier. Once per day for an entire encounter he can apply this Bonus to one of the following: Checks with a specific Charisma or Dexterity based Skill, one specific Opposed Combat Check (Grapples, Trips, etc.), a bonus to his Armor Class, or as a bonus to either Attack or Damage rolls made with his unarmed strikes in Humanoid Form.
Levels 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, and 19: Replace Kitty Form with Humanoid Form
Humanoid Form (Su): At will as a standard action you may transform into a humanoid (or from a humanoid back to your normal form). At first level you can assume the form of a Medium humanoid. This allows you to pretend to be any species of the more common humanoids, or perhaps a very young Giant. When transforming all equipment that isn’t enchanted to remain (see below) fall off of you harmlessly and form a pile at your feet. While in Humanoid Form you lose your Scent ability along with your natural attacks, non humanoid form limitations, and racial skill bonuses. If you are killed or knocked unconscious in Humanoid Form you revert to a cat next round. You also gain the following abilities: An unarmed strike attack like normal humanoids, the ability to manipulate objects with hands, and your stats are modified as follows: +8 Str, -4 Dex. You also gain the subtype (Human, Elf, Orc) of whatever Humanoid you are mimicking and count as a member of that race for purposes of spells, items, etc.

At levels 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, and 19 you gain an additional Humanoid Forms from the following list if you meet the prerequisites (all of these forms count as Humanoid Form for purposes of Feats, effects, etc.). Forms that list a specific level as a prerequisite cannot be taken until that level, regardless of whether or not all those levels are in the Cat Burglar class:

Small Humanoid Form: You may now take the form of a Humanoid child or smaller Humanoids such as halflings.

Tiny Humanoid Form: You may now take the form of a Humanoid infant or really small Humanoids.

Big Humanoid Form: You may take the form of a Large Humanoid or Giant.

Giant Form: You may take the form of a Huge Giant.

Levels 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, and 17: Replace Kitty Magic with Humanoid Magic
Humanoid Magic(Su): Humanoid Magic represents the Cat Burglars innate mystical powers, usually ones based on the cats abilities in life, folklore, and rumor. The Cat Burglar can choose one ability from the following list at levels 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, and 17 if they meet the prerequisites. These are considered Supernatural abilities unless it says otherwise:

These Enhancements can be used in any version of Humanoid Form unless otherwise noted, and their benefits stack with the abilities gained from your various Humanoid Forms (You may use more than one Enhanced Humanoid Form at a time, but see restrictions below.):

Level 20: Replace True Kitty with True Humanoid
True Humanoid(Ex): At 20th level you become one with your inner human, and now qualify as a Humanoid for purposes of any spell/power/effect that would be beneficial to them temporarily without being vulnerable to spells that target them specifically(this includes spells specific to Humanoids such as Charm Person). If knocked unconscious you no longer revert to your original form if you are in Humanoid Form. You also gain the Shapechanger Subtype.

MOWS FEATS

Anonymous Humanoid
You spend much time perfecting the forms of the Humanoid.
Prerequisites: Humanoid Magic, 6th level
Benefits: You can choose this feat multiple times. Each time you choose it you gain an additional Humanoid Form or Enhanced Humanoid Form.

Practiced Humanoid
You spend much time perfecting the arts of the Humanoid.
Prerequisites: Humanoid Magic, 6th level
Benefits: You can choose this feat multiple times. Each time you choose it you gain an additional Burglaring or Humanoid Magic ability.

Anklebiter
You is one sneaky kitty
Prerequisites: Tiny Size or the ability to gain it somehow
Benefits: You do not provoke an Attack of Opportunity when entering an opponents square.

Catfall
You really always do land on your feet.
Prerequisites: Mows, Jump 4 ranks
Benefits: This Feat may be taken multiple times. The first time it subtracts 20' of distance from any falls you take, plus an additional 20' each time you take the Feat again.

Evade Notice
Just a cat passing by, nuthin' to see here...
Prerequisites: Mows, Bluff 4 ranks
Benefits: If you can make a successful Bluff vs Sense Motive Check against opponents, they don't really notice you if you don't do anything out of order. In other words if you, as a cat, walk past them and it's normal for cats to be in the area, they don't even remember you (and you get +4 on the Check). If you walk into an area where it might be odd (say the King's treasure chamber) they may wonder "How did that cat get in here?", but the worst they'll do is shoo you. If you're hanging out somewhere odd (in a herd of Rhinos), you get at least a -4 on the Check. Obviously you end up screwing yourself if you do something like make an attack or cast a spell.

Improved Evade Notice
Just a cat, stealing your keys, nuthin' to see here...
Prerequisites: Mows, Bluff 8 ranks, Evade Notice
Benefits: You no longer take the Check penalty for performing odd actions, but you still can't attack anyone.

Fussiness
You are picky about what you eat.
Prerequisites: Mows, Improved Scent
Benefits: You can detect if food or drink within 10' of you is poisonous or not with a DC 15 Wisdom check.

The Paw from Nowhere
You just love to whack people from hiding
Prerequisites: Mows, Sneak Attack, Hide 6 ranks
Benefits: If you successfully Sneak Attack an opponent who is unaware of your presence, he must make a Willpower Save (DC is 10 plus half HD plus Charisma Modifier) or be Shaken for the duration of the encounter.

Being vicious predators they also can't make Handle Animal checks as animals are terrified of them.

I lol'd at this, considering they otherwise appear like kitties, which aren't exactly the most intimidating things to large animals, like cows and horses. :smallbiggrin:

Most equipment will be double the weight and anywhere from double to quadruple the cost for them. They cannot wield weapons. If someone is willing to help them in and out of it they can wear armor.

This, I didn't entirely agree with. Going by the Armor for Unusual Creatures section of the PHB and the foot notes to the various tables, armor would cost normal and weigh 1/10th of the normal, weapons would probably cost at least double and weigh 1/10th and other items would probably cost half and weigh an 1/8th. This isn't to say you could get it off the rack, as you'll probably have to special order the majority of it, but making smaller equipment weigh double makes no sense, since you use less material. As for weapons, while most aren't usable, some custom weapons could be, like bladed gauntlets and such.

Some armours come with gauntlets, which would give the MOW manufactured weapons if the armour is made to fit them, this might allow them to use spiked or clawed gauntlets as well.

Lords of Madness has the Mouthpick Weapon, allowing a MOW to replace its bite attack with a manufactured weapon attack.

Mows are edited. THey look better now?

Norr

2010-05-31, 09:42 AM

They look a lot better.

The carrying capacity doesn't follow the values in SRD: Carrying capacity (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/carryingCapacity.htm), MOWS should have 3/4ths the carrying capacity of a medium humanoid (or the same as a halfling).
Their generally low strength should compensate for this though.

While there are no numbers for tiny weapons and items weight, the "armor for unusual creatures" table says one-tenth the weight (and half AC) for tiny armours, so assuming this is the case for weapons and items isn't too far-fetched. Weapons and items COULD be 1/4th medium weight though, but it's probably easier to assume 1/10 weight for all tiny gear. Most of it will have to be custom-made, since orcs, highwaymen and cultists never drop tiny gear (unless they are Grig highwaymen of course).

Some of the drawbacks of nonhumanoid form can be bypassed by Boots- and Gloves of Man, at a price. Completely fair if you ask me.

The Mows are a race of magically awakened housecats who have somehow begun to breed true and have Awakened children. They enjoy their reputation for being no end of trouble.

Why do awakened housecats live so much longer than normal housecats?

From Wikipedia: "In captivity, an average life expectancy for male indoor cats at birth is 12 to 14 years, with females usually living a year or two longer. However, there have been records of cats reaching into their 20s and 30s, with the oldest known cat, Creme Puff, dying at a verified age of 38."

When you do the next thread in this series (since we are getting near the 50 page limit), you might want to consider quoting all the actual classes and such so it can be found more easily without digging through the comments of us and you. I also recommend that the last post of this thread be a link to the new thread, and if you can edit in a link from the FIRST post of this thread(probably right at the top) to the new thread, that would be good too. A link from the first post of the new thread to this thread for those who want to study old discussion would be good.

Basically, see how I did it with my two Falling Anvil threads (although that was for a different reason and I might not have put the end-of-first-thread-to-first-post-of-new-thread link in).

getting a little head start on the next race whilst I finish up the racial Feats/levels for the Mows

CAT-ELVES

Picture URL if you have one

"I'm hawt. I know this cause everyone I know says so."

Cat Elves appear to be elflike humanoids with kitty ears and a tail. Many also have catlike eyes and whiskers. Skin color is usually quite bronzed, and hair and eye color varies depending on what parent they take after most.

CAT-ELF RACIAL TRAITS
· +2 Dex, +2 Cha
· Medium
· Humanoid
· Base Land speed 40 ft.
· Low Light Vision
· Mixed Blooded: Cat Elves are considered both Catfolk and Elves for purposes of spells, magic items, abilities, etc. You may also take Feats only available to Elves and Catfolk.
· Cat Elves gain a +2 Racial Bonus on Listen, Move Silently, Search, and Spot Checks
· Automatic and Bonus Languages: Cat-Elves automatically speak Common, Elven, and Feline. Bonus languages: Draconic, Gnoll, Gnome, and Sylvan.
· Level Adjustment: +1
· Favored Class: Duskblade

STARTING AGE
Adulthood: 20
Barbarian, Rogue, Sorcerer: +1d6
Bard, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger: +2d6
Cleric, Druid, Monk, Wizard: +3d6

AGING EFFECTS
Middle Age: 62
Old: 93
Venerable: 123
Maximum Age: +3d20 years

HEIGHT AND WEIGHT
Base Height: Male: 4'7" Female: 4'5"
Height Modifier: +2d8"
Base Weight: Male: 100 lbs. Female: 80 lbs.
Weight Modifier: x2d4 lbs.

CAT-ELF CHARACTERS
If you need a swashbuckling dexterity based type the Cat-Elf is perfect for you. They also make pretty good fighter/casters of a certain type.
Adventuring Race: Cat-Elves go on adventures to have fun, see the world, learn new things, and find/steal neat stuff. That way you can really brag about it when you go back home, and make everyone else jealous. Plus the whole money thing is appealing.
Character Development: Cat-Elves are natural born gishes. Most seem to be multiclassed in some manner as they never commit to any one class for too long, other than classes that allow them some flexibility. Although some also become obsessed with perfecting a certain skill or ability and follow a class to the end.
Character Names: Cat-Elves usually use some mix of Catfolk and Elven names.

ROLEPLAYING A CAT-ELF
If you insist on playing an attractive catgirl/boy, this is perfect for you. Yeah you'll have to put up with a lot of jokes, but screw those people you have a cute, fwuffy tail. And you have spookity kitty powers (at least you tell everyone you have spookity kitty powers).
Personality: Much like housecats you tend to be playful, curious, and love a good nap. New things are good and always require your presence as you must investigate. If there's a fight you must be involved. If there are attractive people you must hit on them. Well not 'must', but you are a bit hormonally whacko.
Behaviors: People telling you what to do tend to get tuned out if there's something interesting going on. This is not to say you can't work well with others or in groups, just that you feel the need to maintain a sense of your own independence. You also tend to be flirty, speak thoughtlessly, and be somewhat mood-swingy in accordance with the usual stereotypes about your kind.
Language: Cat Elves grow up learning the languages of their two parent races.

CAT-ELF SOCIETY
Many years in the Past the Jester (a God known for kidnapping beings from various points of the multiverse to populate his own demiplane) swiped an entire doomed nation of catfolk. With nowhere to place them on his plane other than a large grasslands next to the Elven forests, he plunked them down right next to Alfheim (i.e. the Elven homeland).

The Elves objected. It had taken them long to found their very own nations where all Elvenkind could be accepted without any snide gay jokes at their expense, and now these scruffy barbarian Catfolk had been dumped in their lap. The Catfolk weren't exactly happy about their new snooty neighbors who seemed to be born with sticks up their behinds either. So the Jester cursed them with an uncontrollable sexual attraction for each other. Ideally this was supposed to lead to a reduction of tensions between the races. What it led to was rampant adultery and children born into illegitimacy. And an entire new race of Cat Elves that seemed to breed true, creating more Cat Elves. And a new generation of racist elf jokes revolving around bestiality as opposed to their being gay. Fortunately they now have clawed offspring willing to give attitude adjustments to would be comedians.

Alignment : Cat Elves tend to be whimsical and self indulgent, musch like actual cats (and, some would say, actual Elves). They have strong tendencies towards Chaotic Neutral.
Lands : The Cat Elves mostly live in Alfheim.
Settlements : Cat Elves prefer to settle in open grassy areas. In a pinch they'll take hills or forest to fuss around in but they really like savanna.
Beliefs : Cat Elves generally prefer a mix of the Elven and Cat Gawds.
Relations: Cat Elves get along well with Elves, Catfolk, most feline races, Fey, and Gnomes. Sometimes they find humans a little overbearing, and Dwarves are too stuffy. Orcs are good for rough play if they could get over the whole religious zealot/slave monger thingie.

CAT-ELF ADVENTURES
· A group of Dopplegangers is taking advantage of the local curse to pursue Elves and Catfolk for 'extramarital adventures'. As the Elders do not wish there to be a bunch of Half Doppleganger children running about, you have been assigned to find and escort them from the area. Or shoot them. Whatever works.
· A thief has been stealing the local finery, jewelry, clothes, etc. The Cat-Elves are being blamed due to their love of shiny things. You must find the true culprit (or hide him if it's a Cat Elf while returning the stuff).
· The evil spookity Orc persons are out for slaves again and their after some Elf meat. And mom has been missing a day or two. You could go look for her, but why not jump to conclusions and assault the Orcs village instead?

CAT-ELF RACIAL SUBSTITUTION LEVELS

TIBBIT RACIAL SUBSTITUTION LEVELS
Level 1: Replace Kitty Form with Tibbits Rule!

Tibbit's Rule! (Su): Tibbits natural abilities mesh well with the Cat Burglars powers. A Tibbit gains all the Abilities of Kitty Form (since they are actually better than his racial abilities) with one exception: His equipment molds to fit his Kitty Form as is mentioned in the Tibbit's entry(the one advantage Tibbit's natural powers have over the Cat Burglars). Please note this means the Tibbit can change into and out of Kitty Form at will, and doesn't have to wait an hour. Tibbit's also gain a Bonus Kitty Feat at 1st level. In campaigns where Cat Burglar is available Tibbit's may choose it as their Favored Class. Tibbit's also gain the same stat adjustments as other Small races (see below). A Tibbit is considered to have the Kitty Form ability for purposes of Feats and Class Prerequisites.

CATFOLK RACIAL SUBSTITUTION LEVELS
Level 1: Replace Kitty Form with an alternate Kitty Form.

Ability (Su): Instead of Charisma the Catfolks class abilities key off of Wisdom.

CAT HENGEYOKAI RACIAL SUBSTITUTION LEVELS
Level 1: Replace Kitty Form with Neko Form.

Neko Form (Su): Cat Hengeyokai's natural powers and class abilities mesh well. Neko Form gives them all the abilities of Kitty Form, and they may assume Hybrid Form at will as well. Their Cat Burglar Level is considered to be 1 higher than normal for purposes of qualifying for Kitty Feats (i.e. a 4th level Cat Burglar Hengeyokai is considered 5th level for purposes of qualifying for Feats only). Neko Form is identical to Kitty Form for purposes of qualifying for Feats.

SMALL RACE RACIAL SUBSTITUTION LEVELS
Level 1: Replace Kitty Form with an alternate Kitty Form.

Kitty Form (Su): You gain all the normal bonuses from Kitty Form except for the stat changes. In Small Kitty Form your stats do not change. In Tiny Kitty Form you gain +4 Dex, -4 Str. In Diminutive Kitty Form you gain +6 Dex, -6 Str.

TINY RACE RACIAL SUBSTITUTION LEVELS
Level 1: Replace Kitty Form with an alternate Kitty Form.

Kitty Form (Su): You gain all the normal bonuses from Kitty Form except for the stat changes. In Small Kitty Form you gain +2 Str. In Tiny Kitty Form your stats do not change. In Diminutive Kitty Form you gain +4 Dex, -4 Str.

LARGE RACE RACIAL SUBSTITUTION LEVELS
Level 1: Replace Kitty Form with an alternate Kitty Form.

Kitty Form (Su): You gain all the normal bonuses from Kitty Form except for the stat changes. In Small Kitty Form you gain +6 Dex, -6 Str. In Tiny Kitty Form you gain +8 Dex, -8 Str. In Diminutive Kitty Form you gain +10 Dex, -10 Str.

SHIFTER RACIAL SUBSTITUTION LEVELS
Level 1: Replace Kitty Form with an alternate Kitty Form.

Kitty Form (Su): All powers and abilities gained from the Cat burglar Class or from Prestige Classes that have Cat Burglar Class Abilities as prerequisites are based on Constitution instead of Charisma.

Cat Elves done

Cieyrin

2010-06-30, 09:04 AM

Finally back and able to do things again! =D

Cat-Elves aren't that different from Catfolk at all. The only thing that makes them different at all mechanically is the Mixed Blood ability. If you want to step up the differences and possibly remove the LA, I'd definitely throw on the -2 Con, emphasizing their elven heritage.

The Duskblade substitution levels are really strong. Tack a save onto Poke or something, as denying someone a chance to act, no save, is ridiculous at level 4. It's basically a free Daze on attack.

Elf School is pretty weak, as getting 4 martial weapons for a feat isn't that great, as anyone who cares will just pick up a level in a class that grants all martials, anyways. Yeah, it's more efficient than taking Martial Weapon Proficiency 4 times but it's not Improved Weapon Familiarity by any stretch.

Them's my 2 coppers. Take as you will.

Are the cat-elves still getting +2 to Dex and Cha but no penalty to Con? I think that they should get a -2 Con like elves.

Also being Humanoid doesn't give you low-light vision; See Humanoid traits. Cat-folk should low-light vision as a Special Ability due to their Elf traits or to their Cat traits.

Here are the Elf traits (not Humanoid traits):

Elf Traits (Ex)

Elves possess the following racial traits.

* +2 Dexterity, -2 Constitution.
* Medium size.
* An elf’s base land speed is 30 feet.
* Immunity to sleep spells and effects, and a +2 racial saving throw bonus against enchantment spells or effects. (Not reflected in the saving throw modifiers given here.)
* Low-light vision.
* Weapon Proficiency: Elves are automatically proficient with the longsword, rapier, longbow, composite longbow, shortbow, and composite shortbow.
* +2 racial bonus on Listen, Search, and Spot checks. An elf who merely passes within 5 feet of a secret or concealed door is entitled to a Search check to notice it as if she were actively looking for it.
* Automatic Languages: Common, Elven. Bonus Languages: Draconic, Gnoll, Gnome, Goblin, Orc, Sylvan.
* Favored Class: Wizard.

2010-07-04, 10:33 PM

Somewhat random, but I might suggest changing the name of the new Cat Burglar class as it isn't really much focused on being a burglar and then have the original one be the cat burglar. They'd still likely work together in guilds, but it would make more sense from a naming perspective as cat burglar implies some focus on stealth and/or theft, while you yourself said the latter version of the class was made upon noting that most people didn't want to play an über stealth kitty so much as a mini cuisinart. Just a thought.

Just for the concept, this class is epic. And hilarious - but that's probably the point.

Anyway, just dropped this to say that the PDF link you give is throwing the following error at me.

"The file link that you requested is not valid. "

Please, fix the linky. I want this class soo bad.

Bhu

2010-07-07, 05:51 PM

The class got taken down by 4 shared due to a complaint. Apparently a mvoie company thought the name and concept was too close to a cartoon character they made recently. I can email it to you if you want.

Got the cat Burglar Racial substitution levels for the Mows started. Im trying to think of as many options for them in humanoid form as the regular class gets in kitty form, but im coming up short for the moment

I know the Feline Way is wayyy back about 5 pages, but I have to congratulate you on a job well done!

I don't know if you ever have read "The Cats of Ulthar" and "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath" by H.P. Lovecraft, but the character I created is the reincarnated Prince of Ulthar, and the idea of a cat discipline is a perfect fit for a martial adept who is the prince of a domain heavily populated by cats.

At the risk of ripping off "Contact"...

THE ABOMINABLE SNOW KITTY

Unnatural Scent(Su): At 8th level you gain the Unnatural Scent Feat (see below).

PLAYING AN ABOMINABLE SNOW KITTY
You are both a protector of the Guilds hidden bases, and a rescuer of trapped people. This gives you an important release, as the drunken schmucks you have to take crap from during the day are the same guys you make poop themselves in fear at night. Truly, yours is a rewarding job. And the best part is, no one suspects you of getting revenge by performing these little capers. It's always the evil "Cat Faced Yeti". Snickerlols.
Combat: Unless your in Yeti form avoid combat, you aren't optimized for it. Make sure to pimp out your Yeti form with some nice Grapple Feats tho. Hugging people to death is both fun and profitable.
Advancement: Your double life usually means you'll be kind of restricted in what you do. After all people will have all those expectations of you. The hero of the mountain. Their savior. The guys who's robbing them blind on the side.
Resources: You have the Guild of course. And as one of their frontline operatives you have more than the usual access to equipment because you'll need it to pull off all sorts of ruses. Plus since drunk people barf on you a lot you honestly think yu deserve the extra bling.

ABOMINABLE SNOW KITTIES IN THE WORLD
"Thank god that little kitty smelled me under the snow so the rescue team could get me! Otherwise that Cat-Faced Yeti everyone talks about might've found me first!"
In your rescue operations you are well loved, especially by the peasantry. Unknown to all you are also charged with protecting the Guilds secret operations hidden in the mountains and double as the feared Cat-faced Yeti.
Daily Life: During the day you are a rescue operations kitty. You sniff out people buried in avalanches, arrange for wood to be brought to the poor, etc. After that however you do your best to discourage anyone from approaching your Guilds secret headquarters by spreading rumor of monsters, and appearing as the mysterious and legendary CFY.
Notables: Little Samson (CG Male Human Cat Burglar 7/Abominable Snow Kitty 5) is the head rescue cat of his division, and well loved by the local populace. Big Snuggle (CN Human Female Cat Burglar 7/Abominable Snow Kitty 5) is the head Yeti. She organizes scaring the bejeebus out of locals to keep them away from the Guilds base of operations.
Organizations: The Snow Rescue Guild is made of concerned individuals in areas of heavy yearly snowfall. The Cat Burglars Guild infiltrated them early offering their services, since the semi official recognition of being a Rescuer means being able to walk into a lot of places perfectly legally they might otherwise be barred from if they were just commoners or merchants.

NPC Reaction
You are quite beloved as the magical kitties who rescue trapped people. You are very feared as the Cat Faced Yeti.

ABOMINABLE SNOW KITTIES IN THE GAME
Being a member of a rescue team and the Guild means you will be called upon to do things that may interfere with adventuring.
Adaptation: This one might be adaptable to a non silly campaign, but...
Encounters: PC's will usually encounter you as you pull them from an avalanche, or try to bluff them off as the Yeti.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's are poking through the local woods when one of them who goes off alone is ambushed by the local legend: A Cat Faced Yeti. It flees eventually but the player should be a little nervous as she can hear more of them...

Yes I did do one for the older version of the class. Since I changed the class I need to add revised PrC's that work with the new class. Fortunately it should be easier as I already have the fluff and such done :smallbiggrin:

Also, updated kitteh again. It just needs an example NPC and the New Kitty Feasts and its on to the next one.

Bhu

2010-08-02, 12:57 AM

Okay all thats left is teh example NPC so I guess I can get a head start on the next one:

AKANEKO CLAN

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc70/bhutastan/Cats/FireCat.jpg

"The samurai killed your family? Yeah we can get revenge. It'll cost ya, but since you've touched our hearts we'll let you pay in installments."

The Akaneko (“Red Cat”) Ninja clan has devoted itself to revenge by arson. And sometimes extortion via the threat of arson. And sometimes they just burn stuff cause it makes them giggle. Darn cats.

BECOMING AN AKANEKO
The Akaneko normally begin as fire obsessed Ninjas with a level or so in Cat Burglar. The cat disguise makes it easier to get around guards looking for bad guys.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Class Abilities: Kitty Form, Blinding Flash (See Dragon magazine 354, page 86, it's a Ninja variant class ability), Enhanced Kitty Form (Spidercat), Kitty Magic (Bouncies)
Skills: Balance 4 ranks, Craft (Alchemy) 4 ranks, Disable Device 4 ranks, Open Lock 4 ranks
Feats: Nimble Fingers, Skill Focus: Craft (Alchemy)
Saving Throws: Base Reflex Save +6
Special: Must be born to or sponsored by a member of the Akaneko Ninja Clan

Class Skills
The Akaneko's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Balance, Dex), Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Disable Device (Int), Gather Information (Cha), Hide (Dex), Jump (Str), Knowledge (Local)(Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Open Lock (Dex), Profession (Wis), Search (Int), and Spot (Wis)
Skills Points at Each Level : 6 + int

Hit Dice: d6

BAB Fort Ref Will Abilities
1. +0 +0 +2 +0 Fire Flash, Ki Power
2. +1 +0 +3 +0 Fire Resistance 5
3. +2 +1 +3 +1 Fiery Craftsman +2
4. +3 +1 +4 +1 Fire Flash
5. +3 +1 +4 +1 Fire Resistance 10
6. +4 +2 +5 +2 Fiery Craftsman +4
7. +5 +2 +5 +2 Fire Flash
8. +6 +2 +6 +2 Fire Resistance 15
9. +6 +3 +6 +3 Fiery Craftsman +6
10.+7 +3 +7 +3 Red Cat

Weapon Proficiencies: Akaneko gain no new armor or weapon proficiencies

Ki Power: Your Akaneko and Ninja levels stack for purposes of determining how many times per day you may use your Ki Power.

Fire Flash (Su): At 1st level the Akaneko can expend 1 daily use of his Ki Power to seemingly explode in a burst of fire and light. This does 2d6 fire damage in a 10' area centered on the Akaneko, and all victims in this range must make a Fortitude Save (DC is 10 plus half Hit Dice plus Charisma Modifier) or be blinded for 1d6 rounds. Anything flammable must make a save or catch on fire. The Akaneko is immune to this effect.

At 4th level your fire flash damage and the area of the explosion is enhanced. You may either do 6d6 fire damage in a 10' area, or 4d6 fire damage in a 20' area (choose when using this power).

At 7th level this increases to 8d6 fire damage in a 20' area.

Fire Resistance (Ex): The Akaneko gains Fire Resistance 5 at level 2, and this increases to 10 at level 5, and increases again to 15 at level 8.

Fiery Craftsman (Ex): At 3rd level the Akaneko gains a +2 Competence Bonus on all Craft (Alchemy) checks to make fire based items such as Alchemist's Fire, Fireworks, Smokesticks, and Tindertwigs. He may create these items despite not technically being a spellcaster. At 6th level the bonus increases to +4. At 9th level the bonus increases to +6.

Red Cat (Su): At 10th level you may change into Fiery Kitty Form. While in Fiery Kitty Form you become an Elemental with the Fire subtype. You get an additional +2 to Dexterity, Immunity to Fire, Dark Vision 60', a +3 natural Armor Bonus to AC, and all your Natural Weapons do an additional 1d4 fire damage and the opponent must make a Reflex Save (DC is 10 plus half Hit Dice plus Charisma Modifier) or catch fire and burn for 1d4 rounds (does 1d4 damage per round). This is still considered Kitty Form for purposes of Feats/effects.

PLAYING AN AKANEKO
Akaneko's are skilled specialists. You are part of a tradition going back a long time. A very hated tradition, but a tradition nonetheless. You can take some pride in perfecting a difficult skill. Just don't act too proud when you get caught by the Lynch mob.
Combat: You are not a fighter. You get in, do the job, and get out. Other people do fighting, that isn't your profession. You set fire to flammable entities and laugh maniacally while screaming "Burn, baby, burn!"
Advancement: Concentrate on stealth, because you definitely don't want to be caught. Not by anyone. And make sure you have something to effect your escape if you do get caught. Cause your headed for the gallows if they catch you. Assuming they have a fireproof gallows. Otherwise they just cut your head off.
Resources: The Akaneko's have their clan to rely on unless they reaaally screw up bad in a public way. Arsonists tend to be pretty hated when most buildings are made of wood, and fire is hard to put out. Sometimes they simply have to go on the run if they get caught.

AKANEKO’S IN THE WORLD
"Sudo-san, I'd like to discuss the insurance policy on my business..."
The Akaneko seem like ordinary merchants until someone needs something burned down. But beyond their day job they don't really interact with people much at all.
Daily Life: The Akaneko's spend their time scrounging for the necessary materials for their trade while awaiting business. They also have regular jobs, usually fireworks makers or chemists or such.
Notables: Daizu Fukuhara (CN Male Human Cat Burglar 3/Ninja 5/Akaneko 4) is a local fireworks salesman who subsidizes his business in the off seasons by gaining revenge for the peasantry via arson. Enko Takamatsu (CE Female Human Cat Burglar 3/Ninja 5/Akaneko 4) became an Akaneko because it was the family business, but mostly to gain revenge on the Emperor for killing her grandfather.
Organizations: The Akaneko's themselves are a Ninja Clan, so they pretty much are an organization.

NPC Reaction
NPC's dislike the Akaneko's by reputation. The fires they set often do unintended collateral damage and cause deaths and needless harm.

AKANEKO’S IN THE GAME
Arson is a pretty twitchy revenge method for a comedy campaign, but arson can be used for other things like insurance scams. Putting an insurance scam in a feudal oriental setting outta mess with the PC's.
Adaptation: This class assumes that your campaign is at least mildly mean in that there are people willing to hire arsonists often enough that one can make a living at it.
Encounters: PC's usually be hired to find how who is committing arson in a district when they meet an Akaneko, or blunder into them performing the act.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's are sleeping when one is awoken by a small cat that leaps on his bed. The cat politely asks the PC's to leave town and never come back. When the PC declines the cat explodes into flame, setting the hotel room on fire. Damn spontaneously combusting local housecats...

And then there's the "mysterious accident" at the fireworks show...

And their horses suddenly exploding...

ARISTOCAT

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc70/bhutastan/Cats/kingcat.jpg

It had been many months since Karsk had left his Orcish tribe to find work in the city. Being a half breed had made life hard there for him. Eventually he had fallen in with a rather odd Thieve's Guild in desperation because no one else would hire him. And now, here he was, in the form of a small cat in the bedroom of the King's daughter. King Leopold had been more ruthless than he had thought. It seemed he had a personal goal of killing 10 men a day. Even Karsk's Orcish father hadn't been that bad. And now here he was being held by Leopold's innocent 8 year old daughter. A girl who had harmed no one. A girl who thought of him as her beloved pet and only friend in the world. A girl who would probably be slaughtered along with her parents in a few weeks when the revolution came. It was a risk but Karsk had made a plan.

"Princess. Wake up."

"Snuggles? Are you really talking?"

"Yes Princess. I'm a magical talking kitty. I..I was wondering if you'd like to sneak out some night to meet my friends."

"YEAH!"

"Good. Speak of this to no one, and be ready tomorrow night. You get some rest now."

As she went back to sleep Karsk hoped he could pull this off. He was uncertain if he could get the Guild to adopt the King's former daughter, but he couldn't let a small child be killed for the crimes of her parents. As he faded into sleep he thought "Mine is a lonely and twisted life" not for the first time.

Aristocats are former members of the nobility adopted by the Cat Burglar Guilds to use to their advantage. Sometimes the Guilds overthrow evil monarchies, and reestablish members who were unjustly deposed, or had their families killed, etc. This is good because then the Guild gets to be semi legitimate (i.e. the secret police). Sometimes they adopt the children of aristocracies they themselves have put to the sword out of pity, and raise the poor kids as their own. Just because a kids parents were evil bastards don't mean they'll turn out that way.

BECOMING AN ARISTOCAT
Aristocats begin as nobles of whatever class, and then become Cat Burglars.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Special: Must have at least 1 level in the Aristocrat NPC class or a class associated with the nobility of your country.
SKills: Bluff 4 ranks, Knowledge (Local) 4 ranks, Knowledge (History) 4 ranks, Knowledge (Nobility) 4 ranks, Gather Information (4 Ranks), Diplomacy 4 ranks
Class Abilities: Kitty Form, Kitty Magic (Innocence)
Feats: Leadership, Force of Personality

Class Skills
The Aristocat's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Appraise (Int), Bluff (Cha), Diplomacy (Cha), Disguise (Cha), Forgery (Int), Gather Information (Cha), Hide (Dex), Knowledge (History, Local, Nobility)(Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Perform (Cha), Search (Int), Sense Motive (Wis), Spot (Wis), and Use Magic Device (Cha)
Skills Points at Each Level : 8 + int

Hit Dice: d6

BAB Fort Ref Will Abilities
1. +0 +0 +2 +2 Inspire
2. +1 +0 +3 +3 Intrigue
3. +2 +1 +3 +3 Improved Leadership
4. +3 +1 +4 +4 Inspire
5. +3 +1 +4 +4 Intrigue

7. +5 +2 +5 +5 Inspire
8. +6 +2 +6 +6 Intrigue
9. +6 +3 +6 +6 Improved Leadership
10.+7 +3 +7 +7 Aura of Nobility

Weapon Proficiencies: Aristocats gain no new weapon proficiencies.

Inspire (Ex): The Aristocat is so inspiring all Allies (not including herself) gain a Morale Bonus to all rolls as long as you are within 30'. The Bonus is +2 at level 1, +4 at level 4, and +6 at level 7. The range increases to 60' at level 4, and 90' at level 7.

Intrigue (Ex): At 2nd level the Aristocat gets a +2 Competence Bonus to all Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Information, and Sense Motive Checks. This increases to +4 at level 5, and +6 at level 8. In addition when dealing with members of the noble classes you may always Take 10 on your Charisma Based Skill Checks.

Improved Leadership (Ex): Due to his increasing fame the Aristocats Leadership score improves by +2 at level 3, +4 at level 6, and +6 at level 9. See DMG page 106 for the effects of your Leadership Score. Even if the Aristocat has not been successful, potential followers simply believe he/she has had bad luck, or just faces impossible odds. Meaning they tend to sign up all the more.

Aura of Nobility (Su): As a Standard Action you may demand your opponents (well all of them within 30' anyway) lay down their arms and cease hostilities. If they fail a Willpower Save (DC is 10 plus half hit dice plus Charisma Modifier) the fools actually do it. You have 1d6 rounds to use Diplomacy before they will raise the alarm, start fighting again, summon demons, etc. If they succeed in the Save, they are instead Shaken for 2 rounds. This ability cannot be used after fighting has begun. When using this ability successfully the Bonus from your Inspire ability increases by +2 for 6 rounds (i.e. +5 instead of +3).

PLAYING AN ARISTOCAT
You are dedicated to seeing the corrupt governments of the world fall, and seeing their members brought to justice (i.e. killed). Along with their evil minions. And perhaps their evil pets as well. Fortunately you don't have some massive chip on your shoulder to get in the way of progress for your goal...
Combat: You only fight when you have to, and always as part of a team. Stealth and misdirection are more important than brute force. Plus if things go bad you have meat shields. Always important them meat shields. Never go anywhere without them.
Advancement: Theoretically if your revolution is successful you could replace the government. Otherwise you may have to settle for heading the Guild, or dying in jail.
Resources: Being former nobility there are always distant relatives you can call upon for occasional favors (as long as you haven't faked your own death or they've figured out you're a Guild member). This is assuming of course all your relatives aren't blocked from taking the throne by your existence placing you in line ahead of them.

ARISTOCATS IN THE WORLD
"Priscilla!!!! Oh thank the Gods we'd thought those evil cat beasts had gotten you along with your mother Queen Bile!"
Aristocats lead a double life quite frequently. They are either leading a revolution against the aristocracy, or involved in fleecing them. Either way the peasants tend to love them since they're able to do the one thing the peasants can't do: give the nobility the finger. Well so to speak.
Daily Life: Much of your time is taken up by intrigue and plotting. You spend much time leading the revolt and kissing the nobility's butt in order to gain their trust.
Notables: Princess Gwyneth (NG Human Female Aristocrat1/Cat Burglar 5/Aristocat 6) was rescued by the Guild as a small child, and now vies to reclaim her throne before her vile cousins do. The Duke of Paddington (CN Human Male Rogue 1/Cat Burglar 5/Aristocat 6) is the last of his line, and has rejected the life of a noble for that of a highwayman.
Organizations: Generally you usually belong to a peasant revolution of some kind, along with the Guild. The Guild doesn't mind this as in many cases it has created peasant revolutions to replace the nobility with it's members.

NPC Reaction
Governments tend to fear you. Their subjects love you. Maybe a little too much. Their support is okay, but the constant hugging...

ARISTOCATS IN THE GAME
Being that the members of this class are former nobility they may end up hogging more limelight than normal as they'll have excess baggage (enemies). You'll need to balance that out a little.
Adaptation: This one is definitely a silly campaign class, but it might work for a campaign based on traditional fairy tales as well.
Encounters: If the PC's work for the Monarchy, they'll probably be seeing cats steal their stuff or biting them in the odd hours of night a lot. If they oppose it, small kitties may bring them the occasional potion or helpful gift...

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's have been hired to smuggle a fancy cat out of the country because for some reason the various nobles squabbling over the throne want it because it was the Princesses favorite pet, and they hope to use it to lure her out of hiding to murder her quietly. But there are two cats when they arrive for the pickup...

Sir Shadow

2010-08-11, 09:09 AM

The original Aristocat is a very nice class, it's just that it's main focus is leadership and providing bonuses for allies, which aren't usually very popular classes.

In short: it doesn't shoot lazers out of its eyes or blow **** up so that's why it wasn't wildly received.

However, as far as class concept, it is probably my favorite PrC. I mean, you're a noble child that was saved by cat thieves? awesome.

BAD KITTY

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc70/bhutastan/Cats/black-cat-moon.jpg

"REEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWRRRRR!!

You exist to scare the crap out of people and take what you want. Screw being subtle like those other cats. Why spend all that time sneaking about when you can just make them void their bowel, and then snatch the bling while they try to cover their embarrassment.

BECOMING A BAD KITTY
Bad Kitties are normally Hexblades who drift into the Cat Burglar class.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Class Features: Kitty Form, Dark Companion
Feats: Black Cat, Empower Curse
Skills: Intimidate 8 Ranks

Class Skills
The Bad Kittie's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Climb (Str), Hide (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (Arcana) (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Spellcraft (Int), Spot (Wis), and Survival (Wis).
Skills Points at Each Level : 4 + int

Hit Dice: d8

BAB Fort Ref Will Abilities
1. +0 +0 +0 +2 Black Cat (Companion Merge), Hexblade's CUrse
2. +1 +0 +0 +3 Boo (Fear)
3. +1 +1 +1 +3 Don't Cross My Path (1 day)
4. +2 +1 +1 +4 Black Cat (Shadow Merge)
5. +2 +1 +1 +4 Boo (Eyebite)
6. +3 +2 +2 +5 Don't Cross My Path (1 year)
7. +3 +2 +2 +5 Black Cat (Shadow Walk)
8. +4 +2 +2 +6 Boo (Evil Glare)
9. +4 +3 +3 +6 Don't Cross My Path (permanent)
10.+5 +3 +3 +7 Baaaad Kitty

Weapon Proficiencies: Bad Kitties gain no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

Hexbalde's Curse: Your bad Kitty levels stack with your Hexblade Levels for purposes of your Hexblade's Curse DC.

Black Cat (Su): At 1st level you merge with your Dark Companion, and it becomes your shadow. A living shadow that occasionally moves on its own or has glowing eyes. Any opponent within 10 ft of you takes the -2 penalty to its Saves and AC.

At 4th level you can appear to merge with any shadow you enter and become as big as it. In other words if you walked into a shadow that stretched 10' long you would appear to turn into a 10' long shadow cat with glowing eyes. This gives you total concealment while inside the shadow, and all Intimidate checks receive a +8 Circumstance Bonus. This is a Mind-Affecting Effect. Any source of bright light adjacent to you (such as a torch) will negate this effect.

At 7th level you are always under the effect of a Greater Invisibility spell when in shadow, as long as you wish to be. This means just about anywhere at night, or in dark areas during the day. Any source of bright light (such as a torch) whose range you are in negates this effect.

Boo (Su): At 2nd level you may expend a daily use of your Hexblades Curse to cast the spell Fear as a Supernatural ability.

At 5th level you may expend a daily use of your Hexblades Curse to cast Eyebite as a Supernatural ability.

At 8th level you may expend a daily use of your Hexblades Curse to cast Evil Glare as a Supernatural Ability.

Dont Cross My Path (Su): At 3rd level the effects of your Hexblades Curse now afflict your victims for a full day.

At 6th level your curse now lasts for 1 full year.

At 9th level the effects of your curse are now permanent. In any case the effects can be removed by Remove Curse, Miracle, or Wish. You may also temporarily or permanently suspend it's effects if you wish (and may even make them resume after suspending them, though the subject will get another Save to resist if you do. You get one attempt to make the curse resume per day).

Baaaad Kitty (Ex): If you are killed your opponent is immediately and permanently afflicted by the spell Greater Bestow Curse. The recipient does not get a Saving Throw or Magic Resistance, and the only method of removing this curse is to return you to life or convince a deity to remove it in person.

PLAYING A BAD KITTY
You've been given a pretty raw deal in life. Everyone thought you were evil from birth because of your powers. Fortunately you also have some nice abilities to make up for it. And you pretty much use them to take what you want, and get even with anyone who ticks you off. Especially from the Elves. God you really hate the Elves...
Combat: Bad Kitties excel at causing fear and debuffing opponents. Focus on screwing up the other side long enough for your allies to whoop them and you'll do well. Besides why should you fight when there are meat shields for that.
Advancement: Most Bad Kitties just do their best to accumulate the most possible power with the least amount of effort. They aren't subtle or complex. They also like curses. Curses let them screw with people at will.
Resources: Bad Kitties tend to band together, and you can always call on your brothers in a pinch. The Cat Burglar Guilds sometimes help out but even they find you spooky. After all you tend to let the curses fly a lil too freely...

BAD KITTIES IN THE WORLD
"I hate them cats! Hate em! I'll choke em all someday!"
Bad Kitties are avoided, pretty much like regular Hexblades. Something about them spooks people. Little things like their habit of making people poop themselves.
Daily Life: You get up, steal breakfast. Maybe rob a few people or do some stuff. Steal lunch. Nap. Scare a few more people before stealing dinner. When night comes then you have your real fun...
Notables: Old Evil Eye (CN Male Human Cat Burglar 1/Hexblade 5/Bad Kitty 6) is a scruffy old cat living on the west side of town. Believed to be the familiar of an Evil Witch he himself had a hand in putting down, he uses the reputation to his benefit. Satan's Poptart (CE Female Elf Cat Burglar 3/hexblade 3/Bad Kitty 6) is a hell raiser and troublemaker legendary in her home city.
Organizations: Bad Kitties have no real organization. Even when they band together to help one another they pretty much fight as a mass of individuals, and go their own way after. Most Guilds hire them on an as is basis, usually for revenge purposes.

NPC Reaction
Most NPC's avoid Bad Kitties or cross themselves when they so much as a see you. Being confused with the Breathsuckers occasionally doesn't help. But your also a butthead, so lets face it you wouldn't be terribly popular anyway.

BAD KITTIES IN THE GAME
Bad Kitties lean towards chaotic alignments, and will tend to be disruptive. Even their allies don't trust them completely. Trouble and weirdness follow them wherever they go.
Adaptation: With a little adaptation this could fit into a horror campaign. Many mythological witches or monsters turn into cats.
Encounters: PC's will generally encounter a Bad Kitty as that spooky black cat crossing their path in the alley at night. Or maybe the cat that is watching them every time they look out the window. Or the one watching them sleep from the top of the dresser every morning.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's are walking down a dark alley when a yowling cat scares the crap out of them. And then curses them loudly in a human voice. And then sneaks into their room at night and wakes them up by staring at them while they are sleeping. And doing vile things to their shoes...

EPIC BAD KITTY

Hit Die: d8
Skills Points at Each Level : 4 + int
Bonus Feats: The Epic Bad Kitty gains a Bonus Feat every 2 levels higher than 20th.

Litter Box Curse
"FRAAAAAAAP!"
Prerequisites: Kitty Form, Hexblade's Curse, Extend Curse, Curse of Failure
Benefits: Instead of the usual effect, if your Hexblade's Curse is successful, the victim spontaneously empties his bowels anytime he hears or sees a cat within the next week. Aside from being the usual social Faux Pas, he suffers a -1 Morale Penalty on all rolls that week, increasing to -2 for 1 hour after each episode. Also, no matter how many times he "relieves" himself, there's still more to be emptied for purposes of the curse. If you have Greater Hexblade's Curse this increases the Penalty to -2/-4. Once you get the Dire Hexblade's Curse this increases to -4/-6.

LOLCurse
MWUHAHA!
Prerequisites: Kitty Form, Hexblade's Curse, any Curse Feat
Benefits: Instead of the usual effect, you may expend one daily use of your Hexblade's Curse ability to cast Tasha's Hideous Laughter as a Supernatural Ability. Once you get Greater Hexblade's Curse the Save DC fro this ability is +2 (+4 once you get Dire Hexblade's Curse).

Allergy Curse
"ACHOOO!!!"
Prerequisites: Kitty Form, Hexblade's Curse, any 2 Curse Feats
Benefits: Instead of the usual effect, if your Hexblade's Curse is successful your victim is now permanently and violently allergic to cats. They must make a DC 15 Fortitude Save whenever a feline (or a Cat Burglar in Kitty Form) is within 60' or be Nauseated as long as they are present and for 1d6 rounds after they leave. Remove Curse will dispel this effect. Once you get Greater Hexblade's Curse the Save DC is 17 (19 once you get Dire Hexblade's Curse).

Scratching Post
Cats know you mean trouble...
Prerequisites: Kitty Form, Hexblade's Curse, any 2 Curse Feats
Benefits: Instead of the usual effect, if your Hexblade's Curse is successful, feline's (this includes part felines like Sphinxes and Magical beings, not just animals) now hate your victim for the rest of his life, and receive a +4 Morale Bonus on all rolls made against him. Nothing will convince them to befriend him unless they are magically forced to. Remove Curse will dispel this effect. If you have the Greater Hexblade's Curse the Bonus is +6 (+8 if you have the Dire Hexblade's Curse).

Cross Not the Kitteh
"Toldja not to cross me pinky."
Prerequisites: Kitty Form, Hexblade's Curse, any 2 Curse Feats
Benefits: You may expend one daily use of your Hexblade's Curse Feat to create a path as you move this turn. Each square you step on this turn is magically booby trapped invisibly for a number of rounds equal to your Charisma Modifier. Anyone stepping on or through one of these squares must make a Willpower Save (Same DC as normal Hexblade's Curse), or lose any Luck Bonuses they may have. If you have a Greater Hexblade's Curse they lose all Luck Bonuses they currently have as well as being unable to gain any Luck Bonuses from any other source until their curse ends (and the path is now 'trapped' for a number of hours equal to your Charisma Modifier). If you have the Dire Hexblade's Curse you can negate any one type of Bonus, not just Luck (and the path remains trapped for 24 hours). Once the path has successfully curse someone it is safe to walk through again.

Interspecies Attractiveness
You should avoid Frost Giant's daughters man...
Prerequisites: Kitty Form, Hexblade's Curse
Benefits: Instead of the usual effect, if your Hexblade's Curse is successful, beautiful women of any species except his own find your victim incredibly sexy. The further removed from your own species they are, the worse it is. For example if you are a human, a Frost Giant woman might take no for an answer. If you have been confronted with a female Aboleth however, there's trouble ahead. Your Charisma based skills have a -2 Penalty (-4 if you have Greater Hexblade's Curse, -6 if you have Dire Hexblade's Curse) against all women not of your species as they don't view you as intelligent or worthwhile, just doable. Until they bed you their alignment is effectively Neutral Evil as they will consider any act to get you. This effect is permanent until removed by Remove Curse or a similar spell. Bad Kitties really love using this spell on Elves for some reason...

All prerequisite Feats mentioned may be found in Dragon magazine 339. The Hexblade here is using the creators suggested fixes. http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/19547530/Contacting_Wizards_of_the_Coast_about_Hex_Blades?p ost_id=332210466#332210466

If you wanted to make the Aristocat better, I'd say just increase the range of Inspire. Giving it full BAB wouldn't be a terrible idea either since it lacks any full-offensive class abilities.

Before you use the 'Interspecies atractiveness' curse, you should make sure your target isn't into that kind of thing first. Otherwise the target might ask you to renew it.
Of course, that gives you a whole new kind of leverage AND blackmail material.

BEAR WRASSLER

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc70/bhutastan/Cats/BearWrassler2.jpg

"Heeeeeere bearsie bearsie bearsie..."

Not all Cat Burglars Guilds are purely urban. Some disguise themselves as traveling actors or circuses. The Bear Wrassler is a sideshow attraction at the Cat Burglar carnivals which involve many trained (awakened) animals, or shapeshifters. He's also cheap muscle for the Guild. You wrestle bears and other animals for the public's amusement (usually an Awakened Animal who is your partner).

BECOMING A BEAR WRASSLER
Most Cat Burglars require a few levels of Barbarian to take this class. Or at least certain anger management issues. It helps being friends with a bear too.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Class Abilities: Kitty Form, Rage, Kitty Magic (A Cat's Ego)
Feats: Tomcat, Improved Grapple
Skills: Perform (Wrasslin) 6 Ranks

Bear Wrassler Skills
The Bear Wrassler's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Balance (Dex), Climb (Str), Escape Artist (Dex), Hide (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Knowledge (Geography) (Int), Knowledge (Nature) (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Perform (Cha), Spot (Wis), Survival (Wis), Swim (Str), and Tumble (Dex)
Skills Points at Each Level : 4 + int

Weapon Proficiencies: A Bear Wrassler gains no new weapon proficiencies.

Let's Wrassle(Ex): At first level you get a +4 Competence Bonus to all Grapple checks. This increases to +6 at level 4, and to +8 at level 8.

Wrasslin Feats: A Bear Wrassler gets a Bonus Feat from the following List at 2nd, 5th, 7th, and 9th levels: Baatorian Basher, Calico Bomb, Cheetah Rage, Clever Wrestling, Close-Quarters Fighting, Combat Expertise, Defensive Throw, Dropping the Big Yak, Eberronian Pomegranate Masacree, Faerunian Eel Lock, Fold/Spindle/Mutilate, Glom, Improved Initiative, Improved Trip, Leopard Rage, Lion Rage, Mexican Hairless Jamboree, No One Escapes the Monkey Lock, Prone Attack, Siamese Thunder Buster, Stop Hitting Yourself, Tabby Twister, The Dutch Oven Hold, The Flying Snuggle Attack, The Plastic Surgery Face Hold, The Pudding Hold, Tiger Rage, Touch of the Yeti

Mah Momma Knew How To Snuggle(Ex): You are taught the many small secret holds of your profession. The Ankle Cracker, the Stomach Lock, the Pooping Spleen. Call the attack what you will, it's darned effective. Whenever you successfully Pin an opponent in a grapple, you do +1d10 damage per round the Pin is maintained.. If you roll a 20 on the opposed Grapple check your opponent is also Sickened for 1d4 rounds. This attack can only be made against living creatures who have a discernable anatomy.

Mah Daddy Was The MAN!(Ex): You are taught the secret throws and takedowns of your profession. The Grovenian Troutbuster, the Tiger Suplex, the Halfback Brain Squishie. Whatever it is, and however you do it, after the maneuver is performed both you and your opponent are prone, and he's the worse for wear. To do this you must make a successful Grapple check. They take 2d6 damage plus your Strength modifier, and you are both prone. If you succeed by 10 or more on the grapple check he is also Stunned 1d3 rounds and you still maintain the Grapple after the attack is made.

Mah Grandaddy Was Part Chupacabra (Su): You add your Charisma modifier to all grapple checks, and to all damage rolls made by grapple attacks as an untyped Bonus.

PLAYING A BEAR WRASSLER
Make sure to specialize in grappling as it's what you'll be doing (and god knows when that bear your wrasslin' will decide to get uppity). At the appropriate level you may wish to take the Leadership Feat so you can have an Awakened Bear Cohort.....Or maybe you'll wish to take a few Charisma based skills and the Jibba Jabba Feat to do the prematch wrasslin' interview in style..
Combat: Your a grapple monkey pure and simple. You find a target, latch on, and do some damage. If you have the Bear Cohort you even get to double team (cheatin' is good!).
Advancement: Your goal is to someday open your own carnival or Bear Wrasslin' school most likely. After all there's no retirement plan in your job..
Resources: You rely on the carnival for resources (meager as they are) or steal your own. When traveling you can rely on your brother Bear Wrasslers (or fans) to put you up for the night if you encounter them.

BEAR WRASSLERS IN THE WORLD
"OMG that cats wrasslin' a bear! OMG he's leaped off the stage! OMG he's wrasslin' Bob! OMG He's taken Bob's coinpurse!"
Most people believe your a magical carnival animal that performs tricks and wrestles larger creatures for their amusement. The unlucky few who owe your Guild money know what the backside of your paw looks like though.
Daily Life: You spend your days performing tricks for the rubes, and your nights beating the more unfortunate ones senseless. You also party as hard as a poor carny can.
Notables: Molly aka "Fuzzy Thunder" (CG Gnome, Female, Cat Burglar 3/Barbarian 3/Bear Wrassler 6) is a newcomer on the circuit. She has wowed many an audience of late, and may compete in the World Championship Kitty Wrasslin' circuit this year.
Organizations: Bear Wrasslers are rarely more organized than simple wandering carnivals. They recognize each other as brothers though, and will help each other out in time of need.

NPC Reaction
Most people aren't too keen on being beaten up by a cat when they refuse to pay the money they owe. On the other hand you're loved by the crowds. You may even have a small measure of fame.
BEAR WRASSLERS IN THE GAME
Your prolly gonna give Awakened Cats (and Bears) and carnivals a bad name. Other than that you shouldn't be too disruptive to add to a campaign.
Adaptation: Personally I think this class is a little more out there than the others. This is definitely a humor campaign only.
Encounters: Usually PC's will only encounter members of this class if they see their act, or the carnival has some 'bidness' with them...

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's are stunned watching a small cat apparently wrestling a black bear into submission. They're even more stunned when a carny hands the party rogue a paper saying "Pay Big John the money you owe him, or tonight the cat comes for you".

BIG KITTY

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc70/bhutastan/Cats/bigkitty2.jpg

"I'm not fat, I'm big boned!!"

Sometimes the Cat Burglar Guilds extend into rural areas. Very rural areas. Or zoos. You'd be surprised how many of them are on open display, right in front of people.

BECOMING A BIG KITTY
Most Big Kitties are Cat Burglars who have specialized in a non traditional niche, and a great deal of them are the leaders of less conventional Guilds.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Class Abilities: Kitty Form (Bigger Cat Form), Kitty Magic (Innocence, Paw at the Door), Enhanced Kitty Form (Strong Kitty Form)
Feats: Cattitude, Improved Toughness
Skills: Intimidate 4 Ranks, Knowledge (Local) 6 ranks

Class Skills
The Big Kitty's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Balance (Dex), Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Hide (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Knowledge (Local, Nobility) (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Open Lock (Dex), Search (Int), Spot (Wis), Use Magic Device (Cha)
Skills Points at Each Level : 4 + int

Hit Dice: d8

BAB Fort Ref Will Abilities
1. +0 +2 +0 +0 Kitty Form (Dire Kitty)
2. +1 +3 +0 +0 Multiattack
3. +2 +3 +1 +1 Pounce
4. +2 +4 +1 +1 Enhanced Kitty Form (Big Boned)
5. +3 +4 +1 +1 Improved Multiattack
6. +4 +5 +2 +2 Improved Grab
7. +5 +5 +2 +2 Mighty Roar
8. +5 +6 +2 +2 Kitty Form (Housecat)
9. +6 +6 +3 +3 Rake
10.+7 +7 +3 +3 Fat Cat

Weapon Proficiencies: Big Kitties gain no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

Kitty Form (Su): At 1st level you gain Dire Kitty Form (see Cat Burglar Base Class).

At 4th level you gain a new Enhanced Kitty Form called Big Boned. You now gain the Powerful Build ability while in Kitty Form, as well as a +2 Circumstance Bonus to Grapple Checks.

At 7th level you gain Housecat Form (see Cat Burglar Base Class).

Multiattack : At 2nd level you gain the Multiattack Feat as a Bonus Feat, whether you qualify for it or not.

Pounce (Ex): When making a charge attack in Kitty Form you may make a Full Attack, including Rakes if you have them.

Improved Multiattack : At 5th level you gain the Improved Multiattack Feat, whether you qualify for it or not.

Improved Grab (Ex): At 6th level if you successfully hit with your claw or bite attack in Kitty Form against an opponent your size class or smaller, you can make a Grapple check as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If you succeed you may do your bite damage each round, and Rake if you have the Rake attack yet.

Mighty Roar : At 7th level you gain the Mighty Roar Feat (see Savage Species), whether you qualify for it or not.

Rake (Ex): At 9th level when you successfully Grapple or Pounce you gain two secondary Rake attacks. Damage is the same as your claw attack.

Fat Cat (Ex): At 10th level you are considered an animal for purposes of spells that would enhance animals in a positive way temporarily (such as Animal Growth). You now also have the Powerful Build ability all the time, not just in Kitty Form.

PLAYING A BIG KITTY
Sometimes the truly rich are also truly crazy. And the craziest rich people want the most exotic pets. That's where you come in. Abnormally large housecat's (or just wild cats) are fairly exotic. And crazies tend to like cats anyway... And so you as leader of a powerful criminal organization find yourself on display as "Baby Foo Foo". Tragic.
Combat: Try to set yourself up as a Charge and Grapple machine to take advantage of your eventual size and abilities. You've got plenty of weight, learn to throw it about.
Advancement: Big Kitties usually become one of two things: A powerhouse called in for troublesome opponents, or the Guild Leader conveniently hidden in the open. Many don't have the patience for the second option.
Resources: As usual you have the Cat Burglar Guilds to rely upon. In fact many Big Kitties are the heads of some Guilds. So you get first choice of bling!

BIG KITTIES IN THE WORLD
"Who's mommies big fat kitty? You'se mommies big fat kitty!"
You don't much interact with the world at all. You are the pampered pet/prisoner of some noble. Unless you head your organization, in which case you have a lot of teeny cats dropping by...
Daily Life: Your daily life isn't all that different from most Cat Burglars. However since you have more of a likelihood of being caged you have more urge to destroy things than usual...
Notables: Leo (CN Male Human Cat Burglar 7/Big Kitty 5) is the Leader of the Fighting Lions Guild, appearing as a mountain lion daily in the local zoo. He uses it as his headquarters. It's a small guild, but he hopes to expand it by seducing the wealthy visitors to the zoo. Hannibal (CE Cat Burglar 7/Barbarian 1/Big Kitty 4) is also caged, but in a looney bin as opposed to a zoo. The Guild lets him out when they need people to be disappeared.
Organizations: Big Kitties usually take the Leadership Feat. They need a little extra help to pull off the impersonation of a caged lion and make it look good.

NPC Reaction
NPC's are generally stupified by you. You have fools who think your some sort of monster on the one hand, and people who assume your just a big kitten on the other. But since you don't need the side of beef they feed you daily, divvying it up among the local poor tends to put your Guild in good standing with the common man. Now if it were just easier to smuggle out.

BIG KITTIES IN THE GAME
Big Kitties do give the Cat Burglars a bit of a combat edge, but they're rare. Regular cats are in far more demand as pets, so only Guilds based in a Nobleman's private zoo or in rural areas usually have them.
Adaptation: This one is pretty silly. Probably only good for equally silly campaigns.
Encounters: PC's usually encounter you pretending to be a zoo animal, or the pampered pet of some rich nutcase.

Sample Encounter

EL 12: You're sitting at the house of Tom the Bloated (a local noble of typical repute), when he shows off his prized personal zoo. One of which is a very large cat. Which winks at you. And then the teeny cats around his cage mosey over. And one of them sits down a slip of paper. It begins with "Why hello thar". Tom must have busted out the good port today...

I like the Bad Kitty, but still think it should have an affect similar to:

As a standard action you may expend one of your daily uses of your Hexblades Curse to make it unlucky for those who's path you cross. Until the beginning of your next turn, anyone who enters a square you moved through during this round is affected by your Hexblades Curse.

Then possibly have it improve to last longer.
I concur, but I think you have the mechanics backwards at least for the original superstition. It was based, on the cat bringing the Devil's influence into your course through life, thus cutting you of from communion (the relationship, not the thing with the wine and the bread) with God... or something like that. Anyway, it should be you moving through a square they moved through within the last round(I think).

Owrtho

2010-08-19, 02:39 PM

Actually with the original superstition it has to do with the cat cutting you off, rather than it going where you've been. Something along the lines of that you're moving toward god, so when the cat cuts across in front of you' it's cutting you off with the devil's influence, and then you either need to find a way to move around where it went (possibly going a fair bit out of your way) to avoid it or suffer the bad luck that will befall you.

Owrtho

Bhu

2010-08-20, 01:11 AM

So what would this curses penalty be?

Owrtho

2010-08-20, 01:32 AM

Would be your normal curse, or any variant you have. Disadvantage is people can avoid it. Advantage is you can get more than one person.

2010-08-20, 10:46 AM

Mmm... It's ok. I'm not sure if it's written down somewhere, but can Enhanced Kitty Forms be applied to any kitty form?

Norr

2010-08-20, 10:50 AM

I think the Big Kitty looks good, it can easily become the party wrassler instead of that confused monk.

Also, I keep having this vision of a 'normal' zoo in a big city with a lion or tiger and monkeys and stuff. Thing is the entire zoo, keepers included, are a catburglar guild, leaning heavily towards the Critter PrC with a few Big Kitties. The keepers just stay humanoid during opening hours.

After the zoo closes for the day it's the citys thieves guild, boosted by the proceeds of its cover business.

Regarding the Bad Kitty, I like the idea of a 'Don't cross my path' component to the general 'Don't cross me' attitude. If timed right, a stealthy hexblade (heck, they're all but invisible in poor lighting) could really mess up a massed group of pursuers, alternately set up their allies for a good bull-rush.

Bad Kitty has a new Curse Feat you should check out

BREATHSUCKER

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc70/bhutastan/Cats/breathsucker2.jpg

"Yeah I killed your baby. You keep saying that like it's a bad thing. He poos everywhere. Everywhere. You should thank me."

Breathsuckers are Cat Burglars who have taken up the study of necromancy to prolong their life. They do this by stealing the breath of life from others. To say that they are unliked by all is an understatement.

BECOMING A BREATHSUCKER
Most Breathsuckers start as a Cat Burglar and then drift into a specialist Wizard or Dread Necromancer.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Class Abilities: Kitty Form
Arcane Spells: Must be able to cast 3rd level Arcane Spells, and must know at least 1 Necromancy spell of each level.
Skills: Knowledge (Arcane): 8 Ranks
Feats: Spell Focus (Evil, Necromancy)
Alignment: Must be Evil

Class Skills
The Breathsucker's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Climb (Str), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Decipher Script (Int), Heal (Wis), Hide (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (Arcana, Local, Religion) (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Search (Int), Spellcraft (Int), Spot (Wis), and Survival (Wis)
Skills Points at Each Level : 6 + int

Hit Dice: d4

BAB Fort Ref Will Abilities
1. +0 +0 +0 +2 Steal Breath +1 Level of Arcane Spellcasting Class
2. +1 +0 +0 +3 +1 Level of Arcane Spellcasting Class
3. +1 +1 +1 +3 +1 Level of Arcane Spellcasting Class
4. +2 +1 +1 +4 Steal Breath +1 Level of Arcane Spellcasting Class

9. +4 +3 +3 +6 +1 Level of Arcane Spellcasting Class
10.+5 +3 +3 +7 Dark Soul Kitty +1 Level of Arcane Spellcasting Class

Weapon Proficiencies: Breathsuckers gain no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

Steal Breath (Su): You may attempt to steal the life force of a victim. Steal Breath can only be used against helpless, paralyzed, unconscious, or sleeping opponents. Unconscious or sleeping opponents get a Fortitude Save ( Save DC is 10 plus half hit dice plus Charisma modifier) to wake up each round this power is used. At 1st level this power has the same effect if used on anyone. At higher levels the effects differ depending on the age/health of the victim it's used against. This power only works on living mortal beings capable of aging. To use it you place your mouth next to your victims and inhale deeply. this is a Full Round Action, and you lose your Dexterity Bonus to Armor Class while doing it (and are likely prone as well). The victim must make a Fortitude Save each round or gain 1 negative level (Save DC is 10 plus half hit dice plus Charisma modifier). The benefits gained depend from this vary depending on what you want. At 1st level each negative energy level you inflict allows you one of the following options:
1) You gain 5 temporary hit points for 1 hour.
2) You spell Save DC's increase by +1 for 1 hour (this stacks with Spell Focus and similar Feats).
3) You gain a +2 Profane Bonus on any 1 Saving Throw for 1 hour.
These effects stack (i.e. if you manage to impose 3 negative energy levels on someone you may gain up to 15 temporary hit points).

At 4th level your options increase if it would be particularly vile to kill/drain your opponent (i.e. children, the elderly, the disabled, DM's discretion):
1) You gain 10 temporary hit points for 1 hour.
2) You spell Save DC's increase by +2 for 1 hour (this stacks with Spell Focus and similar Feats).
3) You gain a +4 Profane Bonus on any 1 Saving Throw for 1 hour.
4) Reduce your physical age by 5 years (i.e. if you were 35 you are now 30).
5) Remove any of the following conditions: Regain 1 permanently lost Ability score point, remove 1 permanently gained negative level, cure blindness/deafness/disease/poison, or cast Remove Curse upon yourself as a Supernatural ability.

At 8th level your options increase again. If you kill an 'innocent' (definition of innocent up to DM), you may reduce your physical age by up to 30 years or regain all lost Ability scores or remove all permanently gained negative levels. You may do this once per day. Your minimum age is your races starting age minus 10%. If it would reduce you below this age, you may "pool" the remaining years. Whenever you would normally age a year (i.e. become 1 for example), you remove a year from the Age Pool instead. If you take another victim before the Age Pool is empty, the years are simply added to the pool.

Dark Soul Kitty (Su): At 10th level you achieve a metamorphosis of sorts. Your type changes to Outsider (Native). You also gain the Evil subtype. You no longer require food or water, and do not age. You are immune to poison, disease, death, sleep effects, and fear effects. To keep this status you must kill one 'innocent' per year, or you revert to being mortal again until you do. Optionally, if you have 30 or more years in your Age Pool, you may use up 30 years instead of killing an innocent. If you lose your immortal state you also take 1 point of Vile damage per 'innocent' you have killed to sustain your immortality. In other words if you have spent 10 years as an Outsider, you lose 10 hp. This damage is healed only when you have killed another 'innocent'.

PLAYING A BREATHSUCKER
Your goal is to live forever. And be young forever. To this end you kill anyone unable to resist you. The old and sick will stave off infirmity for a while, but the young will let you live a very, very long time...
Combat: Breathsuckers don't fight. They prey on the helpless only, and use spells to cover their escape if caught. They are really only suitable as PC's in an evil campaign, or for players who are really good liars.
Advancement: Breathsuckers usually concentrate on their ability to drain others above all else. Secondary obsessions are escaping if caught and survival. Most of their kind are fairly similar.
Resources: A Breathsucker pretty much has himself to rely upon unless he's met more of his own kind. Even the Cat Burglar Guilds dislike them. Although occasionally they do make use of them to assassinate pretty bad people, but it's usually someone that the Breathsucker hates, and who is as evil as he is.

BREATHSUCKERS IN THE WORLD
"My son is dead. Let it be known that all cats and their owners are henceforth to be killed upon sight. As well as any helping them."
Breathsuckers pretty much don't interact with society at all unless they have to. Most hate every living thing except themselves (which makes their necromantic studies ideal to them).
Daily Life: Most Breathsuckers spend their time in magical studies, or looking about for suitable victims when the time comes.
Notables: Arrigo (CE Male Human Dread Necromancer 5/Cat Burglar 1/Breathsucker 6) is the terror of his seaside town. He runs the local criminal organizations with an iron fist, as none of them know his secret abilities to turn into a cat. Lucretia (CE Female Human Wizard 5/Cat Burglar 1/Breathsucker 6) is obsessed with eternal youth, and runs a coven of witches with the same obsession.
Organizations: Breathsuckers are rarely organized so well. At best they can be thought of as street gangs that are magically proficient if they're a group, or a lone whacko if they aren't.

NPC Reaction
NPC's live in superstitious terror of the Breathsuckers, and the Cat Burglar Guilds hate them with a passion as they endanger everything the Guilds are doing.

BREATHSUCKERS IN THE GAME
Breathsuckers will pretty much quickly give cats a fairly evil reputation in your game. As well as causing serious paranoia. This is why the Guilds hate them, they draw attention to cats, and make for bad PR.
Adaptation: This one is actually pretty okay for a horror campaign. As with the Bad Kitty there are lots of witches able to become cats in folklore and do bad things...
Encounters: PC's will usually encounter the Breathsucker as it begins a reign of terror killing the local infirm and infants.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's are hired by a local man to guard his infant from evil spirits. It sounds laughable at first but bad things begin to happen, and infants across the city are becoming ill. The people are blaming cats of all things...

Um... there is no such thing as a spell focus (evil) feat.

"Interspecies Attractiveness" Should probably allow the ones who would become attracted to the person a save... for one thing, otherwise a real sicko could maybe use it on themselves to vamp their way through some adventures and for another, certain parties might find it... problematic to RP enough even if it DOES have a save for the secondary targets. Believe me, I have played in some very mixed species parties (wereskunk, werelion, half-dragon, elf, human, and a silver dragon as a major NPC).

Okay, I see this thing up every saturday and it keeps confusing me. I like some of the things in here and I do laugh, but is this GitP's form of Caturday or something? I feel like I'm back at 4chan. >.>

BURLAP GUILD MEMBER

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc70/bhutastan/Cats/my-dragon-cat.jpg

"You keep this up and I'll tell daddy on you."

The Burlap Throat-Wattle in the little town of Burlap is the worlds most infamous dragons only bar. It is considered neutral territory where Dragons of all species can meet and conduct business, chat, or try to get laid by the bar maids without any fighting or assassination going on. It's also home to a thriving Cat Burglars Guild, all of whom are the bastard children of dragons and humanoid bar wenches (darn dragon groupies). The dragons have noticed that their kids and paramours have a thing for cats, but somehow have miraculously not noticed that the cats are some sort of organization. Or perhaps they've simply been kind enough to not mention it since most of them are their kids.

BECOMING A BURLAP GUILD MEMBER
Most of the members of the Burlap Throat-Wattle Guild are multiclassed Dragonfire Adepts/Cat Burglars. You're really sort of born into the Guild more than becoming a member of it.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Feats: Dragon Kitty
Class Abilities: Breath Weapon, Kitty Form
Feats: Dragon Kitty, Dragontouched
Skills: Bluff 8 ranks, Diplomacy 8 ranks, Listen 8 ranks
Special: Must have been born into the Guild. They really don't accept wannabe members, you must be the child of a dragon and a barmaid at the Burlap Throat-Wattle. Snobbish yes, but it works.

Class Skills
The Burlap Guild Member's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Concentration (Con), Diplomacy (Cha), Gather Information (Cha), Hide (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (Arcane, Local)(Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Search (Int), Sense Motive (Wis), Spellcraft (Int), Spot (Wis), Tumble (Dex), and Use Magic Device (Cha).
Skills Points at Each Level : 6 + int

Hit Dice: d8

BAB Fort Ref Will Abilities
1. +0 +2 +2 +0 Hisssss, Spit
2. +1 +3 +3 +0 Family Inheritance
3. +1 +3 +3 +1 Tuffer Than the Average Kitteh
4. +2 +4 +4 +1 Hisssss
5. +2 +4 +4 +1 Family Inheritance
6. +3 +5 +5 +2 Tuffer Than the Average Kitteh
7. +3 +5 +5 +2 Hisssss
8. +4 +6 +6 +2 Family Inheritance
9. +4 +6 +6 +3 Tuffer Than the Average Kitteh
10.+5 +7 +7 +3 Death From Above

Weapon Proficiencies: Burlap Guild Members gain no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

Hisssss (Su): You are particularly intimidating in Kitty Form for some reason. When hissing or yowling at someone within 30' that person must make a Willpower Save (Save DC is 10 plus half Hit Dice plus Charisma modifier) or be Shaken for 1d6 rounds if you are in Kitty Form.

At 4th level when using this ability it affects all living things in 45', and they are Shaken for 2d6 rounds.

At 7th level this effects all living opponents within 60', and also works when you charge. Opponents are Frightened instead of Shaken.

Spit (Su): Your Dragonfire Adept and Burlap Guild Member levels stack for purposes of determining the amount of damage your Breath Weapon does.

Family Inheritance (Ex): At levels 2, 5, and 8 you get a Spell-Like Ability you may use 3 times per day. At 2nd level you may cast one of the following: Flight of the Dragon, Voice of the Dragon. At 5th level you may choose from the following: Draconic Might, Draconic Polymorph, Dragonsight, or Form of the Desert Hunter. At 8th level you may choose one of the following: Aura of Terror, Imperious Glare, or Lesser Dragonshape.

Tuffer Than the Average Kitteh (Ex): You gain DR 2/- at level 3. This increases to DR 5/- at level 6, and DR 8/- at level 9.

Death From Above (Ex): At 10th level you gain Wings in Kitty Form, and a Fly speed of 50' (Average). The Wings may be hidden or not at your option. Hiding or unveiling them is a Swift Action.

PLAYING A BURLAP GUILD MEMBERS
You are teh awesomes, and you know it. Your father (or mother) is likely famous worldwide, and your other parent is famous at least locally. Now granted Gods and other powerful beings occasionally meddle with your family life cause mom or dad happens to be a dragon, but that just makes things interesting. Now if only you can find a way to exploit this...
Combat: Combat draws attention, especially since your chief method of combat is spitting some form of breath weapon. Burlap Guild members avoid fighting when possible, attempting to resolve most issues peacefully. And if that doesn't work they fire people up and run for the hills (assuming Dad lives in the hills).
Advancement: Advancement for Burlap Guild members often depends on what their parent was as that greatly influences their temperament. Plus they have to hide what they're up to from mom and dad occasionally. Parents can be so disapproving when you intend to rob a powerful crime lord just for weekend giggles.
Resources: The Burlap Guild members have access to the Guilds resources, and individual members can sometimes discreetly ask mom to persuade dad to help them out of a jam (they do this strictly in humanoid form though, they never let the dragons know they're the local bar kitties).

BURLAP GUILD MEMBERS IN THE WORLD
"I never knew dragons liked cats. Cats all over the place in that dragon bar..."
Members of the Burlap Guild are pretty much like any other Cat Burglar Guild, except their human persona is much more public given who their father is and all. They tend to be mildly famous in human form just because of their name. As kitties they have blessed anonymity though.
Daily Life: Mostly you're just like any other Thieve's Guild member whose parent happens to be a giant creature of vast magical power and world spanning fame. Now granted it's much harder to be a thief when your the child of someone famous, but it's far, far easier to get the girls. So it ain't all bad. At least until your scaly parent loudly and in public gives you the "for Christ's sake don't knock her up" speech.
Notables: Roland Silvertongue (CG Male Human Cat Burglar 3/Dragonfire Adept 3/Burlap Guild Member 6) is the son of a local Silver Dragon, and spends much of his time trying to seduce the local women. Yolanda Redcheeks (CE Female Halfling Cat Burglar 1/Dragonfire Adept/Burlap Guild Member 6) is the daughter of a older red Dragon well known for his obsessive love of short women (as well as his touchiness about the subject). She cares not for Roland.
Organizations: The Burlap Guild is an organization. It's small, but it has a disproportionate amount of influence due to it's members ancestry.

NPC Reaction
NPC's assume you're a cat till you spew fire or acid or some such. At that point they start to freak out and mutter about the local dragons being perverts (assuming the aforementioned dragons aren't in ear shot).

BURLAP GUILD MEMBERS IN THE GAME
This PrC kind of implies it's members are famous, or at least their parents are. Which may be a headache for some DM's.
Adaptation: This is definitely a silly campaign PrC. Dragon bars don't exactly scream seriousness.
Encounters: PC's will encounter the Burlap Guild if they are ever stupid enough to try to rob (or start trouble in) the Burlap Throat Wattle, or harm or threaten any of the workers there. Given that the bar patrons are also dragons, the Guild will probably be the least of their worries...

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's are being entertained by watching a local boy trying to seduce a halfling girl. When she rebuffs him with a chair, they turn into small cats and start spitting fire at each other. Then they notice the PC's. Who are suddenly nervous for some reason...
