Mothman Race

[Donsic]

I was hoping you guys on these boards could help me with my custom Mothman race.

Here is what I have so far:

+2 Con -2 Cha

Medium
Base Land Speed: 30 feet

Compound Eyes: -2 on spot checks, but cannont be caught flat-footed by things it can see.

Wings: +4 to Jump checks acts as if under the Feather Fall spell
The mothman looses both bonuses if he either looses his wings or wears unmodified armor (Modification 1d6x50)

Exoskeletal Plating: +1 to AC

Edit: LA: 1

[Magnus_Samma]

Are you inventing an original race of anthropomorphic moths, or basing them on the actual urban legend? If the latter, I'd suggest some natural affinity for divination spells.

[SpiderMew]

edit, oops i made a post in the wrong thread orginaly

Umm... Whats the level adjustment you were going for, also with wings you should beable to glide in a direction i think isntead of having feather fall, or perhaps both.

[Seffbasilisk]

LA +1 or +2 i think. Constant feather fall, +4 to a skill, +1 AC

but has to wear modified armor? LA +1 I think.

[fetfet]

+2 Con -2 Cha

Medium
Base Speed: 30 feet, fly 40 feet

Compound Eyes: -2 on spot checks, but cannont be caught flat-footed

Wings: +10 to Jump checks, gliding(20 ft per 10 feet down, and no fall damage.)
The mothman loses both bonuses if he either looses his wings or wears heavy armor or carries a medium or heavy load.

Exoskeletal Plating: +1 nat. armor bonus to AC

How do you like the mods?

The WotC Mothfolk:

+2 Str and Dex, +4 Wis
2 racial Outsider Hit Dice
+2 Natural Armour
Fear Aura (Su): All within 20 feet must take a Will save (DC 10+1/2 hit dice + Cha mod) or be affected as by a fear spell.
Large
Fly speed 300ft (good)
60ft darkvision
+4 to Balance, Climb, Listen and Move Silently

The WotC Mothfolk:

+2 Str and Dex, +4 Wis
2 racial Outsider Hit Dice
+2 Natural Armour
Fear Aura (Su): All within 20 feet must take a Will save (DC 10+1/2 hit dice + Cha mod) or be affected as by a fear spell.
Large
Fly speed 300ft (good)
60ft darkvision
+4 to Balance, Climb, Listen and Move Silently

Now that looks like the mothman I know, love, and lay awake at night fearing.

What's the LA on that sucker?

[Dhavaer]

Technically, LA is +1, but that's because it uses Modern rules. In D&D, maybe +2?

[Magnus_Samma]

+2 at least, maybe even +3 to compensate for the fly speed.

[Wren]

how high can the wisdom of a creature be, that likes to kill itself in fire?

[SpiderMew]

The WotC Mothfolk:

+2 Str and Dex, +4 Wis
2 racial Outsider Hit Dice
+2 Natural Armour
Fear Aura (Su): All within 20 feet must take a Will save (DC 10+1/2 hit dice + Cha mod) or be affected as by a fear spell.
Large
Fly speed 300ft (good)
60ft darkvision
+4 to Balance, Climb, Listen and Move Silently

Perhaps if you take this, and change the wis from +4 to say -2 you would have LA+0 or would you have to take away the strengh bonus to get it down to 0

[Dhavaer]

To get it to +0 LA you'd have to reduce it to medium size, so -2 Str +2 Dex. -2 Wis, No fear aura, fly speed down to about 50 ft..
Even then, you still have the Racial Hit Die to deal with.

[Kaerou]

That fly speed seems way too brokenly fast.

[Dhavaer]

Well since it's not intended to be a PC race, that's not really a problem.

[Donsic]

So i stummbled onto this a few days ago but have no memory of posting it. When i went to school the next day and talked to a friend of mine he told me i forgot to log off and he posted it and forgot to tell me.

It looks to me as if he was trying to make a new pc race. The other race shouldn't be played as a pc race.

[GungHo]

Bah. They'd be terrible in a dungeon. You can't use a torch without singeng them.
