[3.5] Stats for a Pig?

[term1nally s1ck]

Has a Pig ever been statted out in 3.5? I can't find any trace of one...

There's the boar, for your really big pig needs, and of course the dire version for your really really big pig needs.

No Deer and elk though. (But Frostburn introduced stats for a caribou, which is close enough.)

I was kind of hoping for a more farmyard pig...wild boar is a little bigger and more vicious than I was going for.

I recall seeing a thread exactly like this about a week or two ago, but Search gives me nothing.

The point was, though, that "Farmyard pigs" are nearly identical to the D&D "Boar", but with their teeth clipped. (Or something similar).

And that geneticaly, the "Boar" is only a few generations away from the "Farmyard pig", and that the differences are largely man/environment-made.
(I apologize if these statements are false, I'm going off of memory)

In fact, a male pig is defined as a "Boar".


As for official sources, I don't believe WotC has made a "Pig". But you could easily just take away the gore, and perhaps the Ferocity (Although pigs can still get nasty).

drop it to 1hd, remove ferocity, replace it's GORE attack with a slam attack that deals less damage, and drop it's CR to 1/2.

Maybe shave some of it's STR and CON too.

Easy peasy.

Deer and Elk can be found in Silver Marches on page 119.

But not in other campaign worlds. Cool.

I still get chills when I see you post...best campaign I've ever read about.

Thanks, I'll do that.

Dragon didn't produce stats for chickens and pigs when they came out with the commoner flaws?

Or Sheep, for that matter. M-Bark has had to devise them all himself for his PrCs.

Don't forget, pigs get a special pig feat called "Made of Delicious."

[2-HeadedGiraffe]

DM: Your characters are hungry.
Players: Is there any food around?
DM: You see a pig on a nearby farm.
Players: Roll initiative.

No its a trait:

Bonus: You tastes delicious.
Drawback: Everyone knows.

Sadly, I've had a group of players that did that, but for farmers. They were all evil and monstrous characters, and decided that "hey look, a farmer, roll initiative" sounded like a good time.

If that happens, you just make the farmer a Druid. It's fun.
