This week at work was slow so I typed Savage up. It's always fun to stat out my preds, but the lack of an appropriate superhero game system shows here. Oh well, I'm sure there are one or two people out there who would enjoy their character having an encounter with the big hero tiger. 89~
I could almost write him up for D&D 4.0, with all I've read about that system recently. Maybe one of these days.

Neat! That is one kitty you don't want to mess with, not unless you want a full tour. x3
Strictly speaking, though, shouldn't his size be Huge instead of Large, given that he is over 20 feet long?
Have you heard of the HERO system? It has a difficult learning curve, but with it can stat out any conceivable character down to the finest level of detail you could possibly want.

I spent some time considering his size. It's tempting to make him Huge, but some of the Dire animals are at least as big as he is and they are only Large. I elected to go with the weight standard -- anything under 2 tons can only be large. This is also why Hialfi the foxtaur ended up as Large, though in retrospect the foxie could have been Huge as he just straddles the line.
The only reason Savage is over 20' long is he has a 7' tail, anyway. Well, when it hasn't been shot off. 83

Does he maybe deserve the subtype?
Posted by Strega 15 years ago Report
Maybe. It doesn't give any benefits, so I don't see that it matters one way or the other.

It has at least one benefit: being able to revert from Baleful Polymorph.

I was wondering if it did, so I sent and checked the D20 SRD under "shape changer" and that benefit wasn't listed. I don't think his shape changing powers are good enough to do that, anyway.

It's listed under "baleful polymorph".

I see that now, but I also read that not all critters with shape changing powers are automatically "shaper changer" types. Since Savage cannot alter his mass when he changes, he couldn't wiggle out of a Polymorph that way.
