Were Otters

Were Otter is an Acquired or Inherited Template that can be applied to any Humanoid.

Size and Type: Type remains the same, and the Base Creature gains the Shapechanger Subtype.  Size in Otter form is Tiny, Size in Hybrid form is Small. Size in humanoid form is unchanged.

Hit Dice: Unchanged.

Speed: Land speed is 20 in Hybrid and Otter forms, otherwise unchanged. May not use any alternate movement forms the humanoid form possesses in the Otter or Hybrid Forms.  All 3 forms have a Swim speed equal to their Land Speed (unless they have a higher racial Swim Speed).

Armor Class: Use the humanoid forms Natural Armor bonus for all 3 forms. Natural Armor bonus increases by +1.

Attacks: Use the humanoids BAB for all 3 forms (Grapple bonus will change due to Size penalties in Hybrid and Otter forms). The Hybrid and Otter Forms have a Bite attack that does 1d3 damage (1d4 in Hybrid Form) plus Strength Modifier.

Damage: Unchanged.

Special Attacks: Retains all Special Attacks of the Base Creature, and gains Otters Curse:

Otter's Curse (Su): As a Standard Action the Were Otter may curse any Humanoid within 60' if they fail a Willpower Save (DC is 10 plus half Hit Dice plus Charisma Modifier).  If they fail the Saving Throw, they become Were Otters.

Special Qualities: Retains all Special Qualities of the Base Creature, and gains the following:

Low Light Vision

Scent

Hold Breath (Ex): A Were Otter can hold it's breath for (4 times it's Constitution Modifier) rounds before it risks drowning.

Alternate Form (Su):Identical to the Alternate Form ability listed in the Monster Manual for Lycanthropes.

Feats: Gains Weapon Finesse and Iron Will as Bonus Feats.

Environment: Unchanged, but Were Otters prefer to move near water.

Organization: Solitary (Unchanged if there are enough other Were Otters about, or in squads of 5-10 if working for the Lycanthrope Goddess).

Challenge Rating: +1

Treasure: Unchanged.

Alignment: Usually Neutral with some tendencies towards Chaos.

Advancement: Unchanged, usually by Character Class

Level Adjustment: +2


Were Otters are minions of the Goddess of Lycanthropes, as are most weres.   Since Otters are playful, and people seem to adore them she thought they'd make perfect spies.  She was right.  Unfortunately their preferences for water don't make them wide ranging spies.  But since city ports are where much activity and business happens, they are still quite useful.  And Otters are soft fuzzy critters.  People find it hard to kill soft fuzzy critters.

Piggie Faced Bob is a local fisherman and sailor.  Hanging out fishing by the docks it was inevitable he'd end up becoming a Were Otter.  Guess they felt it was payment for all the free fish he gives them.

"The good news is it's not a Tarrasque.  The bad news is it still looks pretty darn mean..."


Dire Ankylosaurs are pretty rare, and the occasion when two individuals of the opposite sex meet to mate are even rarer.  So the good thing is the world isn't exactly overrun with them.  On the other side they're just to darn stubborn to die.

Thick Armor (Ex): Dire Ankylosaurs are immune to criticals and may not be flanked.  They also gain maximum hit points per hit die.

Trample (Ex): 8d6+34 (DC 49).

Spiny Shell (Ex): The armored shell of the Dire Ankylosaur is covered in bony spikes, and opponents of Gargantuan Size Class or bigger that attack them with an unarmed strike or a natural weapon take 1d6 plus their own Strength Modifier in damage.

Tail Slap (Ex): Any living creature that is not immune to criticals struck by the Dire Ankylosaurs tail must make a DC 49 Fortitude Save (Save DC is Strength based) or be Stunned for 1d3 rounds.

Combat: Ankylosaurs immediately wade in with the tail if surprised, otherwise they wait for an opponent to charge and lash out.

Kings are the last or greatest or most powerful of their race.  Subject of many bad films.  Really really bad films.  Hopefully it makes for a neat template tho :D  Despite it's bonus to Intelligence a King cannot take class levels.  It's still an animal, just a very intelligent one.

"You hired us ta fight mice?  Bert we can't fight mice.  The other adventurers will make fun of us.  Wtf man?"

"No no, I said they look like mice.  Kind of.  But not really."

"We're fightin' some horrifyin' abomination of nature agin aren't we?"

Dire Kangaroos are mischievous roos about 13' tall that like to grapple and box the humanoid races for sport.  They're kinda mean.  But the locals say they taste pretty good.  Of course the locals may be biased because the roos beat the crap out of them on a daily basis.

Improved Grab (Ex):  If a Dire Kangaroo hits with it's Paw attack, it can immediately make a Grapple Check as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity.  If successful it does it's Paw damage each round as it continues to wail on it's grappled victim.

Spring Kick (Ex): As a Standard Action the kangaroo jumps up and slams both back claws into it's opponents mid section.  It does 4d6+6 damage.

Skills: Dire Kangaroos have a +8 Racial Bonus to Jump Checks.

Combat: Dire Kangaroos open with a charge if the opponent isn't close, and immediately close to begin grappling if they are.

"Uh...Abner the tall male is lookin' at you kinda funny like...like he's mad or somethin'..."

Dire Rock Wallabies are almost the size of regular kangaroos.  Meaning they look like...kangaroos.  Kangaroos with attitude who look like they want to kick your behind.  For no better reason than that you're there.

Improved Grab (Ex): If a Dire Wallaby hits with it's Paw attack, it can immediately make a Grapple Check as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity.  If successful it does it's Paw damage each round as it continues to wail on it's grappled victim.

Skills: Dire Rock Wallabies gain a +8 Racial Bonus to Climb Checks and a +4 Racial Bonus to Jump Checks.  Wallabies can always Take 10 on a Climb Check, and can use their Str or Dex modifier for Climb Checks (whichever is higher).

Combat: unexpectedly feistier than their larger kin, Wallabies charge en masse and begin wailing on everything in their path.

"Bert...Bert a giant meteor crushed that town over yonder!"

"You woke me up for that?

"Well it ain't every night a giant space rock destroys a city.  What if there are more.  Wait...is it movin'?"

"Go back to sleep Abner."

"BAWK! BAWK BAWK BAWK BAWK BAAAAAAAAAAAAAWK!"

"Saddle the horse Abner.  Sleep doesn't look like it's waitin' for us tonight..."

The being known as Gak! Spaaaace Chiiiiiiickkkeeeeeeeeeeeennn (insert echo effect here), is an odd being traveling through space visiting planets looking for something.  At least it appears to be that way.  He (everyone calls Gak a him) always makes scratching and nosing about as if looking for something his first priority after he falls from the sky.  Gak appears as a vaguely chickenlike entity with leathery grey hide as opposed to feathers, stubby wings that shouldn't support it's body weight, deely bobber antennae, and an odd crest that runs from the top of it's head down it's back.  It also has huge glowing eyes, and screams and babbles almost nonstop, causing instant hatred in all who encounter it as they pray for it to just shut up.  While Gak appears to be speaking a language, no one has yet deciphered what it is (although no one has used magical means of communicating yet either).

Planetfall (Ex):  When Gak initially visits a planet, he simply falls from the sky doing 40d6 damage in a 500' area.  It can honestly be said that this is a lot more fun for Gak than anyone in the vicinity.

Nonstop Squawking (Ex): Gak never shuts up.  Ever.  As long as he is conscious, so is everything else within the next few miles.  Anything within 120' of Gak must make a DC 63 Listen check to hear anything that is said, possibly ruining any language dependent effects as you simply cant hear them (Save DC is Con based, and the DC is lowered by -5 for every 10' past the normal 120' range).  Bards must make a Level Check against Gak for their Bardic Music to work.  Anything failing the Save once is permanently deafened as well.

Ultimate Bawk (Su): Gak unleashes a horrifyingly loud bawk that can be heard over an area of roughly 50 miles.  It may do this once per day.  The Ultimate Bawk does 35d6 Sonic damage in an area of 50'.  For every 5' past the initial 50' area damage drops by 1d6. Opponents in this area can make a DC 67 Reflex Save (Save DC is Charisma based) for half damage.  Opponents who fail the Save are also permanently deafened.

Trample (Ex): DC 63 Reflex Save for half damage (Save DC is Strength Based).

Frightful Presence (Ex): Any creature who has less Hit Dice than Gak and is within 240' of him when he lands, attacks, or flies overhead must make a DC 57 Willpower Save or be Panicked for 2d6 rounds.  If the Save is Successful the opponent is Shaken for the duration of the encounter instead.

Immunities (Ex): Gak is immune to Mind Influencing Effects, poison, sleep effects, paralysis, disease, and ability drain/damage.

Combat:

"Screw this Bert.  It's cold, Ah'm hungry, and you didn't tell me we wuz goin' after birds agin.  Ah'm beginnin' to develop a complex bout birds dammit."

Dire Penguins are simply enormous versions of their more traditional cousins.  They're loud, stinky, and wonderful to watch.  As long as you're far away.  Especially during mating or nesting season.

Belly Flop (Ex): The Dire Penguin can fall on any creature two sizes smaller than itself doing 2d8+24 damage (DC 28 Reflex Save for half Damage, Save DC is Strength Based).  This works like Trample in every way but one: If the opponent fails to make his Saving Throw, he is considered Pinned in a Grapple.  Each round the DP can make a Grapple Check to successfully move him 10', simultaneously doing 1d8+12 damage as it grinds it's opponent into the ground.

Skills: Dire Penguins have a +8 Racial Bonus to Swim Checks, and may Always Take 10 on a Swim Check.  They may use the Run Action when swimming in a straight line.

Combat:  Dire Penguins will bite and slap opponents of similar size.  Against smaller opponents, they fall on them pinning them to the ground before dragging them across the ice.

THE NEW KAIJU TEMPLATE

Kaiju is an inherited Template that can be applied to any corporeal being of Huge Size or Smaller.

Size and Type: Size becomes Colossal. Type remains unchanged except for Animals and Vermin. Their type changes to Magical Beast. Giants and Humanoids become Monstrous Humanoids. All Subtypes are retained.

Hit Dice: Hit Die type remains the same unless the base creature has changed type (i.e. an animal has become a Monstrous Beast). The Base creature adds 40 Hit Dice.

Speed: The base creatures speed increases to 20 ft. if it is slower than 20, otherwise it remains the same. Kaiju with the ability to fly have Poor maneuverability. If you take the Titanic Size Class ability base speed is 25.

Armor Class: The Kaiju gains a bonus to it's Natural Armor Class of +15 with additional bonuses from their increase on size. To save time I have added them here: Medium or Smaller = +29, Large = +27, Huge = +24. Also the monster will have a new Size modifier of -8 to it's Armor Class. If it takes teh Titanic Size Class ability increase the bonus to Natural AC by +1.


Attacks: The Kaiju gains a -8 Size modifier to it's attacks due to it's new Size. If it can use a weapon it gets a maximum of 4 attacks per round with the Full Attack Option (unless Feats, spells, class options, etc alter this). Do not forget to alter the base creatures attack bonus due to its new ability stats. Base Attack Bonus becomes that of a Fighter regardless of Creature Type (i.e. +1 per level). If the Kaiju has no natural attacks (i.e. it's humanoid, or the base creature was too small to do any damage) consult page 296 of the Monster Manual and give it an appropriate attack for it's body style and Size Class. For a humanoid, it will gain 2 slam attacks. If an insect too small to originally do any harm it likely has a bite of some sort, etc.


Damage: Damage of all the Kaiju's natural attacks increases with it's size increase (consult page 291 of the Monster Manual). Don't forget to add the creature's new Str modifier to damage. Special Attacks will also go up in damage and are covered below.

Space/Reach: If the creature is Colossal (Tall) it's new Space is 40 ft. by 40 ft. If it is Colossal (Long) it's new space is 40 ft. by 80 ft. If it is Colossal (Long and Thin) it's new Space is 30 ft. by 120 ft. Reach depends on the base creatures reach: 0 to 5 ft. becomes 20 ft. Reaches 10 feet or above add +10 feet to the Reach. Creatures like Giant Squid that have 2 reaches (one normal and one for a specific attack) increase both. The Giant Squid normally has a Reach of 15' with it's tentacles, and double that (30') for its tentacles. A Kaiju Squid has a Reach of 25' (15 +10) and 50' (25 x2) with it's tentacles. If the base creature has any attacks with a Line effect they become a 10 foot by 150 foot line. If it has any attacks with a Cone effect they become an 80 foot cone. If it has any Ray attacks the new range becomes 300 feet. Other ranged attacks or areas of effect change based on the base creatures size: Diminutive or smaller
is x8, Tiny or Small is x4, Medium or Large is x3, Huge is x2.

Special Attacks: The Kaiju keeps all the Special Attacks of the Base Creature with some modifications. The Save DC for Ability/Energy Drains, Fear/Frightful Presence (or other terror inducing abilities), Gaze Attacks, and any Spell Like/Supernatural/Psionic abilities is now 10 + 1/2 Hit Dice + Charisma modifier. The Save DC for Breath Weapons and Poison is now 10 + 1/2 Hit Dice + Constitution Modifier. Damage for special attacks changes with the new size.

Ability Drain/Damage: Does 1d8 points unless it already does more damage/drain than this.
Breath Weapon: Now does 20d6 damage +1d6 for 3 every 3 Hit Dice over 40 unless it already does more.
Constriction: Now does 3d6 + one and a half times Strength Bonus, unless it already does more. If constriction is based on some sort of claw/pincer attack it does double that attacks normal damage plus Strength bonus.
Energy Drain: Drains 2 levels unless it already does more.
Poison: If the poison does regular damage its Initial and Secondary Damage is 2d6 unless it already does more. Non damage effects do not change.
Spells or Psionics: If the base creature can cast spells or manifest psionics that does not change at all, but the primary casting/manifesting stat is now Charisma. Arcane casters are considered to cast spells as a Sorcerer, Divine as a Favored Soul.
Swallow Whole: The monsters Swallow Whole ability is replaced with the following: The Kaiju can try to swallow any opponent of Huge Size or smaller by making a successful Grapple check (Gargantuan or smaller if you take the Titanic Size Class ability). Once swallowed the opponent takes crushing damage equal to 2d8 + the Kaiju's Strength bonus and 3d6 acid damage per round. A swallowed creature can cut its way out using claws or a light piercing or slashing weapon and doing 50 points of damage to the Kaiju's digestive tract. The digestive tracts AC is equal to 10 + half the Kaiju's natural armor bonus. Once the swallowed creature exits muscular action closes the hole and any other swallowed creatures must cut their own way out.

All Kaiju gain a Trample Attack and Frightening Presence:

Trample (Ex): As a standard action during its turn a Kaiju may Trample a Gargantuan or smaller opponent. It does 4d12 plus the kaiju's Strength modifier. If the Kaiju has 4 or more legs add double the Strength modifier. If the Kaiju has no legs or many legs (a snake or centipede) do not add the Strength modifier. Victims can attempt a Reflex Save for Half Damage. DC is 10 + 1/2 Hit Dice + Strength modifier. Does 5d12 if you have taken the Titanic Size Class ability.

Frightful Presence (Ex): Any creature within a 360 foot radius of a Kaiju that has less Hit Dice than the Kaiju is subject to its Frightening Presence. Victims in this range must make a Will Save DC (10 + 1/2 Kaiju's Hit Dice + Charisma modifer). If a save is successful that creature is immune to this Kaiju's frightful presence for 24 hours. Creatures with 4 HD or less are Panicked for 4d6 rounds, those with 5 HD or more are instead Shaken for 4d6 rounds. Kaiju are immune to this effect.

In addition to Special attacks it may already have and Trample the Kaiju may pick from the following list. It gets one special attack, plus one more for every 3 Hit Dice above 40:

Ability Drain (Su): The Kaiju's primary attack (or its constriction if it has the Constriction ability) drains 1d8 from one stat which is chose at creation. Attacks drain with each hit, Constriction drains each round the hold is maintained. A Fortitude Save (DC equals 10 + 1/2 Hit DIce + Charisma modifier) can be made to avoid this drain effect. This is otherwise identical to the ability listed in Monster Manual page 305 with one exception: At creation choose one of the following options: A successful Drain gives the Kaiju 5 temporary hit points for 1 hour, or it gives it a cumulative +1 to hit and damage rolls for 1 hour, or the Save DC's of it's Special Attacks are +2 for 1 hour. You must choose during creation to decide if the Ability Drain is linked to your primary attack, Constriction, or is done during a successful Grapple check.

Augmented Criticals (Ex): This may be taken multiple times. Choose one of the following: A) All the Kaiju's regular attacks have their critical threat range increased by 2 (i.e. if their claws normally critical on a 20, now they critical on an 18-20). B) One of the Kaiju's Special Attacks has it's critical threat range increased by 1 (assuming it actually does critical damage such as a ray, area effects dont count). C) All of the Kaiju's regular attacks have their critical damage multiplier increased by 1 (i.e. if they normally do x2 damage with a critical, they now do x3. D) You have a +4 Racial bonus on rolls to confirm Criticals. You must choose a different option whenever you pick this Special Attack.

Battle Frenzy (Ex): Choose either the Power, Speed, or Defense option when picking this ability. Power: Once per fight the Kaiju may go into Battle Frenzy gaining an ability exactly the same as the Barbarians Mighty Rage ability listed in the Players Handbook page 26. Speed:As Power except you use the Whirling Frenzy variant found on page 66 of Unearthed Arcana (kaiju is assumed to get the version of Whirling Frenzy usd by a 2oth level barbarian). Defense: As Power except you get the Berserker Strength variant listed on page 33 of Players Handbook 2. You must fall below (5 x HD) hit points to get these bonuses (and are assumed to be a 20th level barbarian for purposes of the benefits received). If you choose this special attack for your Kaiju (regardless which of the 3 options you choose), you may take any Feat that requires Rage or Frenzy as a Prerequisite. This ability may only be chosen once.

Blinding Flash (Su):The Kaiju can emit a blinding flash of light a number of times per day equal to its Charisma modifier. Anyone within 100 feet of the Kaiju looking at it that has eyes must make a Fortitude Save (DC: 10 + 1/2 Hit Dice + Charisma modifier) or be Blinded for 1d6 minutes. If the Save is successful they are blinded for 1d4 rounds.

Constriction (Ex): If the Kaiju suceeds in a grapple check it can constrict its opponent for 3d6+one and a half times Strength bonus. Does 4d6 if you have taken the Titanic Size Class Special ability. If the Constriction is instead based on pincers/claws it does double the claws regular damage plus Strength bonus.

Diseased Attack(Ex):The Kaiju's natural attacks are infected with disease. Opponents who are successfully struck by these attacks must make a Fortitude Save (DC is 10 + 1/2 Hit Dice + Constitution Modifier) or be infected. You may choose any disease on page 292 of the DM's Guide that has Contact or Injury listed as an infection method (except Mummy Rot).

Disease Spray (Ex):You may spray an opponent with infected fluids. This is an 80 foot cone that may be used every 1d4 rounds. Opponents must make a Fortitude Save (DC is 10 +1/2 Hit Dice + Constitution Modifier)or be infected. You may choose any disease on page 292 of the DM's Guide that has Contact or Injury as an infection method except Mummy Rot (Diseases with the Injury infection method will only infect if you have already injured the opponent before spraying them).

Energized Attack (Su):As a standard action once per minute you may charge your natural attacks attacks with energy of some type. You must chose the type when the Kaiju is created, and the effect last 1d4+1 rounds. During this time the natural attacks do an extra 3d6 damage of the appropriate energy type, this damage is not multiplied on a critical. You may choose Acid, Cold, Electricity, Fire, Force, Negative Energy, Postive Energy, or Sonic. Optionally you may choose during creation to link your Energized Attacks to your natural attacks, Constriction, or successful Grapple attacks. This ability may be chosen more than once. If so, decide which version of the Energized Attack you are using (the effects of picking it more than once do not stack).

Energy Attack (Su):Once every 1d4 rounds the Kaiju can make an energy attack of some sort. You must choose the energy type during creation and may choose Acid, Cold, Electricity, Fire, Force, Negative Energy, Positive Energy, or Sonic. It may take the form of an 80' Cone, a 10'x150' Line, a Ray with a range of 300 feet, an Energy Missile with a range of 150 feet, or an Explosive Blast with a range of 200 feet and a 60 foot radius spread. An opponent can make a Reflex Save for half damage against the Cone, Line, and Explosive Blast Effects for half damage (Save DC is 10 + 1/2 Hit Dice + Constitution or Charisma Modifier, you choose during creation). The Ray and Energy Missile attacks are Ranged Touch Attacks that Critical on a Natural 20 doing double damage. Damage for the Cone, Line, or Explosive Blast attacks are 20d6 damage plus 1d6 damage for every 3 Hit Dice over 40. Energy Missiles are 15d6 damage plus 1d6 damage for every 3 Hit Dice over 40. Rays are 10d6 Damage plus 1d6 for every 3 Hit Dice over 40. If using this attack as a breath Weapon it must be defined as such during creation.

Energy Drain Attack (Su): The Kaiju may Drain Energy Levels with its natural attack or with a successful grapple attempt (choose at creation). This Drains one Energy level per successful attack (or per round if grappling) unless the enemy makes a successful Fortitude Save (DC: 10 +1/2 Hit Dice + Charisma modifier). The Kaiju gains 5 temporary hit points (10 hit points on a critical hit) for the next hour.

Energy Drain (Su): You may Drain energy levels with an attack. The attack is an 80' Cone, a 10'x150' Line, or a 300' Ray. Opponents inside the Area of Effect of the Line or Cone (or struck by the Ray) must make a Fortitude Save (DC: 10 + 1/2 Hit Dice + Charisma modifier) or lose 2 Energy Levels. The Ray criticals on a Natural 20 draining 4 Energy Levels. The Kaiju does not gain any benefits from draining Energy Levels in this way. The Energy Drain attack may be used once every 1d4 rounds.

Extending Limbs (Ex): Your main limbs have double the normal reach. This can be arms, tentacles, or even a tongue or tail. You must choose at creation.

Poison Attack (Ex): One of your natural attacks (usually a bite or sting) is envenomed. If this attack hits and does damage, your opponent must make a Fortitude Save to avoid the venom's effects (Dc is 10 +1/2 Hit Dice + Constitution Modifier). Initial and Secondary damage is 2d6, you choose whether or nor Damage is done to Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution at Creation. Or optionally Initial damage is Paralysis for 2d4 rounds, secondary damage is none.

Poison Spittle (Ex):You may spew a gob of caustic poison into your opponents face possibly blinding them. Every 1d4 rounds you may spew a gob of venom as a touch attack with a range of 150 feet. If it hits the victim is allowed a Reflex Save (DC is 10 + 1/2 Hit Dice + Constitution modifier). If he fails he is blinded for 1d6 rounds (eyeless creatures are immune to this effect), and takes acid damage equal to half your total Hit Dice (i.e. if you have 40 Hit Dice it takes 20 damage).

Poison Spray (Ex):You can spew a cloud of venom once every 1d4 rounds in a 80 foot cone. Anyone in its area of effect must make a Fortitude Save ( Dc is 10 + 1/2 it Dice + Constitution modifier) or take the poisons effects. Intital and secondary damage is 1d6, you may choose to damage either Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution at creation. Or optionally you may choose to make initial damage Paralysis for 1d4 rounds, secondary damage none.

Psi Like Ability (Sp):Each time this Special Attack is picked the Kaiju gains 1 psionic power as a Psi Like Ability. The Kaiju is considered to be a 20th level Manifester, and Save DC is 10 + 1/2 Hit Dice + Charisma modifier. The Kaiju may pick any Psionic power on the Psychic Warrior List. Powers of second level or less may be used 5 times per day, powers of 3rd to 5th level may be used 3 times per day, powers of 6th level or higher may be used once per day.

Ranged Attack (Ex):You have some sort of ranged physical attack such as spines or missiles. It comes in one of 3 forms: An 80' Cone, a 10'x150' Line, an Explosion with a range of 200 feet and a 60' spread, or a ranged attack using your ranged attack bonus and with a range increment of 200'. Decide at the creation if damage is blunt, piercing, or slashing. Opponents receive a Reflex Saving Throw for Half Damage vs the Cone, Line or Explosion versions (DC is 10 + 1/2 Hit Dice + Constituion modifier). Damage for Cone, Line or Explosion is 10d6 +1d6 for every 3 Hit Dice over 40. Damage for Ranged attack version is 5d6 + 1d6 for every 3 Hit Dice over 40 + Strength modifier (and it criticals on a Natural 20 doing double damage).

Rock Throwing/Catching (Ex): You receive a +1 Racial bonus on attack rolls when throwing rocks. You can throw up to Huge sized rocks (1 ton in weight). Damage is 4d6 + Strength Bonus. Once a round, if you would normally be hit by a rock you can make a Reflex Save to catch it (DC is 15 for Small, 20 for Medium, 25 for Large, or 30 for Huge, if the projectile has a magical bonus the Save DC is increased by that amount). You must be ready for and aware of the attack to make this attempt. If you have taken the Titanic Size Class ability you can throw up to Gargantuan Sized Rocks doing 5d6 damage (DC: 35 to catch).

Shockwave (Ex):As a standard action the Kaiju can make a localized quake. Any being within 100 feet of it on the ground must make a Reflex Save or be knocked prone and take 4d6 damage ( Save DC is 10 + 1/2 Hit Dice + Strength Modifier).

Spell Like Ability (Sp):Each time this Special Attack is picked the Kaiju gains 1 spell as a Spell Like Ability. The Kaiju is considered to be a 20th level Sorcerer, and Save DC is 10 + 1/2 Hit Dice + Charisma modifier. The Kaiju may pick any Sorcerer or Druid spell of 8th level or less. Spells of second level or less may be used 5 times per day, spells of 3rd to 5th level may be used 3 times per day, spells of 6th level or higher may be used once per day.

Stench (Ex): Rotting garbage smells better than this Kaiju. Any living being with a sense of smell coming within 60 feet of the Kaiju must make a Fortitude Save (DC is 10 + 1/2 Hit Dice +Constitution modifier) or be Nauseated for 1d6+4 minutes. If the opponents save successfully they are immune to the effects of the Stench for 24 hours.

Swallow Whole (Ex):Identical to the ability listed above at the beginning of Special Attacks.

Webbing (Ex):The Kaiju may spit webbing or some sort of adhesive in an 80'Cone or a 10'x150' Line or an Explosive Blast with a range of 200' and an area of effect of 60'. All creatures in the area of effect must make a Reflex Save (DC: 10 + 1/2 Hit Dice + Constitution modifier) or be held fast by it. The opponent cannot move and must escape using an Escape Artist check (DC same as Reflex Save) or Strength Check (DC same as Reflex Save +4, has a +4 Racial bonus. The webbing has 1 hit point per Hit Die of the Kaiju, Hardness 5, and takes double damage from fire.

Windstorm (Ex):As a standard action the Kaiju can create 100 foot long cone of hurricane force winds by flapping its wings (or optionally as a breath weapon). All flames in this area are extinguished, and ranged weapon attacks are impossible except for Siege engines which take a -8 penalty. Listen checks are impossible in this area, and suffer a -8 penalty within 100 feet of the wind. If the area is dusty enough Spot checks will likewise suffer the same penalties. Anything in the cone of effect must make a Fortitude Save (DC is 20) or be subjected to the affects of Hurricane winds described on page 93 of the DMG.

Special Qualities:Saves: The Kaiju's Saves are now recalculated based on it's new Hit Dice (and potentially new type). I put a chart for this later in the thread.

Abilities: Kaiju are fairly Hardy and gain +4 to Strength and Constitution along with the bonuses it gets for his increased size. Charisma increases by +20, and Intelligence becomes a 2. Wisdom is unchanged. To make it easier here's a chart for the total stat increases:

Huge:+20 Str, +12 Con
Large: +28 Str, -2 Dex, +16 Con
Medium: +36 Str, -4 Dex, +20 Con
Small: +40 Str, - 6 Dex, +22 Con
Tiny: +44 Str, -8 Dex, +22 Con
Diminutive: +46 Str, -10 Dex, +22 Con
Fine: +46 Str, -12 Dex, + 22 Con

If the Kaiju has the Titanic Size Class Special Quality add another +8 Strength, -2 Dex, +4 Con.

Now, you made me want to play a Kirby. I know that the +2 LA isn't worthy (due to its abilities I think that it deserved to be +1 LA but anyway) but the ideas for its RP are simply perfect :p Unfortunately, I don't think that anyone will let me play a Kirby  :bigeye

PS: Now, just imagine a Kaiju Kirby. That would certainly say something :lol

I think it still needs work.  I intend to revise it someday.  It just still doesn't seem right, and this is my second revisal.

Yeah, I can understand. Kudos about making them :clap

PS: Does the Kaiju template applies to Kirbies? If yes, then what's his LA (or it's undecided as of yet cause I'm not seeing any LA in the template)?

The template can be applied to any corporeal being huge sized or smaller, so yes the Kirby qualifies. 

It doesnt change LA because no one is ever intended to play a Kaiju.

"Okay Sally.  This here bein' you first run with Uncle Abner n' me we need to make sure you know whats going on.  You know what we need to do right?"

"Uh-huh."

"Now when Uncle Abner and Ah chase the birdies off the roof, what do  you do?"

"Ah whack em wif mah sling."

"Good."

"Then Ah takes 'em home ta snuggle, cuz theys mah pet now."

"Ah told you she wasn't ready for this yet."

Dire Pigeons are loud, obnoxious, incredibly stupid birds who crap everywhere.  They also bring down property values by nesting on the roofs of houses (usually caving them in at times under their weight).  Few Dire Species have achieved such nuisance levels as the Pigeon.  Adventurers willing to face  them are scarce.  Not because they're powerful, but because no sane adventurer wants to be thrown off roofs and pooped on to earn a living.

Wing Slap (Ex): As a Standard Action the Dire Pigeon may do a quick and unexpected wing slap against an opponent, usually when they are somewhere high.  This does 1d6+1 damage, and the Pigeon gets an Immediate Trip Attack as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity.  If it successfully trips it's opponent the opponent may risk falling from the roof or tower the pigeon is on.  It's surprising how otherwise incredibly stupid animals know this.

Pigeon Bomb (Ex):  While in Flight the Pigeon may as a Standard Action poop on gawkers below.  Treat this as a ranged grenade like weapon, and if it hits it covers a 5' area in foul smelling poo.  Opponents who have the Scent ability lose it until they wash, and must make a DC 14 Fortitude Save (Save DC is Constitution Based) or be Nauseated for 1d3 rounds.  Should the Pigeon critically hit with the poop attack it gets in it's victims eyes blinding it for 1d3 rounds. Basically pigeons are evil bastards.

Skills: Dire Pigeons gain a +8 Racial Bonus on Balance Checks.

Combat:  If a Dire Pigeons foes do not have ranged weapons (yes, some players are this stupid), they will patiently wait for them to climb the house to reach them before using a quick Wing Slap to Knock them off the roof.  They will repeat until the PC's get tired of this.  Should they change tactics or have range, they will Bomb the PC's or their mounts.

Yeah, that's quite logical I'd say. I'd never want to see a Kaiju in my D&D life :P
