Yay for hippo sodomization!  ...wait.

Certain divine minions with...ahem...alternative lifestyles would like to have a word with you.
...Screw the money hippos, I have rules?
[spoiler]Masculine men like masculine things. Masculine men are masculine. Therefore, liking masculine men is masculine.

I dare anyone to find a hole in that logic.

I hope killing hippos isn't against your religion.

You do have to defeat a hippo to get the feat in the first place. So maybe it's not strictly blasphemous?
Be a necropolitan and haunt shift the hippo's corpse?

I have killed the hippo... and thereby became the hippo.

I used to be afraid of the hippo. Now, I AM the hippo.

Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
Behind door number 2: A magic crown!
Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY!
They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.

Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.

Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...

magebred horrid hippos, hmm? :plot

I should note that this feat carries a hidden power. Since you can rebuke hippos, you can also bolster them against turning.
Which could actually be useful if your hippos are undead...

Thought: Hippos can swim.



Proposal: "Strap missiles on their backs and turn them into killer submarines." In D&D, this might mean giving them SLA's. Half-Fiend Dire Hippos with Blasphemy?
It always seems like the barrels around here have something in them.
