(Paolo) Shamans have the ability to transform in their spirit animal. However the ability does not scale with level. While it is true that most racial abilities do not scale, I see this ability akin to the Dragonbonrn's breath weapon. What about adding something like:
Level | Extra Damage per attack | Extra HP | Extra AC |
---|---|---|---|
6 | 1d6 (hits are considered magical) | +20 | +2 |
11 | 2d6 | +40 | +4 |
16 | 3d6 | +60 | +6 |
To the stat block of the animal?
(Paolo, Work in Progress) Vehicles are basically considered a second skin, just like Druid Wild Shapes.Depending on the vehicle (fully closed or partly open) it will works exactly as Druid Wild Shape or split the damage à la Shield Guardian.
If the vehicle allows to use larger weapons we convert the dice following the table. The damage changes are inspired by the Spell Enlarge/Reduce.
For example, let us think to a Mecha Large robot with a Battleaxe. A Battleaxe normally deals 1d8 damage (1d10 two handed), in the hand of the Mecha the Large Battleaxe will deal 1d12 or 2d8.
Small/Medium | Large | Huge | Gargantuan |
---|---|---|---|
1d4 | 1d8 | 1d12 | 2d10 |
1d6 | 1d10 | 2d8 | 2d12 |
1d8 | 1d12 | 2d10 | 4d8 |
1d10 | 2d8 | 2d12 | 4d10 |
1d12 | 2d10 | 4d8 | 4d12 |
If any skill check is required, if you have the Vehicle Proficiency you can add your proficency bonus.
When you enter a vehicle, the following rules apply:
Vehicle properties:
Speed. Vehicles have the same kind of speeds of other creatures; plus few ones for Space Operas. Space Speed and Hyperspace Speed, those speeds are expressed as factor of the normal travel speed. E.g., if a destination is distant 10 space days, and your vehicle has a Space Speed of x2, then you will reach destination in 5 days.
About protection vehicles can be closed and open. A closed vehicle protects the pilot completely, any attack will damage the vehicle Hit Points; an open vehicle takes half damage, but other half is taken by the pilot.
Some vehicles allow the pilot to use some of his abilities.
On destruction vehicles have one of the following effects:
