Okay, so when rolling for HP, which hit di(c)e do I use? And do templates which have other hit die take away from class levels, in particular becoming a werecritter?

In that case, I'm completely clueless. Can someone explain how this works simply, without acronyms? I'm starting to think of just going plain, ordinary mobile monk with no templates because I do not have enough mental energy at the moment to comprehend your arcane language...

« on: January 06, 2014, 10:21:24 am »I think I figured this out last night while driving (yeah, sleep didn't happen). If I want to keep my monk levels, I would need to use normal kobold hit dice. If I want better HP, I can use the monitor lizard's hit dice in exchange for losing monk levels. And because monks are weird like that, once I take a non-monk level I can never go back.Okay, fair enough. But really, no keeping feats or skills or anything? Even in animal form?
Also, you say I would only have a couple levels of monk. Would that mean I don't get monk goodies such as the free feats, immunity to diseases, and ki strikes? If so, I might have to come up with something else to do with my LA <_<;
ETA: Dammit, its 10 at night and I have to be up in 7 hours. I'll be back tomorrow, probably to pester you with more questions...
Not even in animal form. Otherwise you have to take Racial HD which leads to...
If you just take the LA, then you have 6 levels of monk plus the template. If you take the racial HD from the template, then you lose however many HD the base creature has, from your levels.
Do I have the general gist of it? Am I utterly wrong?

I am way to easy to push around -.-
I was preparing to go to bed and finish this delivery in the morning, when I get a phone call asking why I couldn't do it tonight. I tell him (quite truthfully) that I had been awake most of the day already and I'd rather start early in the morning than finish late at night. He reminds me that the load is due fairly early, but he doesn't know if the customer is okay with slightly-late deliveries. I reluctantly state that I can at least get closer to the customer before I get sleepy and have to stop, and he uses the magic words:
"Do your best."
When I hear those words, I get this sort of resigned determination to go all the way, to exceed expectations. He wants me to at least get some miles under my belt before turning in? Fuck him, I'll drive all 250 miles in the dead of night when I should really be asleep. I'll not only be on time, I'll be goddamn early...which, of course, is exactly what the company wants. I have enough time for a nap before the customer opens, but after that I'll likely be awake for quite some time. Either that or I slowly become nocturnal, which is exactly what I don't want.
tl;dr: Boss tells me to do my best and I will move heaven and earth in an attempt to do so, even to my own severe detriment.

« on: January 06, 2014, 12:52:25 am »Yes. It might get a bit complicated figuring out the stat bonuses it gives.Aw, this is already the most complicated character I've ever made, what's a little more complication?
But I mean, just walking around in kobold form my monk would gain boosts to saves, BAB, Wisdom, Natural Armor, and (if I'm reading this correctly) pretty huge boosts to hit dice (which, IIRC, means pretty huge boosts to HP).
Edit: +6 Strength, +4 Dexterity, +6 Constitution, +2 WisdomYou sure? Monitor Lizard has 17 Str, 15 Dex, 17 Con, so I'd get +7, +5, +7. Only in hybrid/animal form though.
Which seems like a LOT for a +3 LA. /me checks Half Dragon. Actually, nevermind. That's about right.

So Hans, since you didn't respond to my probing post, I'll ask outright: Were-monitor-lizard, yea/nay? Natural, of course, not afflicted.

"Oh dear. There seems to be quite a few of the beasts, whatever they are..."
Attempt an Arcana check to see if these things are magical.

I need to remake my character from scratch. I hadn't even thought about taking Weapon Finesse until just a moment ago and allocated a huge number of points into Str to try and offset the kobold's natural weakness >_<
Hans, this isn't starting for a few days, right? I need to get some sleep soon and I'm back to working over-the-road. Schedule might be a little crazy for character building. If you want to start in the next day or two, might be best to skip over me and let someone else play.
