Talk:The Rhino Men
From RPGwiki
Just thought I'd start with the basics of what I'm talking about and then throw in the cultural bits later. And before anyone says anything, yes, I could have called it Rhino People but the female Rhino Men are perfectly confident in their position in society and feel no need for such politically correct terms.
In fact they tend to hit people who try to apply them.--Alex 17:32, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
I know that reflexes and will are the standars saves for monstrous humanoids, but I suggest that we ignore that and give Rhino men Fortitude instead of reflexes. It just seems to make more sense for a huge, hulking brute to be better at putting up with physical suffering than doging fireballs, stats mods not with standing. Andy 14:55, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Except that the stat modifiers counteract thst. Imagine someone rolling 12 for every stat. With the stat mods that results in Reflex +3, Fortitude +3, Will +6. With your suggestion we'd have saves of Reflex +0, Fortitude +7, Will +6. That's a hefty Fortitude save for a beginning character. Now imagine someone rolling an 18 and putting it on Constitution. Fortitude +10 is just ridiculous. This is Alex masquerading as --Craig 20:16, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Actually, it not a starting level character, Rhino men have four HD, so that at least chracter level 4. A dwarf fighter with the same con rolls you mentioned could get up to +9 by 4th level, so not that much different. In fact a halfling cleric could do the same thing. As you've got it, your Rhino man has a smaller fortitude save than a human cleric at 4th level and the same base con roll. +10 fortitude save is no more extreme than con 22.
