[iamnuff]

you look like the picture i posted in the character sheet, and as a mutant doppleganger, you've lost your shapeshifting powers for the ability to eat stuff and take on a trait that the thing you ate had in life.

Click to shrink...

oh, thats a shame.

playing as an actual shape-shifting predator would be cool.

you can give up your current form and turn into whatever you ate last, and should you eat enough you it is possible to regain shapeshifting.

Yeah, I assumed you guys wanted to start in the forest again, and posted round two.

 

[MrGazzer]

Okay.
It would more then likely be best to be a bit meatier. All the nice stuff can come later so

[z] Make a nest and sleep
[z] Con 10
you feel your body strengthen and toughen as you clamber up into the trees. there you use broken branches and leaves to make a crude nest and settle in for a nap...

You awaken and it is bright, a searing yellow disk in the sky that pains you to look at provides the light you need to navigate your new home. You are ravenous, you need to eat

What do you do?
[z] Find prey
[z] Look for predators, they will surely be delicious
[z] Improve your nest
[z] Find a different location to nest in

[mkire]

[z] Find Prey.
you consider for a moment attempting to run through the treetops, but decide it would be much safer to descend to the ground and hunt there. you wander the forest for an hour before hearing the cries of a wounded animal. you follow the sounds it makes and find

What do you do?
[z] EAT!
[z] Find other prey
[z] write-in

 

[MrGazzer]

[X] Check for traps, if nothing FREE FOOD!

 

[mkire]

So is anyone else going to vote, or shall i assume everyone is fine with 'paranoia and eating'?

Give it another day, things are a lot slower here.

 

[Vindictus]

I have no problem with 'Paranoia, then food'... But this is almost certainly not a trap. If a predator wanted to lure something in to eat, then first it would EAT THE DEER, and then it would leave some bloody scraps of meat to bring in scavengers.

... Actually.

[X] Eat.
-->[X] Make a point of leaving some scattered viscera around, then climb up a tree and wait for small scavengers to arrive. While they're distracted by the lure, kill and eat them.
-->[X] Make sure to leave some more scraps at the end, to lure more stupid foodbeasts in.

 

[MrGazzer]

I like this idea. It's a good idea.
I vote for it.

[mkire]

[z] eat
- [z] Cleverness with scraps
You fall upon the prey with wailing fists and tearing teeth, the sounds of your conflict with the prey cause the forest around you to go silent. you wrench its neck and slay it before beginning to consume its delicious flesh. the scent of blood fills the clearing and you wrench yourself away from the carcass before you devour it all. you spread the remains around the clearing and then climb up into a tree to wait. the forest returns slowly to normal as you wait, before you hear the grunts of a large animal approach your location

What do you do?
[z] Stay, you will surely slay this animal and devour its flesh.
[z] Leave, It sounds bigger and meaner than you.

[MrGazzer]

[X] Stay, but only to take a look at this grunting thing, if it seems to big a thing to eat or fight, try and slip away.
[X]+8 racial bonus to stealth when in forests
Very useful.

 

[Vindictus]

[X] Stay and watch the grunting thing for a moment. What is it?

I'm betting it's a pig, or a herd of pigs. A bit larger then what I expected, but not undefeatable.

[X] +8 racial bonus to stealth when in forests

 

[Tetsurō]

[X] +4 racial bonus to stealth

Not quite as good as +8, but more useful for a future day when we aren't in the forest.

I suppose wild boar would be something you could possibly defeat nevermind, boar'd down you in one good hit with the tusks. +4 to hit, damage 1d8+4. but it wasn't what i was thinking about when i wrote 'you hear the grunting of a large animal approaching.'

I was thinking a pig, not a full-on boar. Not that a feral hog would be easy to wrangle- Texas wild hogs grow up to eight hundred pounds, with some outliers reaching a thousand or more, and they're mean ass fuckers.

But an average sow and some piglets? That would have been workable.

... Now, if it's not a pig? The only thing I can think of is a Bear. Which is bad news, honestly.

 

[MrGazzer]

Which with a plus 8 to stealth we can slip away if need be.
I don't think we're leaving the forest anytime soon so we should be fine with it.

[MrGazzer]

It appears we have a Consensus.
I have to say, Forest is much more clever then Alleyway.

 

[mkire]

[x] Stay and watch
[x] +8 forest racial stealth

your skin shifts colors to a mottled brownish red, and you instinctively know how to hide and move unseen in this forest. you shift your position in the tree you have climbed in order to improve your hiding place and wait. a moment later you see this shuffle into the clearing and begin eating all the bait you left in the clearing.

What do you do?
[z] EAT!
[z] stay quiet, maybe it won't notice you
[z] Flee, this predator could easily slay you
