Cactoad

Cactoad

A Cactoad is a sort of cross between a cactus and a toad. It deals +2 damage with unarmed attacks, and when it is struck with an unarmed attack, the attacker takes 1d6+1 Physical damage. The cactoad also has a spine tongue attack, which deals 1d8-1 damage, has a range of 20m/100m, and on a successful wound pulls the target adjacent to the cactoad. It can let loose a tremendous, skull-shattering croak as a heavy weapon, attacking all other creatures within a 10 meter blast for 1d10 Sound damage, deafening creatures for one round per wound: this attack has an auditory stealth of -2.

The cactoad is not particularly smart, and cannot speak.

Advancement

The cactoad may be given up to four abilities, with no more than two from any given category, for 6 points each. It cannot get abilities which add to HP or Toughness.

Cactode (10 points): The cactoad's croak is as soothing as it is loud. Any creature wounded by it must make a DC 5 Will save or be stunned for 1 round. The radius of its croak increases by 5 meters.

Cactrodes (15 points): Certain species of cactoad have bulbs at the ends of their spines. These cactoads, when struck with any attack by a creature 10 meters or less away, deal 1d6 Electricity damage to that creature. This replaces the damage for being struck by an unarmed attack that cactoads normally deal.
