Mr. R Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 I need stats for a Leopard (big cat) that I plan to use as a follower for a totem shaman that I plan to make. My Hero bestiary is deep in storage and .... I don't want to go digging for it. So if a kind soul give me a heads up for your average plains type leopard?

Duke Bushido Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Dont take it as no one wants to respond; we do. But there are rules abiut what copyrighted material can be published for what reason, and this one is kind of a gray area... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Yeah, published official Hero character stats are something the company has always asked us to keep off this public forum, and have even deleted posts containing them. In theory it would be acceptable to post stats for an original big cat that we create; but it would be bad form to transcribe a leopard from the Bestiary.

Christopher R Taylor Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 I'd just use the stats for any non-lion big cat in the Hero Bestiary, leopard = jaguar = cougar etc for the purposes of a game. They're not identical but the differences are so slight as to be meaningless in terms of a build. You can guess what they have in terms of stats (high dex, claws, bite, stealth, see in low light conditions etc). You can get some approximations of strength from the internet (they're stronger than you think). Mr. R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. R Posted November 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Understood! Edit. Good News. My copy of 6th Ed has a lion template in it. I'll modify that a bit for 5th Ed rules and .... Hello Leopard! Duke Bushido 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Webster Posted November 27, 2021 Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 If it's going to be a long term item in the campaign, I would be customising it anyway. A few variations to stats compared to the standard as every individual is different anyway. Maybe some distinctive features, likes, fears or hates certain species or phenomenon (smells, sounds, shapes, etc) or some odd quirky behaviour. Being an animal, it can't tell it's back-story, but maybe it can if the shaman can talk to it, or the history could be revealed later. Perhaps it will never be known and remain a mystery. In any case, each animal and monster is an individual history (well most do anyway) and if it's not just one of a crowd of kill-once enemies, it's worth adding a bit of flavour to them.
