Super Squirrel Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 I'm at work doing a write up. Can someone slip to the mammals section of the Hero Bestiary and tell me the total point cost for buying x16,384 Squirrel followers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Squirrel Posted October 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Re: Really Quick Question Nevermind... I was thinking of Summon. What is the total point cost so I can make my squirrels mutant squirrels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddHat Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Re: Really Quick Question Giant Rats are 96 points each. You could cut them down to 50 points each and call them "Mutant Squirrels". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Squirrel Posted October 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Re: Really Quick Question I like Steve Long's write up for Squirrels. I just need to give them laser eyes or explosive acorns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paigeoliver Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Re: Really Quick Question They are - 93 points, according to the book. But that math doesn't add up. Doing the math myself I get. -50 stats 72 powers and skills -40 disadvantages. They are -18 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilFleischmann Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Re: Really Quick Question It's interesting that this topic should come up. Just the other day I was set upon by sixteen thousand mutant squirrels. It was a harrowing experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost-angel Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Re: Really Quick Question One thing I've never liked about the book write ups is they don't seem very clear about things sometimes. A squirrel has 115 points to play with: 75+Disads (40pts in this case) and they use 64pts for powers and get back 50 pts for characteristics for a 14pt cost total. +8pts for Squirrel Template so of a possible 115 a squirrel is using 22pts. (it doesn't cost and isn't built on "negative points"), so a Squirrel has 93 more "unused" points according to it's base point build. I think there's plenty of room in there to up the ante on Squirrel Weaponry. So, the answer to the original question; 16,384 Squirrels = 70pts + 75pt Tiny Animal/5 = 15pts Total Cost for Squirrel Army Of Havoc = 85pts. (FEEL the Squirrelly Wrath) If you make the base points for a Squirrel 0pts + Disads you can build the little guys on 71pts (minumum of 1 to buy a follower + 70 for 16,384 of them).
