Mark Rand Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Special Agent Susan Grey, a metahuman herself, is assigned to the West Coast Avengers as its FVI liaison, mainly because she's unpopular with the top brace and they want her out of their hair. To quote her last SAC, "You're a freak, Grey. I'm assigning you as our liaison with the West Coast Avengers. They're freaks like you." Susan can switch to and from cougar (or mountain lion) form when she wants to and her clothes shift with her. "I've found a sheet for her in human form. Now, what big car do I use for her mountain lion form, the cheetah or the leopard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably start with the leopard, since cougars and leopards are both more muscular and less of the sprinters that cheetahs are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCoy Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Re: A big cat question Biologically and ecologically, cougar is closer to a leopard or panther than the cheetah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just A Guy Name Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Re: A big cat question Go with the leopard write-up. Mountain lions resemble them (in size and habits) more than they do cheetahs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WhammeWhamme Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Re: A big cat question As far as the 4th Bestiary goes, the Leopard had a higher DEX (+3) and Swimming (+1"), while the Cougar was tougher (+2 PD, 1/1 was resistant, +1 REC) That's it. Go with the Leopard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are regional names and some might be impolite.[/quote']True. Some are called "puma", I know, although that typically refers to a smaller subspecies. The Florida Everglades Panther is also closely related - perhaps also a smaller subspecies.Interesting that since they became protected, their numbers have increased to the point that they've started making rare attacks on humans (and somewhat less rare attacks on housepets).

Basil Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Re: A big cat question WW, thanks for posting that. I was say too busy yesterday to get to it. A couple of minor corrections 9 PD 7 Should be: 9 PD 5 16 1d6+1 HKA, reduced penetration (bite) 12 1d6 HKA, reduced penetration (claws) ... 12 +6" Running You skipped the END costs. Should look like: 16 1d6+1 HKA, reduced penetration (-1/4) -- bite 2 12 1d6 HKA, reduced penetration (-1/4) -- claws 1 ... 12 +6" Running 1/5" You also missed: 6 +10 PRE, create fear only (-1/2), while roaring (-1/4) and the "Disadvantage": 109 Creature Bonus (174 pts) The whole thing goes: COSTS: Char Power Total Disadv. Base 72 + 102 = 174 = 124 + 50 (I'll delete it if need be) Ditto. OTOH, if someone wants the description and so on, I'd being willing to post it.
