The Ultimate Dueliest Small Flightless Bird.
Thread title.
I want a small flightless bird to make into a anthropomorphic creature. Like a kiwi or something.
If I kind find one, I'll be an Abrian.
So, I will be making a duelist character. Like, a guy good with a sword. I'll need like some 4 level ideas and some 6 level idea.
Maybe I'll take Improved Disarm.Last edited by Snowbluff; 2016-05-06 at 07:46 PM.

Re: The Ultimate Dueliest Small Flightless Bird.
I could swear the dodo bird was one of the options for an improved wizard familiar. But I can't find it anywhere. Maybe a fellow member of the playground can find something better suited to your needs.

Re: The Ultimate Dueliest Small Flightless Bird.
Well, not exactly a Kiwi, but there's stats for a Penguin in Frostburn.
There's also stats for Axebeak (A&EG), Ibis (Races of Faerun) and Terror Bird (Fiend Folio), but these are even worse fits than the Penguin.My winning competition entries: Kinvig Arrumskor | The Great Pumpkinhead | Wynfrith d'Acker

Re: The Ultimate Dueliest Small Flightless Bird.
If you're a dodo, you have a good reason to take Wedded to History. Any of them work, but Elder of Legend is pretty funny. Whenever you enter a tavern, yell "Yes, it is I, the dodo-bird!", and watch the puzzled looks.

Re: The Ultimate Dueliest Small Flightless Bird.
I am not finding many stats on small flightless birds. Is there anyway you can compromise that? I think a hedgehog or puffin would be equally ridiculous. Further, if you change the puffin to a booby you get the benefit of causing immature jokes wherever you go.
Also, I have no idea what that gif is from, but she must have awesome hair for it not to tangle at all.Last edited by Honest Tiefling; 2016-05-06 at 05:06 PM.

Re: The Ultimate Dueliest Small Flightless Bird.
Flightless is ideal.
Do you have a hedgehog or puffin? The Hedgehog would be great. One of the people hates Sonic, another is a huge fan.

Re: The Ultimate Dueliest Small Flightless Bird.
Stats for a hedgehog familiar are presented on page 203 of the DMG. I assume that would work? You can even roll into a teensy, spiny, adorable ball!

Re: The Ultimate Dueliest Small Flightless Bird.
No, I mean the 4 levels in abilities that don't make me a swordfighter.
After that, it's a bit strong for this campaign. I think the DM would eye the double digit mental stat bonuses and dragon mag source with suspicion.
You could use its Polymorph ability to turn into whatever anthropomorphic, flightless bird you fancy.
Ibis is what I'm looking at.Avatar of Rudisplork Avatar of PC-dom and Slayer of the Internet. Extended sig

Re: The Ultimate Dueliest Small Flightless Bird.
If you're willing to go 3rd party, Troll Lord's Book of Familiars has stats for a ton of animals (be wary of some of their stat block, however, a Kangaroo is presented as the Fleshraker of the marsupial kingdom - 2d6+4 kick???) including Crane, Hedgehog and Peacock among others.

Re: The Ultimate Dueliest Small Flightless Bird.
How about the kakapo?
It's the world's only flightless parrot, very long-lived, and also critically endangered, so they're extremely rare. Seems to fit the vibe.

Re: The Ultimate Dueliest Small Flightless Bird.
Pathfinder has a dodo, if your DM will allow it.

Re: The Ultimate Dueliest Small Flightless Bird.
If you like, I can brew you up a kakapo.
Just from glancing at it, I'm thinking Scent and Endurance, plus the equivalent of continuous feather fall from the wings.

Re: The Ultimate Dueliest Small Flightless Bird.
The Pathfinder version is weak in the kakapo-Force. Mine would be better.
