Pathfinder Anchovy Campaign

I'm going Occult for patron. Cause Black Tentacles. And Gate.

 

God damn ponies.

Edit: So... are you just a killer of all occult/witches or what? Your .rtf isn't opening on my tablet

 

Well, I'm not like... EVIL. And I only make undead when I want to torment someone I've killed that I REALLY hate...

 

Okay. Reworking the "Noble Octopus" into the "Ambulare Octopus"

Octopus, Ambulare

Octopuses have two eyes and four pairs of arms and, like other cephalopods, they are bilaterally symmetric. An octopus has a hard beak, with its mouth at the center point of the arms. Octopuses have no internal or external skeleton (although some species have a vestigial remnant of a shell inside their mantles), allowing them to squeeze through tight places. Octopuses are among the most intelligent and behaviorally flexible of all invertebrates.

The octopus inhabits many diverse regions of the ocean, including coral reefs, pelagic waters, and the ocean floor. They have numerous strategies for defending themselves against predators, including the expulsion of ink, the use of camouflage and deimatic displays, their ability to jet quickly through the water, and their ability to hide. An octopus trails its eight arms behind it as it swims. All octopuses are venomous, but only one group, the blue-ringed octopus, is known to be deadly to humans.

Ambulare Octopuses are an aberrant mutation of the common species found only in water. While they are indeed aquatic, they have been tinkered with, whether through natural mutation or through the whims of some mad god or mage, to the point where they are truly amphibious. As a species, they still rarely come ashore, but they have been known to be found miles from the nearest large body of water when the need or desire is strong enough. These octopus exhibit slightly more social interaction than that of the more typical varieties, though not by much, and a vast increase in general intelligence. While still not nearly as bright as the typical humanoid, they do display a level of intelligence that is easily double that of their closest kin. Adventuring Ambulare octopuses do so with a lust for knowledge as well as a craving for shiny baubles with which to take home to their lair. As with their water-bound brethren, they avoid combat whenever possible unless they are hunting prey, usually using their natural abilities with camouflage to ambush their targets. Adventurers who are not Rogues are almost inevitably members of the innate magic using classes, utilizing their natural flair for the charismatic to overcome their limited intelligence and wisdom.

HMMMM, I'm only at 9 racial points

 

What's my cap on Racial Points? Some core races are like, 12, 13

 

So, from the standard Octopus, it's missing the Jet ability, the Ink ability, and the tentacle (grab). Just not finding a way to add those or something similar using the Race Creator. Losing those three things, I kinda want to bump SOMETHING up. Maybe give an actual bonus to Escape Artist, instead of only making it a Class skill
