More Dinosaurs than Isla Nublar (okay, not really, PEACH)

[Bhu]

Neo-Animal

This is an Inherited Template that can be applied to any Animal (or possibly any Vermin of you allow Awakened Vermin in your campaign).. Some Awakened Animals breed true somehow, and eventually generate a race of intelligent critters.

Size and Type: Type changes to Magical Beast

Hit Dice: Hit Dice become d10's. If the creature has less than 1 Hit Die, it now increases to one full Hit Die.

Speed: Unchanged.

Armor Class: Unchanged.

Attacks: Base Attack Bonus becomes equal to Hit Dice.

Damage: Unchanged

Special Attacks: Retains all Special Attacks of the Base Creature.

Special Qualities: Retains all Special Qualities of the Base Creature, and gains the following:

Skill Limitations (Ex): Because animals have no hands they cannot make Skill Checks in the following skills:

Craft, Disable Device, Disguise, Forgery, Open Lock, Sleight of Hand, and Use Rope.

Primates with clumsy hands take a -4 Racial Penalty on these Skills instead.

Most will not be able to take ranks in Handle Animal or Ride as well. Most Aquatic animals will not be able to get ranks in Balance or Climb. Most Str or Dex based skills may be limited because of body type.

Natural Mage (Ex): Since Neo-Animals can speak they can cast spells with Verbal Components, and they can adjust spells to use Somatic Components usable by their non humanoid form. Material Components and Focuses may still give them a bit of a problem sometimes.

Dark Vision 60'

Saves: Unchanged (may need to be recalculated due to Stat changes).

Abilities: Roll 3d6 for stats like any other race. As usual for any race, to figure out Stat Bonus/Penalty for each Attribute, take the Attribute and subtract 10 (if even) or 11 (if odd) to get the Bonus/Penalty. For Charisma subtract 7 if the Attribute is 10, and 8 if the Attribute is 11 to find the Racial Modifier. Int is always a +0.

Skills: Recalculate Skills due to new Stats.

Feats: Unchanged.

Environment: Unchanged.

Organization: Unchanged.

Challenge Rating: +0. If original CR is less than 1, it becomes 1.

Treasure: Unchanged initially, but eventually becomes standard if it decides to accumulate wealth.

Alignment: Unchanged initially, but will tend to drift towards Chaos for solitary animals, or Lawful for pack or herd animals.

Advancement: By Character Class, Favored Class can be any of the Primordial Classes at the DM's option.

Level Adjustment: +0 in theory. However there will be a level adjustment due to the Animal/Vermin's racial stats abilities which will be worked out below.
