Dinosaur Shape

Unread post by kitteninablender »

I say add a feat that allows Dinosaur shapes. Or simply add Dinosaurs to the base forms.

I, for one, would love to be able to change into a Tyrannosaurus. Especially considering I play a Malarite.

I wanna go Jurassic Park on somebody...

But you can't make the bed as a t-rex! Ever seen one try?

Maybe make dinosaur shape an epic shape, and make dinosaur shape be required to take dinosaur companion (like how you need dragon shape to take dragon companion).

If the developers wanted to take it a step further, they could make a magical beast companion that requires magical beast shape.

The dinosaur companion was basically superior to the dragon companion... Because you could buff it up with everything in your spellbook, which was one of the reasons why it was removed originally.

Oh... and bags calling my T-Rex bot, Grimlock. Because he'll love Kup's war stories.

I object to this because I don't care about dinosaurs personally and that's what you do.

Maybe then, we could make nature's avatar and awaken apply to the dragon companion? At the very least, nature's avatar.

I don't think the answer to Dinosaur being OP is to empower Dragon Companion.
