Quadav - Aychek - 03-10-2015
I am currently running a campaign based on a story for a Final Fantasy fan game that I was making with RPG Maker VX. That fell through, but the story was good enough to convert into tabletop. So far, my party is having an incredibly fun time with it, and I'm even coming up with a sort of stunt-system to allow the players to pull off some of the things that are seen in FMV's and the like from the various games and movies.
One of the party's tasks was to clear a group of beastmen from some mines. Specifically they were facing off against Quadav from FFXI. Unfortunately there's no such race in the Bestiary, so I had to come up with them, myself. I'll admit, these are the first creatures that I've ever acctually created that weren't through character creation, so they will be a bit rough, and I'm sure I'm missing some things.
But they ended up being a lot of fun, and a big challange for the party. They were designed around the thought that Quadav are slower, but hardier and harder to kill. They also work in teams, unlike Orcs, which are more berserker style, and Goblins which...hoard. Or use stealth and cunning.
Abilities and skills are taken from FFXI and converted to be useable with Pathfinder. Someone can pick apart problems with them, I'm sure, or give suggestions on better balancing...but the skills worked for my game as I have them.
First was the warrior class, the Young Quadav.
