[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5645039, member: 57383"] Updating the [B][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/5635832-post228.html"]Working Draft[/URL][/B] with single action only. Upon reflection, tree sloths are almost useless in a fight, so I'd make the claw a secondary weapon like a non-combat trained horse's hoof attack. If we make its claws secondary I think we'd better lower the CR to, say, 1/6 or 1/8. Also, tree sloths are less maneuverable on the ground than in the trees or water, so I'm lowering the land speed to 15 ft. I added this for the flavour and tactics: [FONT=Verdana][I] An animal the size of a large house cat, covered in long coarse hair. All four limbs are equipped with large, blunt claws that fold back onto its palms. It has a small, round head with a flat face.[/I] Tree sloths are small arboreal herbivores that live in the trees of tropical forests, feeding of new leaves, buds and the occasional insect. There are a half-dozen species of tree sloths, divided into two-toed and three-toed sloths depending on how many toes they have on their front feet (their hind feet always have three toes). All their toes have strong, curved claws adapted for gripping tree branches. The different species of tree sloth are similar enough to use the same stats. A tree sloth is proverbially slothful, these sluggish creatures rely on camouflage and stealth to avoid their enemies. A sloth's fur is brown or grey-brown in color, but it has hollow hairs that often become colonized with mold and algae which give it a green coloration, which aids its camouflage among the leaves of the trees in which it dwells.
