[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 7032653, member: 57383"] Meeka only hunts people in her "human" alternate form so she'll normally be Medium-sized when attacking. I like the idea of using "Tiny Leopard" for her cat form's stats but would be OK toning it down a bit. How about we keep the original's Strength 14 in Human form then apply normal size-scaling rules so she's Strength 6 in her Tiny Cat form? She's got the same AC in both forms, so how about giving her +2 NA in "human" form and +0 NA in her natural cat form so the NA increase balances her Tiny cat form's +2 size adjustment? I'd give her the same Dex and Constitution in both forms. Con 14 is fine, but I'd increase the Dex to either 17 or a Leopard's 19. Dex 17 would match her AC to the original 5 so I'd go for that. Let's see, AD&D Leopard's have a 1-3/1-3/1-6 claw/claw/bite routine which is pretty close to Meeka's 1-4/1-4/1-4 in "Human" form. Also, if her claws and bites are 1d4 when Medium size normal scaling would make them 1d2 when Tiny. However, a standard SRD cat has 1d2 claws and a 1d3 bite, so I'm inclined to keep the higher bite damage which'd suggest she has a 1d6 bite when Medium sized. The SRD leopard has 1d3 claws and a 1d6 bite so the overall damage is pretty close - although Meeka can't rake in human form, which cuts down her damage potential a fair bit. So: [B]Meeka (Cat Form):[/B] Tiny Magical Beast, Str 6, Dex 17, Con 14, Int 12, Wis 13, Cha 17, AC 15 (+2 size, +3 Dex), 2 claws 1d2–2, bite 1d3–2, 2 rakes 1d2–2 [B]Meeka (Human Form):[/B] Medium Magical Beast, Str 14, Dex 17, Con 14, Int 12, Wis 13, Cha 17, AC 15 (+3 Dex, +2 natural), 2 claws 1d4+2, bite 1d6+1 [/QUOTE]
