NEAR-SIGHTED RHINO KUNG FU monk of the enabled hand


   
"I'm a love rhino baby!"

 What you lack in self awareness or nuance, you make up for with the brute power from your training.

BECOMING A RHINO
Usually only for the beefiest Chaos Monks.

 ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
   Base Fort Save: +5
   Feats:  Kung Fu Brute, Stunning Fist, Improved Unarmed Strike, Power Attack


Class Skills
 The Class Name's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Bluff (Cha), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (Arcana, Nature, The Planes)(Int), Listen (Wis), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), Spot (Wis), Swim (Str), and Tumble (Dex).
Skills Points at Each  Level : 2 + int

Hit Dice: d10

Code: [Select]
[b]   BAB  Fort    Ref    Will  Abilities[/b]
1. +1    +2     +0     +2    Chaos Monk, Unstoppable Charge
2. +2    +3     +0     +3    Powerful Build
3. +3    +3     +1     +3    Always Approach Bob From the Front
4. +4    +4     +1     +4    The Big Stomp
5. +5    +4     +1     +4      Tossing Blow

Weapon Proficiencies: Rhinos gain no new proficiencies.

Chaos Monk: Your Rhino and Chaos Monk Levels stack for purposes of determining your Unarmed Damage, AC Bonus, and Chaos Strike abilities.

Unstoppable Charge (Ex): When making Charge, Bull Rush or Overrun attacks, your movement doesn't provoke Attacks of Opportunity, and you can charge through difficult terrain or other effects that slow movement.  You also do not take the -2 Penalty to AC for making a Charge Attack.

Powerful Build (Ex): You gain the Blubber Mutation (or another Mutation if you already have this one).

Always Approach Bob From the Front (Ex): Whenever you are attacked in melee by an opponent you are unaware of, you may immediately make an Attack of Opportunity against them at full BAB, ignoring Concealment or Invisibility penalties.  On the downside, if anything enters an adjacent square, make an opposed Spot vs Hide Check.  If you fail, you attack them as well regardless of who they are.  You are one twitchy bastard.

The Big Stomp (Ex): Whenever you make a successful Bull Rush or Overrun attack, your opponent also takes damage equal to your Unarmed Strike.  He can make a Reflex Save for half damage (Save DC is 10 plus 1/2 HD plus Str modifier).

Tossing Blow (Ex): When making a single Unarmed Strike as a Full Attack, the attack does maximum damage if it is successful, and you can initiate a Bull Rush as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity.  You are considered to be one Size Category larger than you actually are for purposes of this Bull Rush.  If successful, you do additional damage equal to the number of feet you push your opponent back.  Your movement does not provoke Attacks of Opportunity, but your opponents does.
 
PLAYING A RHINO
 Anything you don't see is a threat.  Anything that doesn't approach you from the front is a threat.  BOB SMASH THREATS!
 Combat: You run people over.  It ain't rocket science.
 Advancement: Your goal is to get more swole.
Resources: If so many people didn't need hired help, you'd be broke.

RHINOS IN THE WORLD
"DON'T...aw crap."
 A brief description of how your class is persevered in the world and how he interacts with the world.
 Daily Life: You aren't very bright or ambitious.  A lot of your time is spent lifting weights, and charging anyone who gets near.
 Notables:
 Organizations: A lot of people want you as hired muscle.

NPC Reaction
 NPC's always approach within your field of vision.  It' the only way they're safe.

RHINOS IN THE GAME
 This class eventually makes it's taker a bit dangerous unless he invests in his Spot Checks, s be sure the group is okay with it.
 Adaptation: This is re-fluffable for more serious campaigns..
 Encounters: Rhinos are generally found staring placidly into the distance.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The Paladin tries to get the attention of a local, who reflexively headbutts him into the air.  Don't see that every day.

Page 2 has no prestige classes.  Done.  :P

Page 3

Drunken Bastard
 - Needs spot as a class skill.
 - Does Drunken Rage have a cooldown period or usage limit?  It probably should.

Sure, that sounds fine.  I was going to suggest 1/encounter but there are so many ways for it to activate outside of a normal encounter...

Tru 'nuff. So, for an indiscriminate fibbler, is it immune to all the breath weapons? What prevents this, if the character has fibbled with each type of dragon that has a breath weapon?

And uh, I was trying to get your attention to the 'repuyayion' typo as well, on that post

Blind Old Cannibal Man
 - Can Mutable Age and/or Mutable Gender let you qualify?
 - This class doesn't require you to be blind.
 - Missing spot as a skill, but if you have to be blind it doesn't actually matter.
 - Extend Life could let you murder a chicken twice a month for massive bonuses.
 - Capstone feels too strong.  I'd suggest changing it to this:

Digest Knowledge (Ex): At 10th Level when performing the Extend Life ritual you also gain some of the abilities of your victim.  You may choose to gain any 1 of the choices from the list below, and you retain the bonus for as long as you are under the Extend Life ritual.  You can only have bonuses from one victim at a time, if the Extend Life ritual is performed while you're still under the effects of a previous Extend Life ritual you pick new bonuses from the new victim and lose the old bonuses.

 - Choose three skills.  You may treat yourself as if you had ranks equal to the number of ranks the victim had in that skill, and in addition you gain any racial bonuses to that skill the victim possessed (if any).
 - Choose any two feats your opponent had that you do not (you do not need to qualify for these feats).
 - Choose any one Extraordinary class feature of 4th level or lower that the victim had (does not include spellcasting/manifesting/binding/maneuvers/etc.) and gain it as the victim had it, including all choices the victim made.  Class features that grant bonus feats cannot be chosen.  (For example: If you gain a class feature from a 10th level Ranger you can gain three favored enemies using the choices that ranger had made, Wild Empathy, or an Animal Companion using the same animal companion choice the ranger had made.)


I changed the Skills language, dropped the feats from 3 to 2, and completely changed the class feature.  Skills could probably be bumped up to 4, I'm not sure how to make it desirable compared to the other two.

Page 5!

Gawd
 - The chart only goes to level 8.

Revolutionary
 - Needs Spot as a class skill
 - Capstone needs a way to regain abilities without gaining a level.  I'd suggest the Break Enchantment spell or something similar.

Rambler
 - Should have Knowledge Geography as a class skill, it's a prereq.  Same with Knowledge Religion.

Fibbler
 - As has been pointed out, repuyayion isn't a word.  :p
 - Shared Defenses should pick a dragon type, not let you be some sort of Fibbler slut (as was also pointed out already).  Maybe with a way of changing it after a week of fibbling or something like that.
 - I'm on the fence about the usefulness of Gift.

Internal
 - For Shifty Internal Organs, why not just have a percentage chance to negate critical hits/precision damage?
 - Internal fist feels too powerful.  6th level all attacks = touch attacks is too much for an 11th level character.
 - Monk of the Long Death is next to the class name.

Liar
 - Ninja of the Crescent Moon is next to the class name.
 - Evasion is listed twice in the text.

Sissy
 - shintao monk is next to the class name.
 - What if you already have Mutable Gender?
 - Polymorphously Perverse - What if you already have those mutations?

Howler
 - sun soul monk is next to the class name.

Fixed everything but Inernal, I need to think on what im replacing it with.

Gawd is only 8 Levels cause the class it parodies was one of the few classes that wasn't 5 or 10 Levels.
