There's always Osle's Catfolk. That way you're not just eating a +1 LA as you're understandably unwilling to do, and you get a bit more for that effective level.

Yep that'll probably do it. Thanks. Funny he didn't suggest that.

I assumed you would've already checked the monster class index for anything starting with cat. :P

Here I was thinking you'd temporarily forgotten it because of the size of the index... xD

Fair point, I admit I wasn't thinking about the monster classes. But yea, a Catfolk Ordinary Magician.... Wait, they can do that right? Also the shifting ability score is odd... Especially with the other ability.

Dafuq, this is 7 pages already?

Anyone have any suggestions on the missing feats for Freezaja?

Edit: For only taking one level Astral Stalker is underwhelming.  I'm going to change it to either Xill (for +1 BAB and four claws), or Anthopomorphic Animal (for +1 BAB and better class abilities).

If you do not have any ideas for the extra feats you could just not take the flaws.:p

Also trivia, Xill was the first contribution from another person to my monster classes. Man that is nostalgic.

Xill is also underwhelming compared to Thri-Kreen but the Xill starts with a point of BAB which means I can actually take combat feats at first level.

+1 BAB monsters, eh?

Feral Gargun + Ice Beast would make a nice Yeti. (+1 Str/+1 Con, Powerful Build)
Gargoyle grants a decent way to go unnoticed and some interesting attack options, plus +2 Str/Con (though -2 Int)
Titan also gets powerful build, some SLA's, change shape (though no stat mods at 1st level).
Your Marrusault also has +1 BAB at first level, d10 HD, and 4 skill points/lvl. Not an awful base to build off of.
Flind Gnoll also gets 4 skill points/lvl, free disarm attempt on critical hit. +2 Str at first level.

Obviously there are plenty more options, depending on the overall concept of your retired boss monster; These are all generally humanoid in shape.

My concept is generally humanoid in shape with at least two natural weapons (I'm going for natural weapon attacks and Necklace of Natural Weapons gets expensive when it is boosting more than one type so I'm using that as a restriction as well).  I looked through everything, Xill and Anthropomorphic Animal appear to be the best options on that front.  Anthropomorphic Animal beats out all the options you listed unfortunately (I went through everything last night, not for the first time).

There are a couple of oozes that I'd be tempted to go with if I didn't think I'm going to have enough issues fitting in.  I don't want to be super obviously a monster, everyone will try to kill me then.   :lol

That reminds me, I never did pick a final monster class.

Os, if I am an obvious monster instead of a thing that looks humanoid will that be an issue or will I need Deceivingly Innocent Form?

Also, the Shoggoth mentions HD in a lot of its class abilities.  Is that meant to be HD in general or class level?

I thought you picked that astral hunter class? And I'm pretty sure that all of Os's monster classes use total HD, not class HD.

(I still want to play this one too, btw)

I did but I decided that Astral Hunter wasn't very good, I was talking about changing it previously.

Also this class was made by someone else so bad writing might have slipped through (it was also lasted posted in 2012).

New IC thread is up. Apologies if I'm a bit more railroady in this campaign at start but I can't really fully flesh out a full map right now and would like it to go somewhere.

No, between gorons and deku and zoras, most monstrous beings don't stand out too much in society as long as they behave themselves and aren't wearing human skins or something like that, and yes to HD.

Okay, I'll revise my character to be more monstrous with a BAB+1 at first level which will make me feel better about my feats.  Then I'll migrate over.

It's a PbP, sometimes I feel like they have to be more railroady otherwise people sometimes never actually get anywhere...
