Monster CR Meme!

Hi everyone! By request, we are posting the monster CR meme! One of our players noted we’ve got a lot of monsters with pack or similar instincts and mental changes, and it seems like a good time to start working on those. And if you would like to plan for other changes, that is just fine as well.

This meme is for RP planning centered around monster changes, be they physical, mental, or behavioral! Feel free to comment, plot, and plan all sorts of monster shenanigans!

Here is a form, if you would like to use one:

<b>Character:</b> Your character’s name! <b>Monster:</b> Their monster form! <b>Current Traits:</b> What current traits do you have active? <b>Upcoming Traits:</b> What upcoming traits are you planning to activate? <b>RP Plans/Desired CR:</b> What sort plans or interactions are you hoping for? <b>Other:</b> Anything else!

Our next event plotting post will be going up on May 2nd. Be on the look out for weird gravity, psychic shenanigans, and BUGS.

god yutyrannus is such a good dinosaur pick though

also packmates packmates packmates (zack prob won't fight you for dominance either bro, but he is extremely tolerant of aggressive headbutts and chinrubs)

Everyone goes for raptors, which ARE awesome, but what about the one who's science name translates to "beautiful feathered tyrant". How can I not!

If Zack already knows his place there's no need to fight him over it at least. Good group cohesion! A stable pack is a happy pack.

[soldiernoclass]

it is truly perfect.

as long as he's not getting pushed around, he's a team player. although that does give me a terrible idea, if sephiroth is open to some casual friendly sparring to keep in shape (which is also potential for sephiroth to like unconsciously test him for that pack ranking business)?

i can see zack having an unexpectedly bad reaction at a crucial moment, remembering sephiroth actually trying to kill him. which could be interesting for their cr development since zack is pretty much just settling calmly into denial, at the moment.

[firstsoldier]

I am immediately and completely interested. His fire breath hasn't come in yet, could always change that for an appropriately on fire setting.

Zack's a logical choice to practice on with, since also First. Sideways testing for proof of that claim.

[soldiernoclass]

hhhhhh yes, i love that. the juxtaposition of sephiroth and fire will not be good for his mind.

also yes, my thoughts exactly!! quelle surprise when they're pretty evenly matched.

[firstsoldier]

Especially since I think by the end of Crisis Core, Zack's more than a match for Genesis and Angeal. Who needed all the alien dna, this kid did it through sheer backwater expert! Also I'm thinking I can make use of Sephiroth's .. apparently dim grasp on where the line is between 'friendly spar' and 'obliterating the junon canon'. Other people might notice something is awry and put an end to it before things escalate, he might decide Zack's just putting more effort into it for a better scuffle.

We'll need to find Zack a serviceable weapon Masamune can't just cut in half.

[soldiernoclass]

yes to all of this!! i'm so ready for him to have a terrible time. and i think looping in potential bystanders makes sense, too.

well, zack's upgraded from just junk to junk-sword, so that's slightly better.

[firstsoldier]

Sounds good to me. No reason for anyone to be alarmed at first, it's just a friendly spar. :D though will intervention be on zack's behalf or sephiroth's..

[soldiernoclass]

honestly it might be a toss-up lmao. sephiroth thinks it's a fun challenge and zack is having flashbacks to nearly dying, nobody is going to be pulling the release cord safely on this one.

[firstsoldier]

Until he realizes it's serious, Sephiroth will be having a great time! Do you know how hard it is to find someone to scuffle with that actually provides a good workout???

I'll spend some time trying to think of ways to make it easier on Zack to have a terrible time and or think history is repeating. Do we want to wait til next month's event or take advantage of the fact nobody will care if we incinerate a whole lot of thorny plants?

[soldiernoclass]

let's save it for next month! (who knows, maybe it'll be a more mountainous setting and therefore even more appropriate)
