AURUMVORAX (horror subclass) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- For centuries Tsunami's economy has continued to grow and flourish through the aid of its fluid economic medium: gold. Prosperity has reached unprecedented heights as the civilized folk of the world manage their businesses at a constant, rapid pace. Unforunately, it seems that Tsunami's merchants may have pushed too far. With increased contact with the wilds of Tsunami, an ancient breed of beasts has been awoken. These feral monstrosities are truly nothing more than animals, and thus have no interest in naming themselves. However, mankind has dubbed the creatures the "Aurumvorae." An Aurumvorax lives as any animal would: strictly for survival. To accomplish and ensure its survival, the Aurumvorax consumes meat, and more importantly, GOLD. With gold flowing in every direction all over Tsunami, the beast finds itself compelled by primal instinct and animalistic lust to claim it all as its own. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Aurumvorax boasts eight massively-muscled legs, each with a set of deadly golden claws. Despite its legs, the creature is often said to belong to perhaps the great cat family. Regardless of what rumors are spread, this is not true. The Aurumvorax's teeth, claws, eyes, and hide distinguish the beast from the lesser lifeforms of the animal kingdom. Typically, the Aurumvorae of Tsunami are about four feet long, but nonetheless weigh an average of six hundred pounds! A ferocious fighter, the Aurumvorax enchances its combat abilities by digesting gold alongside the normal process of gaining experience. Gold is thus critical to these animals, and their primal instinct will never allow them to give up what gold they carry to another being. It is STRONGLY recommended that you read 'help aurumgrowth' before selecting this subclass. Not doing so may result in a very unpleasant playing experience. A drawing of an Aurumvorax is available here: http://www.geocities.com/malchis/img/aurumvorax.jpg -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aurumvorae have the following skills: attacking awareness clamp collide combat consume dig fury grate instinct intimidate position pounce rampage resistance toughness Certain other skills are accounted for through consuming gold. Once again, it would benefit you greatly to read 'help aurumgrowth'. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aurumvorax stats: Strength : 120 Dexterity : 120 Intelligence : 60 Constitution : 100 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aurumvorae have the following resistance adjustments: Fire : +20 Shock : +20 Poison : +10 Blunt : +10 Psychic : -20 Petrify : -20 Cold : -20 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aurumvorae have the following sight restrictions: Max Sight: 7 Min Sight: -3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aurumvorax terrain bonuses: Underground : +10 Mountains : +10 Hills : +5 Forest : +5 Jungle : +5 Water : +5 Underwater : +5 Building : -10 Town : -5 Bridge : -5 Ship : -5 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: Aurumvorae will NOT function properly in TWars, sorry.
