GLOG class: Terror Bird

Following on from this post. 

Like Dogs and Cats, you cannot talk, use ropes or ladders, or manipulate anything that requires fingers. You can't wear gear that has not been specially made for you. Your speed is 2x that of a human. You are very intelligent for a Terror Bird but that doesn't mean that you can read or do arithmetic - your intelligence is social and spatial, not logical. You do understand spoken language when it is used by party members, or other people that you know well. 

Unlike Dogs and Cats, you do not have a more human form in the dreamlands - instead, you are twice your usual size, have double HP, deal double damage, and are wearing twice the amount of jewellery. The dreams of the Terror Birds long predate those of humans, and have nothing in common with them. 

Also unlike Dogs and Cats, Terror Birds are not able to designate a Companion in the party.

TERROR BIRD

A Sprinter, Limited Flight, Killer Born, natural weapon (terrible, ripping beak) d8
B Imperious
C Transfix
D King of Predators, Majesty

Sprinter: Outside combat (it takes a while for you to get going) your speed is five times that of a human. You can run at this speed all day without tiring. 

Limited Flight: You do not take fall damage. With a 30 ft run up you can glide 50 ft, but get no elevation. Flapping your wings to facilitate either of these is loud, ungainly, and generally accompanied by squawking and hissing.  

Killer Born: Your crit range is increased by one, and you roll d12s instead of your usual d8 when resolving critical hits. 

Imperious: Attacks against you that deal fear or psychic damage have their damage capped at 1.

Transfix: When you lock eyes with an enemy you may force a contested CHAR check. If you win the contest, your prey is frozen in terror and may not move on their next turn. 

King of Predators: Mundane animals will not willingly attack you. Every time one of your crits kills someone, all enemies with 2 or less HD must check morale.   

Majesty: For each 200s worth of jewellery you are wearing, your CHAR counts as one higher for the purposes of your Transfix ability, to a maximum of +3. 

I find them genuinely horrifying, and can totally imagine them dripping in jewels
