...two druids.

Well, THIS is going to be interesting. At least you have four party members now, heh.

Two and two-halves, anyway. Look on the bright side - we'll both follow the same plot hooks, for the most part. With a class in common, they can be from the same enclave.

Ageun and Alever won't usually be apart from each other; in most cases, they'll pretty much be treated as one unit (the joys of the Ride skill) including acting on the same initiative.

Hmm... only one level away from an extra feat for the Ape. Which is better - Combat Reflexes, Improved Natural Armor, Multiattack, Improved Natural Attack, or Improved Grapple? Decisions, decisions....

Improved grapple is always good, people hardly ever use it. Of course, multiattack is even better if you have a lot of secondary attacks, as a 15% increase to hit is great.

Hmm... does the Ape still need Improved Unarmed Strike as a requirement for Improved Grapple, or do the natural attacks cover it?

By the rules you need improved unarmed strike, but I'll waiver that since it does make sense.

Maybe one ape goes for Multiattack and the other for Improved Grapple? Grapple works great for me since it makes sure they stay still long enough to be sudden striked.

Don't forget that it denies them their Dex bonus to AC vs. everyone NOT in the grapple.

Hmm... actually, I don't want to think too hard about what happens to Ageun if Alever is grappling, so strike that option (for mine, anyway).

Number crunching....
Vs. an AC 15 opponent...
Multiattack: Hits on a 6/6/8 for 18.475 damage per round
Improved Natural Attack (Claw) hits on a 6/6/11 for 21.25 damage per round (assuming Improved Natural Attack (Claw) affects both claws); 6/6/11 for 16.3 damage per round if it only affects one.
Weapon Focus (Claw): Hits on a 5/5/11 for 18.45 damage per round.

Uh.... can you update to the latest version of OpenRPG, 1.7.1? Can't seem to see your server...

EDIT: Nevermind, found it.
