I may fiddle with this later, but I'm thinking something like:

Strength 5, Dexterity 2, Stamina 5, Size 7, Speed (Str + Dex + 5), 1/0 Armor

It has a +2L bite attack and a +1L claw attack. The armor won't stack with your mage armor, just as any armor wouldn't.

would the bite attack count as a brawl attack or a weapon use attack?

would my speed merit transfer over to bear form or are physical merits lost on transforming?

and doesn't that strength seem a little low it's only one higher then the book gives for a guard dog

also i'm guessing the thing the core book says about animals defense being the higher of wits or dexterity only applies to real animals and not transformed mages, right?

Ferrinus posted:

-You can vulgarly raise any attribute to [normal max + Arcanum +1], but as a transitory spell - it's gone in a few turns.

:ohdear:

does the normal max take into account the normal max of the character's base form, or does it count whatever they've transformed into? and would the bonus disappear completely after a few turns, or would it just go down to normal max + 1?

also, would medved be able to chant in high speech as a bear at life 4 (i guess at life 5 i could magically make his bear form be able to talk?)?

Medved stretches his limbs, spreads his legs, and assumes one of the many stances taught to him during his tutelage in the Adamantine Arrow. Without a word to his fellow mages, he begins to work his way through one of the many forms of meditative martial arts he knows.

He feels the Primal Wild run from his center to his extremities, fueling his movements. His senses expand, measuring the life pulsing through his body down to the cellular level. Each breath brings teeming life into his body, each breath expels it out into the world. His senses grope his circulatory system, tracking the movement of a single oxygen molecule as it travels from his lungs, pushed along by his heart, to a cell in his quadriceps, where it is converted into energy to fuel a kick as he finishes up one form and switches seamlessly to another.

He hears his heart beat loudly and strongly in his ears, a drum pulsing with the Primal Wild. He feels the spirit of the Great Bear radiate through his body, feels the wild energies it brings him. The Primal Wild calls to him, and he answers it, reveling in the sheer quantity of life that floods his senses.

He feels Martyroshkya, sitting on a slab in the corner of the room. The older mage coughs, and Medved detects the life of countless virii on his breath; the Arrow is coming down with a cold. He feels Tombheart, still recovering from the long journey, still tired from lugging the Seer all that way. He feels Arrian, lost in his own oblation, Solomon, his life force tinged with the infernal, and the dog that is not really a dog laying near it's master. He feels the sightless fish that swim the depths of the underground lake next to him, the plant life and micro biotic organisms they feed on.

His senses expand again, and he feels Enoch, strained under the pressure of resisting the Seers' machinations. Farther and farther his senses stretch, out past Enoch's sanctum and into the woods proper. He feels the life of the forest, each creature individually and all together as a mass. He feels the hawk, gliding on the wind, hunting for it's prey. He feels the rabbit, burrowing, hiding from the hawk. He feels as the hawk snuffs out the life of the rabbit, as the rabbit gives birth, as the cycle of life continues onward. He feels as the forest breathes, taking life, giving it, and he is struck by an understanding he has not felt before. He understands the cycle, feels it in a way that stretches beyond dry facts and into tacit experience.

Medved's senses begin contracting inwards, out of the forest and back into Enoch's sanctum, then back into the lake chamber and into his own body. He comes back to the slow and rhythmic breathing of his own body, and he opens his eyes, ceases his movement. He blinks. Enoch wasn't exaggerating when he said the sigil focused the mind, he thinks.

Originally named Kakarotto (カカロット Kakarotto?, addressed as Kakarot in the English anime and spelled Kakarrot in the English manga),[28][29] Goku is born a member of a fictional race of extraterrestrials called Saiyans. Shortly following his birth, Goku is sent from his home, a fictional planet named Vegeta, to prepare Earth for sale on the intergalactic market by destroying all its life.[30] Due to an injury to his head that caused him severe amnesia, Goku forgets his purpose, and instead focuses on becoming stronger for little more than the pleasure of it.[30] In the beginning of the series, Goku meets a highly intelligent 16-year-old teenage girl named Bulma, the desert bandit Yamcha, and two shapeshifters named Oolong and Puar. He also encounters one of his closest friends, Krillin, and others during his training. Participating in various martial arts tournaments, Goku also battles foes-turned-allies such as Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu, as well as Piccolo Daimao's offspring of the same name.

During his early adulthood, Goku meets his older brother, Raditz, an encounter that results in his death. Following the wish for his revival from the Dragon Balls, Goku continues to face other enemies thereafter linked to his heritage, such as Vegeta and even Frieza, who's actions force him to transform into a Super Saiyan. As the series continues, the focus on Goku's past is shifted away from as new enemies are introduced simply as threats to the fictional universe. After his encounter with Frieza, Goku trains his first child, Gohan, to be his successor. When the androids appear, Goku comes down with the heart virus that Future Trunks warned him about. Later on Goku sacrifices himself during the battle against the evil android Cell, leaving Gohan to succeed him. Goku returns to Earth seven years later from the afterlife and meets his second child, Son Goten. Shortly after he participates in the next martial arts tournament, however he is drawn into a battle for the universe against an extraterrestrial named Majin Buu. Goku also battles Vegeta after he is taken under control by Babidi, and the match ends in a draw. Goku then later on kills Buu with his Genki Dama technique. During the martial arts tournament held ten years after Buu's defeat, Goku meets Buu's human reincarnation, Uub, and takes off with him in the end of the story, intending to train him as a successor after realizing that his previous successor, Gohan, had prioritized his education over his fighting.

Ten more years later, Goku is transformed back into a child with a wish made by Emperor Pilaf using the Black Star Dragon Balls. Shortly after he, Trunks, and Pan all take a trip around the universe to locate the Black Star Dragon Balls and return them to Earth. Goku later battles the evil Baby, Super Android 17 and the evil shadow dragons. His final challenge is against Omega Shenron, who he eventually kills using the Genki Dama. Goku leaves with the original form of Shenron, only to appear 100 years later at the next martial arts tournament, where he is observing the battle between his descendant (Son Goku Jr.) and Vegeta's descendant (Vegeta Jr.). Goku's granddaughter Pan spots him, but he quickly departs.
