To test out the "Scavenger Toolbox", could some people make sample scavengers or try to break it? I'm worried about some unholy combo of traits that I didn't see together. Also as an edit, you cannot take Powerful Build after taking Small.
Sample Scavenger: Vulture (12)
+2 Constitution, +2 Wisdom (10) Vultures understand the reality of the world around them and how grim it can be.
+2 Endurance, +2 Nature (8) Being able to go days without a proper meal, Vultures may look emaciated at times but feel fine by the time they find something dead.
Frenzy (5) A near-dead meal just needs some encouragement.
Bold (3) Vultures are not easily shocked, most meals for them are more grisly than a phantasm.
Low-Light Vision (2)
Healthy (0) Vultures aren't picky about eating and are rare to be infected.
Sample Scavenger: Bear (12)
+2 Strength, +2 Constitution (10)
Heavy (8)
Hardy (6)
Claws (4)
+1 Fortitude Defense (2)
Fury (0)
Healthy: +5 on initial Fortitude defense and following saving throws against disease and sickness. (-2 points)
