My, my, what sucky grammar we have

[Hi no Seijin]

It is...when they're not trying to kill you. :P

[Commodore Axilon]

They are hostile to humans? You wouldn't think so with that picture. :-\

[Hi no Seijin]

Pretty much anything that moves.  Aggressive creatures, but not very smart.  They only have an Intelligence score of 2, which gives a -4 modifier.

[Commodore Axilon]

Would they make good guard animals?

[mr.burns]Release the owlbears![/mr.burns]

[Hi no Seijin]

The Monster Manual said they would make good free-roaming guardians.  So you might want to put something in the woods or a shallow cavern, because that's where they live.

[Commodore Axilon]

How about a secret volcanic island base? Is that habitable?

[Hi no Seijin]

Well, if it was a special breed of owlbear.  Maybe an owlbear from the Fire Plane.

Just don't put in a mummy owlbear.  It'll probably burn up.

[Commodore Axilon]

How much would your average owlbear cub cost? And are they easy to train?

[Hi no Seijin]

Owlbear cubs are worth 3,000 gold pieces.  Quite expensive.  And they are hard to train, but easier to train than an adult owlbear.

[Commodore Axilon]

How much is one of these archaic "gold pieces" worth in today's currency? Preferably Yen.

[Hi no Seijin]

Well, fifty gold pieces weigh one pound, so take the market price for gold and figure it out from there.

[Commodore Axilon]

One gold piece is around $13.

So that comes to around $39,000 per owlbear cub.

*whistles*

Edit: According to my google-fu, a tiger cub can go for $60,000. So that's actually a pretty good deal.

And now I break the convo chain!

My god, loook at what you've done to this topic! I now give you all a whole bunch of cookies for how much you made me laugh!

[MasterKeyX]

Can I have chocolate chip? Please? ;)

[DW]

I like frosted. and in answer of the question a looooooooooong ways back, Naruto would stop the topic by having Boss Toad sit on it. and I agree with the Narutard thing, at least for the character Naruto, I don't like him. If you were insulting the show in general.... ::)
