Murphy's Rules

[ralphmelton]

In WotC's Masters of the Wild, a dire elephant (think of the oliphaunts from The Two Towers) is listed as having a climb speed of 10 feet every six seconds.

That's better climbing ability than D&D gives a housecat.

Which, when you think about it, leads to some very amusing mental pictures. :)

Of course, the cartoon would show a cat chasing a mouse chasing an elephant... :)

My notion for a picture was of the arboreal megapachyderm brachiating through the trees... "AAAAAAaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAH!"

I like it! Much better than Cats. I'm going to read it again and again! :)

Cats canonically climb faster up than down. The opposite is apt to be true of a dire elephant.

I laughed out loud at this.

Louie feels he could outrun, outclimb and outsmart a dire elephant any day. He just told me so.

Duke didn't deign to comment, and Ella said she'd rather sit on my lap.
