Ratmen racial template
Does anyone have any templates for this type of rat race?
Pardon the pun. |

Re: Ratmen racial template
If you've got the DFRPG adventure Against The Rat Men, I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to convert the basic rat men to a template.

Re: Ratmen racial template
Here’s one from an old campaign. Many idiosyncrasies here, not a generic rat man by any stretch:
Rat-kin 40 points Rat-kin live in the swamplands, in and around the city of Rodenia, a lively center for trade and innovation. Per +2 [10]; Discriminatory Smell [15]; Magic Resistance 3 [6]; Night Vision 5 [5]; Perfect Balance [15]; Reduced Consumption 4 (cast-iron stomach) [4]; Sharp Claws [5]; Sharp Teeth [1]; Temperature Tolerance 2 [2]; Curious (12) [-5]; Gluttony (12) [-5]; Selfish (12) [-5]; Ugly [-8]; Born Biter 2 (MA115) [0] A PC did play a Rat-man in the campaign, a roguish type of course |

Re: Ratmen racial template
Thanks!
Guess with a title like that I should have checked it out. |

Re: Ratmen racial template
May not be quite what you're looking for, but GURPS Bio-Tech (page 74), includes a racial template for something called a Tek-Rat.

Re: Ratmen racial template
Gnome's template looks like a pretty solid basis for a human-sized ratman (ratmen are often smaller than humans, like the Tek Rat, so it depends on exactly what you're looking for). Leaving off Magic Resistance will make it more generic; I'd personally leave off Selfish as well (see this article), and probably Ugly. From my experience with pet rats, I'd be tempted to give them Chummy or at least Congenial - rats are typically far happier in groups. Gluttony would also be optional - rats seem to be more inclined to store food than gorge themselves, and will even share their food. However, if you do have a rat that's an incorrigible glutton, his/her cagemates are likely to adopt similar behavior, as otherwise they risk not getting enough to eat (as their stashes are invariably devoured by the glutton).

Re: Ratmen racial template
Lecherousness and Xenophilia, especially for male rats, would be appropriate, as they will do it with anything.

Re: Ratmen racial template
Read it as "Ramen racial template" and thought it was 2019/20 version of that old sweet (I think raspberry pie or something like that) character.
