Cats also have the ability to look as if whatever disaster they caused was planned all along... "Yeah, I meant to hit my head against the glass door. It was just what I planned. And it's all your fault!" *bites human*

I think this is a perk.

They look that way, but who believes them? If everyone does, or they get a bonus to pull it off, it's a perk. Otherwise it's a Quirk. Or a Delusion...certainly one of my main joys of owning cats was always watching them screw up on jumps and fall, step on the food bowl and send it flying, fall through thin ice crusts into snow, stuff like that.

It's so rare for sequels to be worth the effort, but I'm anticipating this even more than the original!

;)

Son of Designer's Notes? No... how about Designer's Notes Returns!?

It's a Quick-contest between the cat's willpower and the owner's willpower, so anybody with weak will is catnip in their cat's paws. *grin*

I have a question about Neck Snap (Bite)...

How can you snap someone's neck with a bite? Doesn't Neck Snap require two hands to be used? I'm talking realistically, not just with game mechanics. I just can't see being able to get the force needed to snap someone's neck through a bite. I certainly can't get that much leverage in with my neck and teeth...

Wouldn't you need an exceedingly large tongue? :P

No, at least gators use their body weight and wiggel around janking at your limb until it is ripped off... I persume that a man sized cat could do the same, biting your neck and then tearing at it until it snaps...

Game mechanics wise, a bite counts as two handed grapple if your mouth is at least one SM bigger than your foes neck (or other limb you bit)

How do you find the SM of the mouth and limb? They don't match the hit location penalties AFAIK . . .

That's how lions and other big cats hunt, they launch themselves at the prey, bite and twist snapping their neck, if they fail they can get gored, especially by wildebeests.
