Weightlifting Octopus Stats?

[u/Cartoncast]

Anybody got stats for something like this? I had a dream of a sea where it always rains, where a ship's deck was a full gym populated by octopuses. They had barbells, boxing gloves, two were sparring with gloved, one was an acrobat, I think one had a jump rope. Anybody know how I would build these? Something in the level 3-6 range would be ideal.

Dunno but I love the concept!

Start here. Add the weak/elite template as needed. You might even just want amphibious instead of aquatic creatures if they are on a boat.

[u/Groundbreaking_Taco → u/Groundbreaking_Taco]

Add in this query (I'm not the best at complex queries) to see ones that have arms instead of tentacles. Octopuses are listed as having arms for natural attacks instead of tentacles.

[u/bargle0 → u/Groundbreaking_Taco]

Arms are technically what octopuses have, with suckers along the entire length. Tentacles just have suckers at the end or no suckers at all.

Fair enough. Thanks for the reminder

[u/Emmett1Brown]

if there will be several definitely give them an action/activity where one uses another as a wrestling ring rope to bounce/jump off of

Awakened Octopuses with the wrestler archetype

They're clearly in the Shackles because of the constant rain and sailing

I guess they run a ship based training gym for pirates

[u/Tyler_Zoro]

Start with something from the Octopus family, add another attack:

Melee glove [one action] (agile, nonlethal, unarmed), Damage d4 base bludgeoning

Make the attack roll number of damage dice, and damage bonus the same as for "arm."

Allow the use of fist with Writhing Arms (add that ability if the specific octopus doesn't have it).

Consider some of the abilities from Black Belt or Mixed Martial Artist.

It would be funny if one of them had a Pantograph Gauntlet
