If I were your DM and you wanted to do that I would probably give the snake a -2 to hit because its platform keeps dodging ans weaving, and your character a -2 to hit for being attached to a snake that keeps throwing its weight around as it tries to strike. or you could just have it suddenly be large when that happens, look the other way, whistle, and pretend that nothing happened.Īs far as having the snake ride you and attack, my main concern is that a 20+ lb weight attached to you and swinging around randomly is going to make combat harder for you. If it advances to large at some point, you could probably figure out it's weight and length at that point, and then divide it into weight/height advancement per level for extra detail if you care. For our purposes I would probably just say that the snake starts a 7 feet and 22 lbs. So as the snake gets bigger, and thicker, the weight per foot goes up a bit (you could probably create a graph if you really care that much). Its range is wide, from Argentina to northern Mexico. That's a little bigger than our size guesstimate, but very compatible with it.Ī little bit of math makes that about 3.1 lbs/ft for the 7 foot snake, and 3.3 lbs per foot for the bigger one. boa constrictor, ( Boa constrictor ), large thick-bodied snake of the boa family, Boidae. It also says that they commonly weigh 22 to 33 pounds. Wikipedia says that a female (it gives more specific information for females from what I can tell) averages 7 to 10 feet at maturity. I would put that snake at probably 4 to 6 feet, leaning toward 5 or 6 minimum. In your shoes, I would ask myself how big a constrictor would need to be to strike and hit a target 5 feet away. I wouldn't think of it in terms of how much the average human weighs. My instinct is that the size in this case must be based mostly on reach. Also with a climb speed it should be able to attack normally while climbing right? Since it has a climb speed, it can take 10 and has a big climb modifier, and for a constrictor snake climbing on a person should be quite easy, so staying on should be no trouble. So is there any source that actually tells us how much the pathfinder constrictor snakes weigh? I'm thinking of sometimes carrying mine on my character.Įxtra info: I plan to have the snake trained to climb on its hunter. This makes me inclined to think of their size more as the space they take up when on the ground, because a 150 lb constrictor snake would be quite massive to be considered a medium creature. Wikipedia lists typical female (the bigger ones) boa constrictors as weighing 20-30 lbs, and unusually large ones sometimes reaching as much as 100 lbs. When it's medium, does it weigh as much as a typical medium character? This is dramatically more than a real constrictor snake weighs. The constrictor snake animal companion ranges from medium to large in size after advancement, but what's very unclear is how much it weighs.
