Could you just imagine the reach bonus on that bite attack? :o

Title: Re: Is there something like a Monster Manual?
Post by: Jack_Spade on <03-29-16/1256:41>: Actually, I'd need some reliable stats for normal animals. The shapechange spell is otherwise one of those really nifty things you can't properly use.

Wait, can we get them back. Harlequin wants to fight them again.

Just let us know if you do so we can stock up on these (http://www.hackneygazette.co.uk/polopoly_fs/1.1573148!/image/3115357043.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_630/3115357043.jpg)

I wish for toxic blood mage dragons infected with HMHVV!

But I'll settle for Verjigorm.

Post by: MijRai on <03-31-16/0159:11>: I second Mirikon's wish.
Title: Re: Is there something like a Monster Manual?
Post by: ScytheKnight on <03-31-16/0242:00>: What I'll be interested in seeing are some kind of pet rules, especially for anything that could potentially even be taken on runs. It's something that would suddenly make Animal Handling a very useful skill.

This very muchly!

Jet the Hellhound is getting fat and lazy staying in the office instead of joining my character picking up bounties.

Post by: Tarislar on <03-31-16/2322:14>: Jet the Hellhound needs better Unarmed Skill, seriously, who made them less effective than Herbivores?

I think Pet Rules & Drake Rules both sound good.

Some more basic animal stats is cool for sure.

Biodrones scurs me. No, really, After the Bear & 2 Bobcats I had to face down, I never want to see one of them again. Like...EVER

I think whatever that thing in the picture is shouldn't exist. Like EVER. Seriously, what IS that supposed to be based on?

One quick question: Is there something like a Monster Manual?
If you don't mind older editions there are a couple of them at least.
ParaAnimals of N.America & ParaAnimals of Europe were for 2nd? Edition IIRC.
Stats would be old but the fluff & pics are good for ideas.

Who cares.
Its a big dog, it should bite like a Wolf, not like a Cow.
