twitch Why make me roll two dice if they don't USE the extra precision! twitch

I stole from Alien as well as Insect and (to a lesser extent) Amorphous. I like Elder Things but I don't think they should be every-day.

I actually like that they've gone into more detail in the "mundane" category, because a little concrete detail goes a looong way for me when trying to figure out what something is. That's why I love the hordelings :)

It's scribbled in blue pen. So...

Good point about FP, but adding a little more HP to monsters can be a really useful idea. And, I really felt like tables today. In retrospect I might treat it as +-10% simply because that's how the basic set lists suggested attribute limits - that and huge monsters should get more than +3 HPs if they're supposed to have lots of HP.

Not sure. It's a thought, for sure.

Well, I just found this, if it helps you any :) It's not identical to the MMII tables, and seems to be 3eD&D or some other D20 fantasy, but I think it's quite good-enough :D
