Quick Question: Monster Classes and Subclasses
Does anyone have any working/workable/decent/reasonable subclass systems for monsters? For example: Mundane is pretty broad so you could divide it into Dragon, Humanoid, etc. It would be similar to the way that Animal is technically divided into Vermin, Fish, Reptile, Bird, Mammal for spells.
Yes, it is very D&D-esque, but I feel like someone must have done something nice like this. I plan on making my own up or tweaking someone else's, but it's always nice to have a starting point or a reference. What works in one RPG may not work in another! Thanks! |

Re: Quick Question: Monster Classes and Subclasses
Aha! I was going with the one from DF2. I even have that little PDF. I can't believe that I didn't think of it!
Speaking of Dungeon Fantasy Monsters... It has a 1 in the title... So where are the others? And I don't mean that literally. I'm aware that there aren't others yet, but I'd be surprised if people didn't want another. |

After reading through DF:M1... I'm afraid that there is still one thing missing. What is a dragon? I guess it just bugs me especially that dragons don't have anything special going for them... They don't even have to be their own category, but... I dunno. It would make it easier on Dragonslayers for enchantments and Higher Purpose and whatnot! |

That said, there may be other things getting in the way after that - the eventual Car Wars kickstarter, perhaps, though I hear that they don't intend to let it get in the way of SJG's other lines the way Ogre did. We won't really know when the tubes come unclogged until releases start flowing. Quote:

Clogged? Basically the folks who do the final "GURPS" prep work for books are retasked to doing "Ogre" things. Ogre's almost done so soon we will get new books (hopefully). :-)

Re: Quick Question: Monster Classes and Subclasses
You guys both rock! And I think I might just have to make a separate category for the giant fire-breathing lizards! Or acid-breathing... Lightning-breathing... Ya know how it goes. I think it will be smoother for me in the long run! Thanks for the advice!
Now I'm excited for Ogre! Simply because the sooner Ogre gets here, the sooner GURPS gets here! |
