Since it is supposed to serve the same purpose as Fantasy I assume that its more an idea collection than anything else, though the TOC does not answer that question...
So I would like to repeat my question and expand it a little bit:
- Is there a way to generate a Hit location table for aliens that cannot be assigned one of the standart HLTs? E.g. a giantic space snail with a very vulnerable exo-lung (and that is not even exotic, some snails actually have an exo-lung)
- Is there a guideline on how to create aliens with a more exotic physiology (e.g. what is the advantage that lets me turn my head 360°? Is it just a perk?), what if my mouth is not in my head but my ellbow etc....
- How do you handle different metabolisms in relation to food/poisons/diseases?
