[QUOTE="marcoasalazarm, post: 3315389, member: 26698"] First note: Here is an interesting 'Super Robot Wars' fanfic I'd like to share: [url]http://www.fanfiction.net/s/863667/1/[/url] SECOND: [SIZE=3][U][B][CENTER]DINOTOPIA, THE STORMLOCKED ISLE.[/CENTER][/B][/U][/SIZE] In the South Pacific, an island formed after 23 hours-the fabled fic-island of Dinotopia. Despite the storms around the island, some advanced technological equipment could reach the island. The sentient dinosaurs of the island were shocked to hear of some of the normal dinosaurs outside of the island lacking sentience. Some even went as far as to leave their home and attempt (and fail) to "educate" the dinosaurs in other locations such as Isla Sorna and Nublar. The following are some of the species of dinosaurs from Dinotopia. [B]Topian Deinonychus[/B] Unlike other deinonychus, this sentient species eats only fish and communes often with humans. They usually don't go to the outside world, preferring to remain on Dinotopia. Those that meet non-island deinonychus, they will revert into nonsentience (see stats in chapter 8 of the Core Rulebook) in a matter of weeks of running with the pack before they succumb to their hunter's nature. Species Traits Type: Magical beast. Size: Large. Ability Modifiers: +2 Strength, -2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, +2 Intelligence. Unarmed Attacks: A Topian deinonychus has the unarmed attacks of its animal cousins (see deinonychus entry in the CR), but can't use them all at once. They are all seperate attacks. Primitive Handling: Topian deinonychus can only handle archaic and simple weapons as well as exotic melee weapons. Attempting to use any other weapons leads in a -4 to attack rolls. Call of the Hunt: If a Topian deinonychus spends more than 10 days with a pack of nonsentient deinonychus immediately loses its class levels, languages, and equipment, and gains the stats of a normal deinonychus (detailed in chapter 8 of the CR). Bonus Feat and Feat Alteration: Topian Deinonychus gain the bonus feat Archaic Weapons Proficiency. They also consider Ekros pikes archaic weapons instead of exotic ones. Free Languages: Read/Write Dinotopian Footprint Signs and Speak Carnos (carnivorous dino language). LA: +2. [B]Topian Protoceratops[/B] The protoceratops of Dinotopia are the local lingo masters. They learn how to talk the talk with other species, be they human, alien, or dinosaur. Topian protoceratops may not be able to hold objects but they are quite good at using their beak for things other than talking if the need arises. Species Traits Type: Magical beast. Size: Medium. Ability Modifiers: -2 Strength, -2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, +2 Wisdom. Natural Attack: The Topian protoceratops can bite with its beak, dealing 1d8 damage.

While doing so it cannot speak or bite. Free Language Skills: Read/Write Dinotopian Footprint Signs and Speak Ceratopsian and one other language. Do to the fact that footprint stamping is all they can do, Topian protoceratops cannot write any other languages but can learn to read them. LA: +1. [B]New Weapon: Ekros Pike[/B] Named after a deinonychus named Ekros, these pikes are often used by deinonychus guards or as ceremonial items. [B]Ekros Pike[/B] Damage: 1d10 Critical: 20 Type: Piercing Range Increment: - Size: Large Weight: 5 lb. Purchase DC: 10 on Dinotopia, 26 elsewhere Restriction: Restricted (+2) EDIT: For Aquarius: I hope you don't mind me posting the following quote and answer: SENT BY AQUARIUS ALODAR, 28-01-07: "I just remembered that in certain multiversal circles, these 'Fictions' would be referred to as "[I]Partum[/I]" or 'the created' if you'll excuse the Latin.....Why? Well, we seem to have been repeatedly running over a mistake on both our parts, because the word 'fiction' (with or w/out caps) actually comes from [I]fingere[/I], "to form, create".
