    Converting prehistoric creatures

    Oh, I was under the impression that now that the conversion for this specific need is over that this forum would be locked. I could indeed help with the conversion, but the whole project I began on was with prehistoric creatures, and I must finalize that and the fantasy implications of such...

    Reviewing, Revising, and Finalizing Prehistoric Animals and Dinosaur Ecology

    Agreed: avian is an off-term, and in fact I think there are two distinct categories: Avian Prims (Birds, Flightless Birds) and Avian/Aerial Dinos (pterosaurs, pseudo-pterosaurs). Also, Hunters/Runners is specifically a dinosaur category. Though some of them have distinctly bird-like features...

    Unconverted Animals

    So if I send an email to that address, I am sending it directly to the creator of the site, Scott Greene? Or is this an email that might refer me to him? Any recommendations on how best to address this email and/or what is going to incite the best consideration of my ideas to publish content...

    Critique my homebrew creatures & variant rules, please!

    Ok, so I have been brewing a whole boatload of stuff over the last year or so, most of which is coming together into a campaign setting - which means it all needs a little review, revisions, and some play-testing or combat-storming if possible (in other, words, what works? what doesn't?) I am...

    Converting prehistoric creatures

    Ok, I am doing that now. So... I guess this means that this forum is over...? *sniffles* -will http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-3rd-edition-house-rules/266790-critique-my-homebrew-creatures-variant-rules-please.html#post4969656 is where I am putting it for now.

    Dinopriminals and Phantasy Prehistorium (Nym/Omarka)

    Angel - Seraphim (Judaic archangel) Okay, I know this is a veer off of our current path, but it is an angelic being (like our guardinals/dinopriminals also are), it is birdlike, and it technically does relate to the campaign setting because of the connection to the sigils which protect Nym, and...

    Converting prehistoric creatures

    Ok, yeah I see it now (it was a long night when I found your response and that page). That makes sense. I always wondered why we couldn't just have it as a detail mark on the weapon/attack form entry/table.... Having BAB by itself directly solves no issue of attack except picking up a rock or...

    Converting prehistoric creatures

    Pathfinder Game Looks like Tumble and Jump became Acrobatics - which is always decent; I enjoyed Sleight of Hand, and Monte Cook's Sneak as Move Silently and Hide combined skill uses. But, CMA and CMD? I can make a melee attack, but defending...? And what about a ranged attack? I am not...

    Converting prehistoric creatures

    Well, as long as we have something good to discuss, we could keep this thread open a little longer. ;) :D Well, I have been dead broke for the whole year - and then some... So I have had little to no money to invest in gaming materials since the release of 4e. At that time, I carefully...

    Reviewing, Revising, and Finalizing Prehistoric Animals and Dinosaur Ecology

    Exactly. As for the chameleon dino, he could get away with that in the story for two reasons: the "you don't really know" factor, and the fact that they were mixing DNA to fill restructuring gaps, and who knows exactly how far that diverted from normality. Genetically altered would definitely...

    Dinopriminals and Phantasy Prehistorium (Nym/Omarka)

    Empathy and calm emotions are great too - those will help contribute to being socially aware and well-guided. I think the manifested weapon will do much better for the sole fact that they will not have to wield heavily clawed fingers, but rather more of a toed/hooved front appendages, like this...

    Reviewing, Revising, and Finalizing Prehistoric Animals and Dinosaur Ecology

    You know, those thoughts and critical reviews are just what is needed for this project, exactly as you stated: what is real, and what is imagined? My big soap box issue is Dilophosaurus and what Jurassic Park did to that critter in our minds.... :( But anyways, yeah those are all cool ideas...

    Dinopriminals and Phantasy Prehistorium (Nym/Omarka)

    I think any of these creatures could have a name change before they are finalized, so I am not ruling that out. A few of them are pretty concrete, but most may be subject to renaming. You know Rabbit, I had thought about how best to utilize the Poseidonal's size and massive bulk as a...

    Reviewing, Revising, and Finalizing Prehistoric Animals and Dinosaur Ecology

    Fictional critters go to the Phantasy Prehistorium homebrew forum for creative liberties on the prehistoric theme. This one will be only for reviewing and revising stats for real-history creatures, many of which have already been drafted but not finished or reviewed for balance. I will edit an...

    Dinopriminals and Phantasy Prehistorium (Nym/Omarka)

    I was ruminating on the following variations: Triceranal, Triceradal, Tricerapal, Tricerapsal, Tricerotal, Ceratonal, Ceratopsal, Ceranal Listen to them out loud and consider. Maybe GrayLinnorm could also opinionate. I'm unsure, both specifically about your suggestion, as well as which of all...
