If you get an oportunity, check out GURPS Monsters. This description is exactly what that book is. It is a very good book (and I do not just say that because I wrote one of the creatures in it...)

I see your point, and to an extent I agree with it. However, just to keep things into the skeletal mode... If I raise and animate the skeleton of a dead rat, or a dog, or a man, or a minotaur or a dragon, or a titan or what have you -- should all of these have the same basic stats? If your...

True. Hense, my call for several 'typical' pre-worked samples of the template in action. In other words, you have the Zombie template; in that template is a worked example of a typical human zombie -- that would (lo and behold) match the current zombie listing. Perhaps I didn;t think my original...

I disagree; see below. That depends on how you see skeletal animation. For example, do you recall the Skeletal Warrior of the old AD&D days? According to the description, the only difference between a skeleton and a skeletal warrior, is the fact that the skeleton was 1st to 5th level when it...

I have been thinking about this for a while now... several things in the monster manual need to be changed in some way to make sense. I am not talking about changes like the animal / beast / magical beast classification stuff, but in the way the book is organized and such. For example: In my...

Has anyone registered ENWorld as a handle?

Wow. Missed that one. Thanks for the clarification!

As I state in the poll... My preference would be for the Beast->Magical Beast progression, or for the Animal->Beast progression.

Seems odd to have Animals and Magical Beasts, but no ordinary beasts. So, I would like to see one of three things happen here: Drop Animal. What are currently animals and beasts become Beasts; Magical beasts remain Magical Beasts. Drop Beast, rename Magical Beasts to Magical Animals. What are...

Good point. So let me see if I have this right... under D&D3.0: T-Rex would be a beast Laviathan would be an animal A 60-ft long vegetarian lizard would be a beast A speaking, devil-tongued serpent would be an animal I am to assume that we can all agree that Grigori would be Giants then...

Not just you, my friend. Not just you.

I used to play Trade Wars 2002 and Solar Realms Elite back when I was in San Diego. I would love to find an internet version of Solar Realms Elite -- that was a blast!

If I am not mistaken, such a thing is not supposed to be published, outside of the core rulebooks. Granted, in an OGL sense, one could create one if they wished, but I do believe it violates the intent and spirit of the d20 license to publish such a thing. I am not saying it cannot be found...

I thought LotR:tTT laid this one to rest? ;)

Yea; I knew it was not on this incarnation of the boards (I searched...); thanks for checking though. :) I was just hoping that someone might have copied it. I had a copy, but when my computer crashed a while back, I lost a lot of that stuf. I had backed up most all of my 'important' thing...

Bump Just a bump (and the only one I will do -- promise!). Still looking for that old posting.

Happy GM's Day I would like to send a warm thanks out to Scott Harrington -- the individual that opened my eyes to a new world of imagination when he introduced me to Role Playing Games in 1977 -- he was my first GM. To Steve Pastieva (where ever you happen to be these days, my old friend) for...

Back a long time ago, before the current version of the message boards was a reality and before the last crash of my computer, I wrote a story hour post dealing with a very old campaign a firned of mine ran dealing with the relationship between Orcs and Elves. I have a friend that wants me to...

Well... although I had not purchased and had no intention of purchasing this book. You sir, have just earned yourself another sale. :)

Then where is the problem? Ah. But I fail to see that it was artificially ballooned. Consider this: If the original vision of the book was 270,000 words. Then, the author turned in a manuscript that accomplished this goal in 80,000 words and GR then said -- "Pad it. We want this to be a big...
