[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 5658628, member: 92511"] Alright...so here...we have an attempt at utilizing the categories as suggested above...there are are few, mostly very common/basic creatures, that defy categories. I did add in all 10 (5 chromatics, 5 metallics) dragons. Added in aquatic elves. But took Spectre and Vampire out of the undead listing...figuring they really are pretty tough critters for a starter kit. Yes, I know. I know, dragons are tough critters too. But they're...well, they're dragons! Kinda have to have them in there. Interesting that this breakdown actually gives us 101 individual entries! haha.
