Converting prehistoric creatures

[Cleon]

Looks good to me!

So we should be about done, then.

Now I'll be the first to admit that I failed my English Language O Level (which dates me for those aware of such things) but aren't you mixing tenses here?

Given as they are going to be creatures that encountered 'now' (unless some time travel, summoning from the pas etc. is involved) wouldn't it be best to stick with present tense?

Good point. I've updated all three to correct that.

Well, they are from prehistoric times, if temporal transfers weren't involved how do your modern PCs meet them?

I'd either add a "pride" group to all the saber-cats (speculative though it is) or remove the tactics bit mentioning prides from the cats that don't have a pride in their Organization.

Oh, and I would suggest a smaller lower end and possibly a wider range for the pride.

E.g. pride (3-6) or pride (3-12).

The pride modifications make sense.

As for the tenses, they are right now predators. But the big game they hunt used to be numerous but are around now only in smaller numbers. I think the mixed tenses are ok here.

Are you referring to all the pride modifications, or just a subset?

Quite, I see nothing wrong with it.

While I prefer my earlier phrasing, I would accept Shade's rewording if the "hunt mostly" became "mostly hunt".

Whew. Sorry I've been away so long guys, this year's been busy travel-wise for the office. Being sent away on two-week fieldworks plus attending seminars and workshops in and out-of-town. I'll take a look at the Smilodon and come back to you.

Welcome back!

We look about done with the sabre-cats, but I will welcome any feedback.

Consider it done.

 

[Cleon]

Consider it done.

So, would you like to wait for RavinRay or shall we contemplate the next beastie?

If there is a next beastie. We seem to be running low of archaeo-critters.
