[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6322249, member: 57383"] Well even someone nigh-infallible like I am occasionally lapses from self-consistency. ;) (I only do it to keep you on your toes, of course, :p). Since I strongly prefer the SRD toad approach and you don't seem to be too bothered, I think I'll add the Merfolk format Amphibious SQ to it just for the sake of clarity... ...Updating the [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?260747-Converting-quot-Real-World-quot-Animals-and-Vermin&p=6310588&viewfull=1#post6310588"][B]Rough-Skinned Newt Working Draft[/B][/URL]. I'm not quite decided on the Environment. The original has "Temperate Savannahs" while in real life they also like woodlands. How about making it "Temperate plains and forests"? Apart from that, we just need some flavour text. What think you of... [I]A tiny brownish salamander about as long as a human hand. It has granular skin and a bright yellow-orange belly.[/I] Rough-skinned newts are poisonous amphibians. The adults spend most of their time on dry land, but usually live close to the freshwater ponds and streams they use for breeding. These newts eat insect and worms much smaller than themselves. A typical rough-skinned newt is up to six inches long (half of which is tail) and weighs less than an ounce. [B]COMBAT[/B] A rough-skinned newt might bite an attacker in self defense but is more likely to hide. It mostly relies on its poison to protect itself. [/QUOTE]
