[QUOTE="Knight Otu, post: 1831718, member: 192"] Yes, but... ;) I'd change a lot of details. [list=1] [*]Drop the [b]Giant [/b]type, and rearrange the creatures among fitting types. Giant may become a kind subtype (see below). [*]Rename the [b]Outsider [/b]type to [b]Entity[/b]. This name seems to fit the concept of the type better. [*]Give better guidelines for [b]differenciating Humanoids [/b]and [b]Monstrous Humanoids[/b], propably along the lines of several (3+) natural attacks, presence of supernatural abilities, not quite humanoid body shape (tauric, six-limbed [such as wings and arms], ...), many special abilities, ability scores beyond a certain boundary... [*]You know how humanoids have a humanoid subtype? I'd expand that to pretty much all creature types, as seperate [b]kind subtypes[/b], with the possibility of subkinds. Demon would be a kind, Demon-Tanar'ri a subkind. Horses, unicorns and nightmares would all be Equines. That sort of thing. [*][b]Undead [/b]would get (at least) [b]Positive [/b]and [b]Negative [/b]subtypes to note what powers them (and consequently, deathless would become undead). [*]I can't help but think that the [b]Living [/b]subtype might be interesting for [b]Vampires [/b]and similar Undead. [/list] Possibly a few more things. I wouldn't favor the return of Beasts, as they are in a similar situations as Giants. [/QUOTE]
