[QUOTE="buzz, post: 3237842, member: 6777"] (Tangent alert.) You know, I love Paizo. LOVE, I say. But am I alone in not really caring much for the "Ecology..." articles? I mean, they aren't badly written or anything, but sometimes the "scientificness" puts me off. I remember the Rakshasa article going into detail about their young.
