[QUOTE="Errant, post: 2175636, member: 1926"] Wow, Very nice supplement. I seriously considering using it, for the stats at the very least (although I haven't tracked down slaad stats yet). I will at least be changing the 'look' of the aliens as I don't want the players to be toooo sure of what they're dealing with. I want them to feel like their stuck in an Aliens movie but still be unsure of some of what to expect. Like I said, I do want it to 'feel' like Aliens, but I hear what you're saying. Hmmm, I'm now thinking of basing my Aliens on the Aliens: Game Over stats, but with the venom/guyver style parasitic biomorph I first described. The Egg/Spore psionically fascinates potential victims; the Face Hugger/Blob stuns them with a psionic blast & latches onto their neck, psionically pummelling them into unconsciousness while it implants itself in the back of their neck (ala Ga'oulds from Stargate); hours later a vile mass pours back out of the neck to coat & transform the victim's body, transforming the victim into a Drone/Possessed... How does that sound? This mixes in elements of a couple of movies, hopefully creating a tense creepy atmosphere, but with enough difference to make the players unsure exactly what to expect. Plus, if the victim becomes a host for the creature (instead a corpse left behind by a Chest Burster), there's a glimmer of hope that the victim [I]might [/I] be saved [I]if [/I] the parasite can just be forced to abandon it. I'll have to work on the names though. Not sure Spore, Blob, & Possessed quite fit. I've got no idea what to call the race either. I think you found my queen stats Jack. :] [/QUOTE]
