[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 2377312, member: 6562"] Well, here's the question: do you want to nerf the heck out of Rangers, Druids, and Clerics, Sorcs & Wizs who like to Summon? If not: you need a variety of animals. Do you want to hurt Rangers? If not: you need a variety of foes of each type. Do you want to hurt Clerics? If not: you need a variety of undead. Do you want to inspire wonder and dread? If so: you need a bunch of *unique* monsters. Critters that won't be seen often. Can I write your setting? If so, I can give you rich color with a limited monster palette. If not, I've got to pick critters that fill every niche, and let the GM who actually crafts the setting pick which niches exist. So, tell me what your setting is, and I can give you a cross-section of critters that will fit. Alternately -- and this could become MORE work for a GM, but better practice for high-level stuff too -- I could write a set of "generic" critters, like Aberrations, Dragons, Undead, Vermin and Fiends. That would be technically *one* critter each, but with an unlimited number of "builds". So, what's the setting that these critters must fill in? -- N [/QUOTE]
