[QUOTE="Voneth, post: 354565, member: 1016"] Feel free to contribute as well as take notes. :) I wasn't trying to say that you couldn't do a simlar concept in a fantasy setting. I was saying that to give a Space Fantasy game a more accurate feel to what you see on TV, then MM mosters -- even the tiny ones -- need to be more than just another speed bump on the party's way to their quest Now for your perusal, two thoughts on trolls. *"Have You Got Your Troller's Card" Working the unstable underwater mines of Ocean Base Atlatifc is hazardous, but mindless work. Which is why scrags are perfect miners, until they revolt. The authories are not going to let anyone leave until things calm down, a great idea until the scrags figure out how to sabatoge the base and start having water flood the PC's sector. -- No modification is needed on the scrags (page 180, second column, the MM aquatic varient of trolls). Heck! the PC may even support the revolution, the point is that the scrags have made the PCs life hell beyond just a combat scene. (edit: Part of the challenge in this scenario would be to halfway flood corridors so that scrags can keep their regeneration abilites.) *"Deja Vu And Who Are You?" You are all on a base in the Antartic, when you get the message you have to save a couple of Swedes at another base. :) -- Give the troll a "reproductive" cycle such as Curse of Lycanthropy or Create Spawn and speed up the victim's internal transformation time to only 6 or less hours while outward appearces into a Troll form still take 24 hours. Now your team can feel the parinoia of the movie franchise of "The Thing." [/QUOTE]
