BobGreenwade Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Re: Lost Worlds Of Venezuela You'd have to separate the Racial and Cultural packages, and it probably needs a wee bit more fleshing-out, but overall I think it's a good starting point.

Susano Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Re: Lost Worlds Of Venezuela Speaking of Venezuela, take a look at this recently discovered cave. It's BIG! How big? See those little toys at the floor of the cave? Those are helicopters! http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20060222/sc_space/explorersdiscoverhugecaveandnewpoisonfrogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susano Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Re: Lost Worlds Of Venezuela Mike... that's the same cave. (Awesome photo, though.) Sorry... I mixed up this Lost World with the one discovered in.... Indonesia (EDIT: ahh... yes, New Guinea)? The plateau that was only reachable by choppers, IIRC.

JakSpade Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Re: Lost Worlds Of Venezuela Ah, I see what you mean... Let me see if I can break it up... Frog People of Venezuala (racial package) 1 +1 STR 6 +2 DEX 4 +2 CON 3 Immunity: poison dart frog 2 +1" Swimming (web hands/feet) 2 +2" Leaping (added on edit) 5 Ultravision or Nightvision (whichever fits better in caves) 7 Clinging, Costs End (-1/2) 30 pts Total Disadvantages: ?? Small in size 15 DF: Pale skin and eyes (Concealable with effort, always noticable) Frog Hunter (social package) 3 Stealth 3 Climbing 3 Tracking 3 Breakfall 3 Survival 2 AK: Local caves/area 2 WFAM: Common Melee or Common Missle 19 pts Total The Frog People of Venezuala are a hunter/gatherer race of people who sought refuge in large caves when some world cataclysm hit, shielding themselves from harm. Since their hiding, they have grown accustom to living underground, sometimes boring out large caves for their families to survive. The Frog People are small in small in stature, roughly 4' high, with pale skin, hair and eyes. They are a hearty people, though, spending a majority of their time underground, only exiting the caves at night to hunt and forage for food. Their exposure to a rare underground frog (which uses poison excreted from it's skin) has given them unusual abilities, such as web hands and feet allowing them to climb and swim very well. With those hands and feet, they are also able to sometimes cling to cave walls, tree branches and sides of cliffs. This gives them an advantage when hunting prey at night. Hunting groups consist of 4-6 hunters equipped with bows or spears. They will use their climbing and leaping abilities to trap and pounce on prey, using the bows to attack especially wiley animals. The Frog People are afraid of other races of man, but aren't afraid to defend their territory if they feel they have been threatened. They will mostly stay out of sight, and only come out when discovered. Jak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
