Okay... how to start this... I have compiled a list of animal attributes, consulted various sage individuals and studied my butt off, lo, these many days... Now I have to bring it all together into a cohesive plan for writing animals. Hopefully, it evolves into a nice HERO "Meta-system" for creating bestiaries. Some of the source material uses random tables to better simulate the evolution of critters. Others, myself included, prefer a top-down approach to animal design. I draw a sketch, look at it, and do a character sheet. How does HERO-dom feel about randomization? I've always thought HERO players were fairly deterministic in outlook. Are tables more or less work? Would decent balanced tables that give "realistic" results be a welcome thing in your big GM binder o' stuff? Most likely, I'll include the tables and the power constructs in the paper to ease the use of both methods. There will be a short table on "Common Animal Spells" and "Common Animal Psi-Powers" for those who want to use them, but they won't be a part of the "Required" sections. BTW The tables will probably be pretty useful for Star HERO as well... And anyone who writes a program from it will recieve Rep-For-Life from me.

Re: ...and the Bird you rode in on... Competition... you mean as in ecological competition or "competition for your favorite animal" or what? I'm having a bad moment... chemical imbalance or something.

Here's a Caleon Item I'm thinking about adding to my game. They're based loosely on the Hearthstones of World of Warcraft. Townstone: Teleportation 1", No Relative Velocity, MegaScale (1" = 100,000 km; +1 1/2) (30 Active Points); 1 Charge which Recovers every 1 Week (-2 1/2), OAF (Townstone; -1), Can Only Teleport To Chalkcliff (-1) Real Cost: 5 ...And most major cities have folks who make these. Now, Chalkcliff has a large crystal structure hidden below it that only allows a certain breed of winged feline to teleport in or out. This stone actually takes you just outside the city, usually to a bar or other touristy spot. "Well, we could go on to the city, but let's stop and look at the world's largest suit of chainmail...it's only 3 coppers..." Would you (or do you) use such a thing?

Re: Still walkin' the beat, 25,000 years later... Good Questions, all of them. They have the fantasy equivalent of programming. However, being magical programming, and under the control of whimisical beings such as FH GMs, it might be prone to tampering, to magical accidents or whatever nonsense is required for a good evenings fun... My group's run-in with a modified Herdstone is approaching. I intend that it be twisted be hope of recovery. In Caleon, you can use Mind Control, etc on such things by taking the "machine class of minds" adder. As to whether they can be destroyed by a single great attack... it would take a lot. You'd have to do 15 BODY. That 15 would have to take into account 8 rPD (or 8rED) and the 25% rDR. So maybe ((31 points of BODY x .75)-8) would kill it outright. Assuming a roll of 4 on a die, you'd need 8d6-1 RKA of some kind. That's what? 116 active points? I don't know where you're gonna get something that big... maybe another Dharzooni weapon?

The rune pulses when the Herdstone speaks and is the source of their heat ray attacks. Personality: Herdstones have appeared from time to time to enforce order. The question remains, whose order? It is thought they were servants of the original Dharzooni Masters who have gone rogue or malfunctioned. Some behave rationally, learning local laws and enforcing them peacefully. Others have evolved into power-mad dictators. Quote:"You are in violation of local codes of conduct. Report your actions to the constabulary or I shall have to disable you and deliver you to them myself." (or just as often) "This area is now under my control. All things of flesh must cede to my will or be destroyed."Background: Unknown. The fact that the Herdstones speak modern languages, as well as ancient tongues suggest they are either given new abilites by their (presumably long-lived) creators or are capable of learning. The symbols engraved into their "front surface" are Dharzooni letters. What they might mean is unknown. It is perhaps a ranking system or just a way of keep track of them. Powers/Tactics: They usually warn you first, then actually blast you with their heat rays. They have never been observed attacking by surprise.Campaign Use: Herdstones, both the "good" and "bad" flavors are meant to give a mysterious air to the ancient civilizations of your campaign. Were they created to provide a simple police force, or is something more sinister going on? If you increase their number over time, perhaps they are a way of ensuring the rule of the ancients long after they have faded from the world.
