Re: Star Frontiers Bestiary Here is the creature I like the least because it seems too stupid. Thought about just giving him wide feet but decided that I needed to be faithful to the concept. Luckily the text never really describe their "rear defense" of shard grass projectile. If I was to venture forth I suppose I would write it up as an explosion cone 1d6k 1 charge that would take x number of turns to recharge.

This organ is actually a huge, cylindrical, hide-covered mass of bane and cartilage attached to two frontal limbs by ball and socket joints. The organ is used to crush the shard grass on which the creature feeds. The mouth of the roller is located on its underside. The crushed shards from the digestible shoots of grass are sucked up into this mouth. Internal organs of the creature separate the glass-like shards from the digestible shoots of grass. The indigestible shards are then stored in a special organ and used as missile weapons for the creature's rear defense. The roller has four normal limbs used for locomotion. The two eyes of the creature are located on the head near the large ears. The head does not have a mouth. A roller has a thick hide that protects it from being cut by shard grass. Rollers are generally docile creatures, and will not attack unless frightened or attacked themselves. They are usually found grazing on the grassy plains of Volturnus in herds of 5 to 50. If a roller scores a successful hit upon a character, the victim must roll his Reaction Speed or less. If the roll is successful, the roller attack is avoided; if not, the unfortunate character suffers 8-80 points of damage. (Note: if avoiding the roller means flinging oneself into the shard grass, the usual 1-10 points of damage will be taken.)

Disadvantage 15 Physical Limitation: Animal Intelligence (Frequently, Greatly Impairing) Disadvantage Points: 15 Base Points: 200 Experience Required: 0 Total Experience Available: 0 Experience Unspent: 0 DESCRIPTION: Queequegs have barrel-shaped bodies with three jointed legs arranged like a tripod, and three eyes spaced evenly around the body so it can see all directions at once. They have a hard exoskeleton that matches the color of the plants where they live, providing a natural camouflage. Its mouth is in its underbelly, surrounded by small tentacles. A single 5-meter-long tentacle grows from the top of the body. The long tentacle tapers to a point with a razor-sharp barb. The queequeg attacks by whipping this tentacle at its prey like a harpoon. Once the tentacle hits a target the sharp barb makes it difficult to pull out. The queequeg then pulls the victim to its mouth in one turn, and holds the prey with the filaments while devouring it. A character that is being eaten automatically takes 2d10 points of damage each turn until rescued. The victim can not fight back once he is held in the small tentacles. If characters attack the harpoon tentacle and cause 20 points of damage, the tentacle is severed. The hard exoskeleton is very effective defense against physical damage. In game terms, it acts as a skeinsuit against all non-energy damage (reducing all incoming attack damage by one half).[\font]

Re: Star Frontiers Bestiary I changed the attack for the dropper and made it cause less damage and delayed its affect. Currently, I believe I am going to handle the SF conversion by not having any armor (at least for volturnus). The skein suits and shields will be damage reduction. That being the case I thought my initial damage was a bit high both for game balance and for realism. The SF write up states that the droppers "grab" the victims, however I thought that simple clinging fit better with the concept. Your thoughts? -------------------------------------------------------------------- 16 "Sticky digestive acid": Killing Attack - Ranged 1/2d6, Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2), Damage Shield (Offensive; +3/4), Continuous (+1) (32 Active Points); Clothes stop the effects for 1 phase.

It is a flat, irregular blob up to 1 meter in diameter. The dropper inhabits cavern ceilings all over Volturnus, always ready to drop on any unsuspecting prey walking beneath it. When the dropper senses another creature approaching, it crops a tentacle-like pseudo-pod covered with a sticky digestive acid. If this pseudo-pod strikes the prey, the dropper falls onto the creature in the same turn and attempts to envelop it (treat as a grapple). The dropper then begins to digest the creature, releasing digestive acids that cause 2d10 damage every turn the victim fails to break the dropper's hold. The smell of this digestive acid will attract 2d10 more droppers to the area in 1d10 turns. Because of its amoeba-like body, projectile weapons will not affect the dropper. It is also immune to the effects of tangier grenades,. for it simply oozes out of the tangier strings. Since the dropper never sleeps (even if artificially stimulated), doze grenades will not' affect it, either. In addition, any person using a ranged weapon attacks at -10 due to the dropper's ability to blend with its natural) rock surroundings (droppers cannot even be seen from distances greater than 5 meters). Very bright light will cancel the effects oft the dropper's camouflage.

Re: Star Frontiers Bestiary I made some modifications. The writeup said it was 7 meters tall! The damage they gave did not line up with the size of the creature.

Re: Star Frontiers Bestiary How to I simulate the MUTATING FUNGUS? Here is the write-up DESCRIPTION: It is uncertain whether the mutating fungus is an animal, a plant, or a cancer, for it has aspects of all three. In outward appearance, it resembles a white, pasty fungus, yet it is capable of self-locomotion, creeping across small areas of land to attack its prey. Its attack form, however, resembles that of a cancer; replacing the normal, healthy cells of any creature with its own mushy cells. Any character who is exposed to the mutating fungus for eight hours or more, or who sleeps near it for any amount of time, will find a while, pasty growth covering parts of his body. If the character notices the presence of the fungus within three hours of its attack, he may treat the infected part of his body with antibody plus and counteract the effects of the fungus (though he will not tee protected from further attacks!. If the character is not treated within three hours, the infected body part must be amputated, or the character will be completely consumed by the fungus within three days. Any character exposed to a mutating fungus for three days without treatment will be transformed into a mutating fungus permanently. --------------------------------------------- I am thinking of doing a bit of hand wavium. But here are some thoughts 1. If the players are exposed for the minimum duration, roll 1d3 for the number of locations afflicted. 2. Use the hit location rule to determine affected limbs (in general, I am not planning on using hit locations in the game). 3. Apply a killing attack to each location and using the disable rules to determine when a limb needs amputating 4. Us a combination of CONTINUOUS and EXTRA TIME.

Re: Arsenic Thanks. Is there other goodies in that book that would make it worthwhile to purchase?

Re: Arsenic Yeah, I believe that half the wells are contaminated (random chance). I have Dark Champions and they discuss various poisons but never any specifics (STEEEEVVVEEE!!). The bad thing about arsenic poisoning is that it is not quite obvious what is happening. I suppose I could just do the dehydration effect but stretch it out over a week instead of 2 days.

How, in Hero game terms (heh), do i simulate arsenic? It will be in the drinking water of contaminated wells.
