Very quiet list

||     But who would want to play a duck?  Maybe I'm missing something
as I've
|| not seen any info on them but other than the obvious (I guess)
swimming
|| advantage what else is there about them?  The only place I figure I
might play
|| a Duck is in the game of Toon :).

Well, after some thought I chucked the ducks.  They were carried over at
the suggestion of one player, but
there are very few places in the lands where they could actually
live...most cultures would most likely just
eat them. :)

||     Still it makes sense..a good sized gorilla in real life can tear
up a
|| human if they wanted to.  they tend to be 2-4x stronger than humans.
||
||     You could use a size factor to help things.

I'm not complaining -- it makes wading into combat with large creatures
a real hazard, and dragons are
truely a terror.

||     hehe...  The thing with apes though is the encounter motive.
Apes don't
|| tend to scare and attack humans unless they are provoked..so was
there a good
|| motive?  If not then you could just have them run off.  Its not like
in the
|| jungle where it would be a predator-prey situation.  In the open road
that's
|| slightly different.

They were Great Apes, not just gorillas.  I still have to convert
creatures into RQ stats.

||     Something to work on as well for the list might be some
castle/building
|| information.  But pnp deals with some of that already...

It deals very little with it, though.  I try and get my notes out this
week.
