Doesn't say it can increase over max, it says it increases it's HPV. You
can still bicker if it is some kind of healing or if it is a permanent
increase. I would say it is some healing power, like leeching.

Which animals for example? They all seem to have bonuses if their stats
call for them.

Seems to be the case AHP=30, vortex radius is HPV/5 hexes. That's one large
swirling mass of bodies (ah, that is body parts).

>     4.  Bouba - Is it me or is this a silly creature?
I don't know from which school of myth this stems, but it seems a very GM
friendly creature. Once it atttacks it will fight to the death. Saves a lot
of time thinking of monster motivation.

They are not invisible, they can hide between foliage. Somewhat like an
elf's hide in forest skill, but with better success chance.

Maybe they only live in the undergrowth of dense forests? OR it is the same
thing as with dragon blood in medieval german myth. That had magical powers
also, unless at any time it was spilled to the earth.

Dex in P&P is how well you can handle your limbs, mainly hands. Agility is
handling of the body. Snakes lack hands, i.e. no dexterity applies. They do
have agility, so are not immobile.

See page 17, section 4, description fo DCV. And yes, 5 on the ground and 10
is for flying. Applies for lots of monsters.

Think that one is correct, 2D100

It's not under elements, this is the weapon table under elves. It states
that they use different skills for elven weapons.

Doesn't say indeed. I would probably rule native.

Would say the same as the telep. power, M5E5

Light and Radiant Light should dispell the ghost under the exact wording of
the creature and spell descriptions.
Ghosts are not afflicted by light, so these spells do no damage. They are
dispelled by forms of magical light that do no damage, i.e. those spells
should do the trick.

Why would it even need a HC, it will never by damaged 24 hours after a
fight. It will either regenerate within one phase, or it will be dead.

Seems so.

If your stamina is less than 48 you must have Horsemanship EL 12 or
greater. If your stamina is 48 or greater you can master the beast with an
EL 6 HMS.

It is 3 actually, see the p&p website, rules, errata. Also for some other
monsters and lots of DCV values.

p&p website, rules, combat, misc. throwing weapons
