[PnP] Lions, tigers and bears oh my!

[Choinski, Burton]

Well, very few of the creatures/monsters listed in the v2 books have any sort of terrain indication, so as I go through the entries and mark down notes in my excel sheet I'm having to make my best guess.  For the animals it's pretty clear since I can draw upon Earth equivalents.  Monsters and contact-level entities are trickier.  

I'm using a relatively simple formula to determine "shares" -- 3/(SIZE+1), multiplied by a factor based on type: Carnivore x1, herbivore x10, NA x1/2, all others x2, all fractions rounded to the nearest, and a minimum of 1.

Once all the shares are found, the program will choose a random number from 1 to (total shares) in order to choose the creature.

For CL creatures, their shares go into a block that has it's own picker where the number of shares is inversely related to the CL (i.e. lower CL is more common).

I have done animals and balance, working on chaos now.  When all entries are in I'll go back over the book 3 tables and correct the encounter terrains for existing creatures. Once complete I have to update the postscript program and I'll release it.

Great.  Make me do all the work. :}

May take some time to fit into my schedule.  We all know how things we want to do get shelved by things we have to do. :P

Love to see the results.  Like I say I'll be doing my own soon with the sea creatures I cam up recently and such.

Thanks.
