It looks like there'll be some inspiring creatures in OVA Fantasy, so I was going through some video game sprite haunts for inspiration in spawning mostly atypical creatures that I could use in the meantime. I'll probably use this in a Disgaea/Pokemon cross game (bind the monster, blow up other demonic trainers). I'm wondering how many other people run games with lots of monsters in them...or would like to share any.

I made poisonous bites a weapon pairing with a special attack so you can bite androids but the special attack (if you try to use it) won't work, and the poison could be more damaging than the bite.

I only put Strange Appearance on ones that could pass as human otherwise. Weapon DTs include the base 1 attack dmg they add to; they do NOT keep in mind bonuses or penalties outside of the attack (Strong, Weak, etc.). The point value is in {}s.

Nice work. Thanks for posting it. My lazy ass will probably plunder it.

Finally had time to look through 'em and they look great! One important thing to note, though: Weapon adds to the default DT of 1, so a Weapon +2 has a DT of 3.

Also, with continuing damage, I was under the impression that the damage done was based off of the first hit; the damage was based on actual damage done, not DT of the attack. Clay, could you clarify this for us?

Other than that, they look great!! Keep up the good work!!

TBP

I love feedback! You're probably right on both accounts, tho' I'd love to hear from Clay or anyone else who's more familiar than I with the rules.
