Hey guys!
I'm updating the Namegivers from the Theran Empire Sourcebook for 4th Edition for use in my own campaign.
Here is a link for you to see the conversions and the artwork was done by my wife who is a tattooist and freelance artist.
I'll update this post as the material is completed.
Enjoy!

Jackalmen don't bite with their tails (there's a typo in the Maneuver you've listed). I don't have the Theran Empire book on me, so is there a reason you gave them a Bite version of Tail Attack instead of Grab and Bite?

Str+4 seems high for a bite.

Hey guys.
Yeah the tail thing was a typo, so I've corrected that. I'm not familiar with the Grab and Bite move where is that listed?
If it involves grappling the opponent first before being able to bite then I won't be using it personally. Wolves and dogs are quite capable of delivering powerful bites without needing to worry about grappling first.
I did think the +4 Step Damage seemed high, but that's how it is written in Theran Empire p.169 and I saw no need to change it.

If you want to use the creature ability from the GM's Guide for the Jackalmen, then you're welcome to do so and it certainly works.
As written it's simply an unarmed attack like the T'skrang tail attack.

Does anyone know what the official Line from Fasa is going to be with more Name Giver Races? I know the tie in is not official anymore but I always thought it funny that Shadowrun at the beginning of their world had more name giver races than Earthdawn at the middle of theirs?
