Here's this week's preview, courtesy of R.S. Tilton, a look at the work he has been doing on creatures.

Thanks for the update! Nice to see that you're addressing some of the... oddities... in the stats of many of the mundane creatures in previous editions. Having some templates to add looks good, too, and the behavior entries will be useful. Maybe you could add a habitat entry to the statblock, as well?

Hey Freebooter, in general habitats have traditionally appeared in the body of the descriptive text. I'll talk over it with Josh, it possible that having a habitat listing which is less words might be desirable in the digest format.

Looks good. I like some of the mechanics I see there.

I'm liking this approach.

One thing that bugged me was unique powers listed in the section with more generic powers - lots of things have leaping (although I would rather it were simply called leaping to avoid confusion with the talent, but that's a quibble), but only one thing bogs gobs, and there is no reason why the reader should have to flip to another area to find it. That red temple terror karma power is cool. Feels a little Conan the Barbarian.

Hi. I like the legendary/named creatures and how they scale from normal versions. I like the ease of use to make new critters or scale them. I'd like to see a new fantastical critter as I feel apes are . . . well . . . apes.

Also I noticed some repetition of words and inconsistencies in spelling for "troop," troupe vs troop. Regardless, I like what I saw.

Hi! It's looks like great. Just one question. Will you make conversion from single creature to pack of creatures? Sometimes it'd be very useful, and the combat'd be more faster and easier. Thanks

Kuraneko - great question!

Not too many comments to make at this time, the sample isn't large enough.

Not a fan of the Silverback having a lower PD than the normal apes.
