What's the possibility 09/08/2003 03:39 PM CDT

Of a new up-to-date bestiary coming out any time soon? I mean, the godlings (DM's) have the info and it would seriously help up-and-coming adventured keep what few favors they have...

I realize the beasts change from time to time, and with that change comes (usually) a more difficult level ... it's just odd to me that with today?s technology an interactive database containing the creatures' stats translated into "Levels" can't be created to simultaneously update when a change to the main system is made. Even if a few people have to hand-load it into the database... I mean, how often are all beats in the realms tweaked simultaneously?

Just curious? It may be a huge job in the beginning but if done right the overall long-term maintenance would be minimal,

Highly unlikely. We've been complaing for A) GM responce and B) update to the levels there for a good long time. Have gotten neither. Instead, they just keep adding new creatures. Genius I tell you, bloody hell genius.

Perhaps we're not asking LOUD ENOUGH!!! ::smirk::

Ah well... start at a guild-specific godling and see if we can start a spark... who knows, eh?

Well, it's been about threre months, and I don't see any answers... is the Bestiary just a relic? Will it ever be updated? - Dredded DeCaen

Right now the Bestiary is just a museum piece- a relic as you aptly name it. GM Damissak was going to update it, but that idea went flying out the window. So I'm not really sure who will try it now.

Since the GMs are more or less busy, perhaps one of us Lesser Beings could attempt the task of catagorizing the critters? Not me: I don't really have the brain power for that. But there are a lot of you out there who are really great at organizing information and testing things inside out!

IF i ever spent time figuring out how to set it up on my website I would, but I'm too busy playing to work on it ;-)

For now though, this is how I'd have them catergorized.

Crittername

Skinnable?

Approx level*

Stabbable?

Undead?

Magical/special attacks?

Locations

*Approx level would be:

1 teaches 1-49 ranks
2 50-99
3 100-149
4 150-199
5 200-249
6 250-299
7 300-349
8 350-399
9 400-449
10 450+

Some would be lower or higher within their categories, but still would fit. So, 3 critters for example would be:

shiprat	yes	1	no	no	no	shipyard-C/saltyard-R

viper	yes	3,4	no	no	poison-spit	wilderness n of kaerna

deathspirit	no	4,5	yes	Yes	no	dunshade-r,under MMguild-C,Thru mist n of Leth deriel,4th tier ratha

~Weak of arm,crazy roar;

leave em dead,stabbed some more;
lost your coins,on the floor;
greetings!now you're out the door~
