==Creating Organisms==

If a player wishes to be an insect that is unlisted, or engage with an organism that is unlisted, they may speak to their GM. (A GM may also use these guidelines to create other organisms.) Here are some general mechanical guidelines to this.

#The fourth tier is highly variable and has no set of guidelines for finding scores.
#Tiers 2 and 3 modify the tier 1 score. 
#Modifications to saves, the bonus need not be taken.
#Skills cannot exceed the maximum (only save bonuses will allow it to exceed). General skills begin with the indicated minimum, specialized begin with half minimum. Each species gets minx4 to allocate elsewhere. By penalizing a general skill by 2 points, one gains an additional point to allocate.
