Creating Creatures

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

Tier1	Health Class2				AC		Saves3	Skill Bonus4			Base Speed				Damage
	Low	Medium	High	Very High	Low	High		Max	Min	Allocate	Land	Fly	Swim	Burrow	Weak	Moderate	Strong

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. A negative skill of 2 to any general skill adds 1 more skill point that can be added to boost another.
