<P><FONT SIZE=2><<Comment on the Stat chart is relevant. I will consider adding more stats to </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>it. Were left out for monsters because, at the time, I felt the addition of </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>more than the base minimum needed to use them in an encounter was an </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>unneeded complication. At the point was getting static about the game being </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>too complex so looked for ways to tweak it toward simple a little.>></FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I don't think many more are really needed. I only added "C" for my DoW article because when you have hirelings you do need to keep track of such things as healing ability and the like. Since I needed a way to show the increasing capabilities of each grade of warrior, I added the C entry. PA was just fluff, in case you need your toops to portage out the booty. Pois is probably needed, though it's more likely that monsters will be poisoning, not characters</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>In honesty, for creatures you can simplify. You really need little more than SB, StB, AB and DB, but for the purposes of creature variation having the stats is nice. C "can" be extrapolated based on (AHP*4 - (S+St)), but if this is the method used to determine C you have to make sure all the other values that draw upon C use the same value. I think I might have found some disconnects when I did calculations way back when.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I would expect C to vary in a similar means to S and St, though perhaps not as extreme. Given how even "small" creatures like cats and rats have some hit points, I would think that the variation table for C is "u" shaped (slightly). So that as Creature variation tends to x2 (larger), con may vary upwards to x1.5 (1/5 the rate of increase). Likewise, as the creature tends to x0.5 (smaller) Con varies upwards to x1.25 (again, 1/2 the rate of change).</FONT></P>
