Creature Descriptions
Every Creature will consist of a set of descriptions, which are outlined here.
Because each individual is unique, the ST should realize that the statistics and descriptions serve only as a guideline for quick reference -- they are averages only. Modifications can and should be made.
Remember that these are living creatures with survival instincts. Few will senselessly throw themselves to their deaths. If a creature is badly injured it will often flee or back away, and intelligent creatures will often negotiate in preference to fighting.
Information on Damage Points, Defense, Reaction, Weapons, Armor Rating, and Number of Attacks can be found under Combat.
The Appearance and Description will not only tell you what the creatures look like, but will give relevant information about their habits, habitat, desires, special abilities, magic use, and so on.
