<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><<Comment
on the Stat chart is relevant. I will consider adding more stats to </span></font><br>
<font size=2><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>it. Were left out for monsters
because, at the time, I felt the addition of </span></font><br>
<font size=2><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>more than the base minimum needed
to use them in an encounter was an </span></font><br>
<font size=2><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>unneeded complication. At the point
was getting static about the game being </span></font><br>
<font size=2><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>too complex so looked for ways to
tweak it toward simple a little.>></span></font> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>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</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>In
honesty, for creatures you can simplify. You really need little more than
SB, </span></font><st1:place><st1:City><font size=2><span style='font-size:
10.0pt'>StB</span></font></st1:City><font size=2><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>,

size=2><span style='font-size:10.0pt'> 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.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>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).</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
