Ineffable Wingbolt Upon Mars. Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Do you think putting in lions and tigers would be kind of good in A3 do you agree? And as it continues what about putting croks? http://www.aust.co.il/images/Pics/Animals/Crock.jpg Cirkey that crock got me arm off !!!

Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 No, on the grounds that: A3 is already completed, and it would be more hassle than it's worth to put such creatures in. There really wouldn't be any purpose to having them in there. A3 already has goblin, wolves, worgs, and a few other wild animals. Essentially, the position has already been filled. It mildly clashes with the story, which is that most dangerous animals have already been eradicated. They would only be a distraction from the story. Besides, you slay enough beasties in this. You don't need to randomly add more to the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Hm... those sound more useful for BoA scenarios set in remote areas of Ermarian, like the largely-undefined Vantanas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 There were tigers in Canopy, if I remember correctly. But there's plenty of giant reptiles already in existence; crocodiles just aren't necessary. Besides, finding a group of them wandering about isn't very realistic and they would probably be used that way. Would Dikiyoba say this if the question was about dinosaurs instead of crocodiles? It would be tempting, but the answer would still be no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but dinosaurs in a fantasy setting are not something I enjoy. That, and my instinctive dislike of any creature that has a Swallow Whole ability. By Thuryl: Quote: Yes.

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 What is a crocolisk? Just a different kind of basilisk, or was it more like a crocodile?

Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Sorry, Diki, that post was poorly written. I was disagreeing with your statement that dinosaurs in a fantasy setting would be tempting in the least. The crocolisk is a relative of the basilisk? Come to think of it, I don't recall ever getting hit by one in A4.

I was disagreeing with your statement that dinosaurs in a fantasy setting would be tempting in the least. But you don't have strange obsession with dinosaurs. I was just making sure I wasn't biased against crocodiles somehow. Originally by upon mars: Quote: If big felines exist in A3 why aren't they all over the place? Well, because Rakshasi are always rare and the nephilim have been mostly rounded up and dumped in Avernum. Although since Dikiyoba plays A3 with nephilim in the party, "big felines" technically do go all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 If big felines exist on Earth, why aren't they all over the place? —Alorael, who certainly thinks lions and tigers and bears count as big.

Ineffable Wingbolt Upon Mars. Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 Big felines have been on earth up until the first world war cause people invented nasty weapons, guns but in A3 there is no confirmation of the dissemination of the felines.

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Wolves may be extinct everywhere by Valorim, and tigers and lions may be extinct in the only areas to which they're native. I'd guess not, but it's possible. They're scary, but they're also majestic enough that there's almost certainly some zoo or preserve somewhere so that the Empire's finest can gawk at big cats. —Alorael, who is pretty sure goblins aren't extinct because they, like roaches, can and will survive anything. They also may spontaneously generate from moldy meat and/or unattended caves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Goblins always survive. Play Nethergate to see why. The other animals may not be native to the areas that we get to see. The Empire is pretty good about eliminating what it considers undesireables.
