I'd like to help, but beyond catching a few glimpses of the show here or there I never watched it.  Seemed alright, struck me as similar to some of the others that were on such as Kim Possible or that other one with the three chicks.  The first season is available here.  It's the Canadian Chapters site.  Wish I could help better than that.

[New Qualities]

Wait a second while I rummage through some files.

Ah, here we are...

DI NPC & Creature Conversions

New Qualities

Abyssal Type (+1 XP): The creature is either from or intimately tied to the Abyss, the micro-universe prison from which daemonic creatures and the Daemonhost arise.  Spells or effects that target “Outsiders” affect creatures with this quality.  The creature may also be considered a standard NPC for the purposes of determining which qualities can be applied.

Blindsight (+5 XP): The animal or creature does not require light to sense its surroundings.  It suffers no penalties due to poor or no light and the animal ignores a target opponent’s concealment bonuses to Defense.  An animal’s blindsight is measured in feet.  While blindsight allows an animal to infallibly sense invisible creatures, it does not sense immaterial ones.

Blur (+25 XP): A light-warping effect continually surrounds the animal or creature, making it difficult to discern its true location.  Any melee or ranged attack directed at it, including spells or other powers that require a touch attack, has a 50% miss chance unless the attacker can locate the beast by some means other than sight (e.g. Blindsight).

Immunity (+15XP): The animal is completely immune to specific forms of damage, which are listed in parentheses after the special quality.

Magical Beast Type (+1 XP): This animal is aligned with the Ethereal and may have supernatural abilities, although it may appear to be a normal animal.  An animal with this quality has an Intelligence score that starts at 10 as per normal NPCs.  The creature may also be considered a standard NPC for the purposes of determining which qualities can be applied.

Ethereal Sight (+5 XP): The animal can clearly see invisible and immaterial creatures.  Conditions and effects that affect vision itself, such as the spell darkness, will still affect the animal.

Phobia (-3 XP): The animal has a nearly irrepressible fear, which is noted in the animal’s description.  When confronted with the object of the fear, the animal must make a Will save (DC 10 + ½ TL) or flee as quickly as it can.  If unable to flee, the animal is under the effect of Shaken I for the remainder of the encounter or until the source of the fear is removed.  On a successful save, the animal overcomes the fear and can approach the source or otherwise act without penalty.  The shaken condition adds to any levels gained from stress damage.

Regenerate (+3 XP per point): The animal regenerates standard damage at an increased rate.  The number in parentheses after this quality determines how many points of vitality are regained on its initiative every round.  Over time the animal can even regrow limbs and organs.  The animal has regenerated all of itself once all vitality and wounds have been healed.

Spell-Like Ability (3 XP per spell level + 5XP per additional use per session): The creature gains the use of the spell purchased.  Each spell may be used once per session unless more uses are paid for.

Spell Resistance (+5 XP for a base of 10 +2 XP per point afterward): A creature with spell resistance can avoid the effects of spells and spell-like abilities that directly affect it.  To determine if a spell or spell-like ability works against a creature with spell resistance, the caster must make an Arcane Craft power check (1d20 + caster level).  If the result equals or exceeds the creature’s spell resistance, the spell works normally, although the creature is still allowed a saving throw if applicable.

These were done a long time ago before such nuggets as the channeler and such came out so they are pretty rough.  Haven't looked at them for a long time, but they may be helpful.

Some work on the hybrids is here.

Yes, many of them were fudged since it was felt that some shouldn't confer XP or should confer less XP.  The XP amounts really amount to just guidelines.  Also, some may be legitimately off as I was just getting a handle on the NPC system.

Are all the dinosaur stats located in one location? ... Or do I have to print out the entire thread to get them copied?

All my stats are either here on the second page and in the document mentioned.  I haven't created any others.

Huh.  I was just looking for this.

- C.

Long time no see, dude.  Nice to see you.

I found your motorcycle here.

Ah, another one.  Although I am surprised.  I chose very close on how close I like to be and ended up with a sniper weapon.

My Results:


M107 You like being very, and I mean very far away from combat.  You are very smart and intelligent.  You can be used for anti-personnel or anti-vehicle situations.  You like fist sized holes in mostly anything.

Hmm, interesting.

I'm giddy now...

Shirley Manson (Garbage front gal) has been casted for the Sarah Conner Chronicles as the CEO of a high-tech firm.

If you haven't seen it, the premiere episode to the new season played last night and Shirley Manson was in it...

(click to show/hide)

Her role as a CEO is reminiscent of the infiltrator character of SM Stirling's Terminator books.  Only she is another T-1000.

All in all it was a good episode if a bit choppy in the beginning.  I think that has a lot ot do with playing catch up after the strike last season.  I'm just happy to see it back.

I haven't seen it (heard good things from a friend, though), but I like the fact that one of the actors (Hugh Dillon) is a hometown boy from Kingston.

I don't know if it is set in a Canadian city, but it is shot in Toronto.  It is a Canadian made series with a majority of Canadian actors (and the Pink Power Ranger).  Production values have dramatically increased over the last few years on many series.  Not to mention many Canadian shows are being made to be shown in more places than Canada.  Corner Gas, The Border, Little Mosque on the Prairie, Trailer Park Boys; they are all being made with an eye towards international appeal.

[Gray Blades (Standard NPC — 143 XP):]

Here's one from my Minions, Inc. thread.  It's an adaption of the Gray Blades from the Archer Foundation book.

Gray Blades (Standard NPC — 143 XP): Init X; Atk VII; Def VII; Resilience VII; Damage Save: VII; Competence: V; Skills: Acrobatics V, Poltergeist IX, Sneak X; SZ M; Spd 35 ft.; Wealth: None; Weapons: Caliber III-Long knife (Upgrades-deadly precision, razor sharp); Gear: None; Vehicle: None; Qualities: Fearsome, feat (Telekinetic Basics), from beyond II,  luminous III, natural attack (Slam II), ooze, superior attributes (Dex 12, Wis 14, Cha 14), synchronized, tough (1 save), treacherous, undead.

Also, this may be better served down in the License to Improvise forum.  If someone could move it that would be great.  Thanks.

Best thing I ever did (after marrying my wife, if she's looking over my shoulder) was to become a father.  My son is my Mini-Me.

Yeah, saw the trailer.  Really hasn't done anything for me, though.

Heh, heh.  I've been wearing glasses since I was about 8.  Missing various teeth for various reasons.  And already had a toe amputated due to a chronic infection, which, in retrospect, was due to my undiagnosed (at the time) diabetes.  The only reason I got my blood sugar checked was at my wife's urging after she saw a psychic who told her to have me checked for diabetes.  She still waves that one at me whenever I scoff at all the psychic stuff she watches.
