Nomad:
Sorry i meant lore as it's dictionary meaning not in game :(
seem to be making such mistakes a lot lately...

Deadmanwalking:
My Koala was...off. I've revised it a bit.

Otter and Giant Sea Turtle still to come.

Jeckel:
Saw this was about to fall onto page three, so thought I would give it a much deserved bump.

Timing of RP has been sporadic lately, but got a couple hours with the group a few days ago and did the big reveal of the Shetland Ponies and it was a huge hit. While describing the ponies I mentioned the farm up the street from me and the performances they put on for kids' birthday parties. Sure enough, within a few minutes they were organizing a little "wild west" show. The shaman sung a beautiful song, the wizard did some magic tricks, our gun fighter shot coins and fruit out of the air, my wild-man-of-the-desert character "fought" two wolves, and the farm owner made the costumes, did a martial arts demonstration, and did some acrobatic tricks on the wagon while it was being raced around by the ponies (she doesn't make most sessions, so we let her take the front seat for most of it). Both the opening, closing, and half-time acts were centered around the ponies running in different formations and doing various tricks (taught to them by the gun fighter/horse trainer character), as well as pulling a fancy wagon (designed by the group and build with help from an NPC) which was given extra flair and effects (like it being "consumed by flames" during the closing act) by the wizard/stage magician character.

We had so much fun that it seems the focus is going to center around the show for a while, so I'm going to have an NPC approach them for a real show in Australia. That should give me a chance to work in the kangaroo and I know that as soon as I mention Australia the farm owner is going to want to get her character a Koala, "there just so darn cute" I'm guessing will be the justification. :p Might try to work in a great white and some seals, and/or a komodo, if the opportunity presents itself.

I'm still using the crap out of these animals and I can tell you that at least two other GMs I know, who don't do the forum thing, are using them in there games and wish to give you major props. :)

ironchicken:
I was concerned at your cat having claws right at the front.

May I suggest you go "claws like razors" as an aspect and lose the power. This is mainly because the damage bonus counts and stacks with the size limitation. This means a cat with claws will do 2 damage with each hit not just 1 due to size. In addition the aspect "9 lives" springs to mind.

Deadmanwalking:
Actually, since Claws are a +2 it maxes out at three stress a hit. Which is appropriate. Your average house cat is NOT going to ever attempt to kill a human, using Maneuvers and such to get away instead...but if they did (perhaps guided by some malign intellect), their odds wouldn't actually be that bad. A cat can rip your throat out pretty effectively if it's suddenly granted human intelligence.
