Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!: A Dresdenverse Bestiary
John Galt:
For every scientific or psychological study you can cite that claims Dolphins are as intelligent as you are claiming, I can find a scientific or psychological study claiming they aren't. It's a highly disputed topic. Many psychologists have even tried to claim Dolphins are smarter than humans. They're usually the tree hugging ones that think Dolphins would do a better job ruling the world than us hyper destructive, evil humans.
My point being that you've given them above average human intelligence. That's what the average skill means. We can put aside the "so long and thanks for all the fish" argument and at least agree that they aren't more intelligent than humans. At least I hope we can agree that. And if you don't think they're more intelligent than the average human than it doesn't make sense to give your "average dolphin" a scholarship at average.
Deadmanwalking:
Like I said in the actual writeup, the Scholarship is probably undeserved, it's just to reflect them being brighter than most of the other critters listed.
If it makes you feel better, re-read or remember how dolphins show up in Small Favor and assume that dolphins are smarter in the Dresdenverse. :)

I kind of got the feeling those dolphins were scions or something.
But in any event, I was just offering my critique which you seemed to keep asking for and no one had anything but compliments ;)
And that's really the only criticism I have. I'll probably end up GMing in the Fall and I'll be saving these for future reference. Plus I'll suggest running into some Mountain Lions in my current Houston game.
Deadmanwalking:
Cool. I actually appreciate the critique, I don't get nearly enough constructive criticism. I just happen not to agree with this particular one. :)
And I'm very glad you'll be getting some use out of the list.

And does anyone have any other creatures they wish to see created?

The session is this Saturday. I'll let you know how it goes.
Since our game is set in east tennessee, and involves the appalachians and Cherokee Indians, we'll be making extensive use of the animal list. I'll let you know when things get used.
