Design Notes:\u00a0<\/strong>Back in early heyday of SWSE, I wrote a little how-to guide for creating Beast stats which got me a little attention on D20 Radio’s forums. So for old times’ sake (and those who still play one of the best D20 games ever), I sometimes stat adversaries for the system. As I said above, I couldn’t resist statting the rathtar. As always, when I do “conversions” my goal is the spirit of the character, rather than point-by-point–which actually works better when the systems are so different in approach.<\/p>\n

For those who like to check my work, please note that Stealth isn’t one of the beast’s trained skills; I included it for convenience since Stealth is modified by size category.<\/p>\n

Go ahead and critique my build, which–fair warning–hasn’t been playtested.<\/p>\n
