Yes, absolutely. For unique creatures this is actually a big thing to ask for, so I'd rather leave them out than ask for a bigger slice of the pie. For simpler creatures like hobgoblins, gnomes, and kobolds a simple description is actually giving up very little. Two lines of text for each critter would be an enormous improvement over the existing situation. Ten lines would only be marginally better than two. If an author has a different concept, they can always ignore the "default" description. -Brad _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
