Thanks for the kind words, guys!
Strangely, I seem to be finding critters & NPCs easier to stat up in BRP than in RQ3. Not sure why - it could be my advanced age and obsessive brain
- but my hunch is that it's something to do with the Powers system. It's acting as a "special abilities" list for critters with darkvision, etc, so you don't have to reinvent the wheel every time round, plus the magical abilities (Sorcery and Psychic abilities, in my case) are a lot easier to deploy than the RQ3 magic.
I'm going to be creating a P'Tek (Chronicles Troll) Shamaness with a bound darkness demon (and maybe a darkness elemental) and a pile of sorcery spells shortly - that should provide a good shake-out of the stat block & chargen system! I'll post the results here if they look like they might be interesting.
Cheers,
Sarah
