User talk:Gd2shoe/Monster cs

I left the following request on Talk:Game NPCs in response to Game NPCs#Monsters

Request: Can the monster section be expanded a little? cs/monster sounds great, but most of us don't know what the possible range is. It would help if a few monsters were nailed down, such as dire rat, orc, and dragon. This is not to say that X cs/monster must always be monster Y, only something as strong as monster Y.

It is also possible for some larger monsters to have minions. This is easy enough to roleplay too. Subtract 1 from the number of monsters, and subtract that specific monster's cs. The rest of the cs gets divided to determine the average minion cs.

I definitely don't think that it's a good idea for the game mechanics to name the monsters. If you're talking more about wiki-based monster naming, to add some basis for RP flavour, I'd suggest visiting the Monster Compendium. --Hroppa 12:09, 19 August 2008 (CEST)

"... for the game mechanics to name the monsters." What? I wasn't suggesting that at all. Why would I? I would just like to have a better grasp of what a specific cs might represent for RP purposes. Nothing more. Though, if someone were to say that a region was over-run with dire-rats, but it was really 5 monsters of 500cs+, then the conversation needs to be guided elsewhere...

I'll come back to examine the compendium when I feel I have enough data to settle on a reasonable range of cs/monster. --Slaadslayer 22:21, 23 August 2008 (CEST)

Ideas

Monsters

Dire Rat

Orc Brigand

I don't like the idea of just "brigand", because those aren't "monsters".

Troll

Dragon

Undead

Some pages already exist dedicated to types of undead. I'll start there, and link to them when I get around to it. Still no cs/man values, though.

Observations

This table is designed to be easy to add to from scout reports
