Basic Fantasy Field Guide Volume 2

[Boggo]

Boggo has a point. Domestic cats are one thing, but yeah, any wild animal that has made its way into EE should be brought over to the 4E FG.

I'll look at it tonight since I'm going to start a flow pass on that book.

this is ultimate edge case, but I have actually been in a game where a first level thief trying his hand at burglary was killed by a house cat (we forever afterwards called that game Angus' silly game (Angus being the GM))

though to my way of looking at it, why do we need game stats for something that the pc's arent facing the prospect of battling? does having domestic cat stats actually serve a purpose?

Isn't the Norker a Fiend Folio original?

[SmootRK]

Norker is indeed in 1e Fiend Folio, though I do not know if there are other references.

If necessary I would suggest Deep Hobgoblin or Hobgoblin, Deep... as that is essentially what they are. Otherwise they may need removal or a redesign from scratch. The idea that they are a subterranean goblinoid race may be too specific to TSR material.

Good catch. I'm not very familiar with the 1e monsters.

I did some research it's from the old White Dwarf Fiend Factory, nothing before that (Fiend Folio was a collection of monsters published in Fiend Factory) so it's definitely a D&D original, I like the name Deep Hobgoblin (entry would correctly be Hobgoblin, Deep) so that's where my vote goes, I think the subterranean aspect is ok as Goblins and such are mythologically quite often associated with living underground
