MERP/Rolemaster Beast Table
Codes: The statistics given describe a typical creature of that type. Most of the codes are self-explanatory : Lvl = level, # Enc = number encountered, Size = Tiny, Small, Medium, Large or Huge, and DB = defensive bonus. The more complex statistics are described below.
Speed: A creature’s Speed is given in terms of Movement Speed/Attack Quickness ; C = Creeping, VS = Very Slow, S = Slow, M = Medium, MF = Moderately Fast, F = Fast, VF = Very Fast, and BF = Blindingly Fast.
AT (Armor Type): The two letter code gives the creature’s MERP armor type (No = No Armor, SL = Soft Leather, RL = Rigid Leather, Ch = Chain, Pl = Plate); the number is the equivalent Rolemaster armor type.
Attack: Each attack code starts with the attacker’s Offensive Bonus. The first letter indicates the size of the attack : T = Tiny, S = Small, M = Medium, L = Large and H = Huge. The last two letters indicate the type of attack : Ti = Tiny, Pi = Pincher/Beak, Ba = Bash, Bi = Bite, Cl = Claw, Cr = Crush, Gr = Grapple, Ho = Horn, TS = Trample/Stomp, St = Stinger, and We = Weapon. These codes differ slightly from the MERP codes and the Rolemaster codes.
(Primary/Secondary/Tertiary): Each creature usually initiates combat using its Primary attack. Depending on the situation or success of the Primary attack, it may later use its Secondary attack or Tertiary attack.
