OK, animal attacks (and non-humaniod monsters, for that matter): what sort of manuvers are you working up for them? Leaping? Dart to hamstring? Or is it simply Jump & Bite?
GMs, how are you handleing it?

Not to flog a dead horse, but there's a huge amount of stuff on this in Of Beasts and Men.
When's it coming out? When the artists finish their illustrations, I understand. The text has been done for a while now.

It might be important to flog a dead horse after unseating its Undead rider, but that's beyond the point.... ;)
I'm eager to buy it. And Flower of Battle. But how long will the delay be? I'm going to be using the RoS melee system to replace the melee system in my Fading Suns campaign (which uses Millenium's End game system otherwise). Other than courtly duels and emergencies, they won't be using melee much, but there's a RoS system/WH background campaign with my name on it coming down the pike.
Kenzer Company drove me crazy with awesome supps (thir Atlas) which was 'about to be released' for nine months.
.pdf would be a excellent thing; I'd but the hardback, too, but speed of beauty, IMO!

I hope your animal supplement works better than the small animal critical hit charts for the old Arms Law. According to those a common housecat if allowed all five of it's theoretical maximum attacks (four claws+one bite) is actually more dangerous to an unarmored man than a dagger!

Spoken like a man who has never tried to trap a stray cat. Personally, I found the table to be on the weak side. I have twenty-year-old scars from an encounter with a cat...

Here's the deal-
Most of the artwork is in (yay). We're assembling printing capital. The book will be physically available by the conventions season (it has to be) A PDF version should be available in mid-march, because I have to take it to GTS. Ah, external deadlines are a good thing.

Damn, I was hoping to see the book in print before July so I could actually see it before I go to the Middle East and possibly get shot :-)
