Bestiary favored categories
« on: May 06, 2021, 07:55:07 AM »
In order to do level adjustments to creatures from the bestiary what are the favored categories for those animals/creatures that do not have a profession base or additional profession levels? I see that it uses 50DP/level and the normal max ranks per level, but can't find what the cost/per rank is anywhere.

Page 8. "In many cases it will be Monster, which accentuates combat, stealth, movement, resistance, and outdoors skills as appropriate to the nature of the creature."

So, General and Physical, because *everything* has those as favored categories, Outdoors, and Subterfuge. That seems a little light, but these are monsters who aren't using professions.

Oh and Combat. I waited too long after modifying to modify again.

Okay, I guess I can buy that. Will probably use it for animals as well even though they don't even have a build listed.

I imagine the favored categories for animals also follow the "Monster profession" idea.
