I’m not certain if it’s due to the inherent pageantry of birds-of-paradise, the way you brilliantly use color* as a form of mechanical differentiator, or just how useful these tables are in creating unique, compelling enemies. For me, the existence of bird-of-paradise men instantly spawns a variety of adventure hooks: some mundane (gathering feathers for tribal or ornamental purposes) and some exotic (escorting/protecting an eccentric scientist who wants to observe bird-of-paradise men mating rituals in person). Will we see more information about them in Behind Gently Smiling Jaws, or was this more of a one-off idea? <br /><br />*This is particularly interesting to me because it mimics nature’s use of warning colors. After a certain number of encounters PCs will know not to use flaming oil on red bird-of-paradise men, or Sleep on white ones. Love these kind of mechanics.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06991897953325256254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513019539869706574.post-69392907208370532782016-05-18T16:48:04.748+08:002016-05-18T16:48:04.748+08:00Nobody can really do justice to how weird and wond...Nobody can really do justice to how weird and wonderful birds of paradise truly are.noismshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933436762608669966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513019539869706574.post-33884920118746978242016-05-18T03:28:15.381+08:002016-05-18T03:28:15.381+08:00A little surprised this (third one) wasn't inv...A little surprised <a href="http://imgur.com/gallery/tpjps" rel="nofollow">this</a> (third one) wasn't invoked.Confanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10361443460498670841noreply@blogger.com
