Family Crunch: Cockroaches

[Alpharius]

Basic statline, special species features, etc. Species suggested so far:

- Madagascar Hissing Cockroach
- Regular (European) Cockroach
- Bush Cockroach
- Skunk Roach
- Giant Burrowing Cockroach

Something exotic you could throw in for variety: Perisphaerus the "pill roach." Just like a pillbug!

It looks cool. I think we have our roach uber-tank specialist.

Ok couldn't find a "european" cockroach so went with German Cockroach Blattella Germanica as the standard.

What do you guys think? So this would be our basic "human" standard or whatever.

Locked out again. I'll fix it when I get back home, but for now:

Naryzhud, great work.
I'm thinking that maybe diffent stats could require different amounts of XP to level up, and it should get more expensive to keep leveling up that one stat (a la Dark Heresy). But aside from that, it's great.

[Naryzhud]

Yeah, that's probably a good idea actually...

Would we have just a standard stat levelling thing as in up to stat 40 1pt = 10xp, to 50 1pt = 20xp etc or would we do them individually per insect? I'm tempted to say per insect with different costs.

How about have different cost ratings that can be applied to each attribute as appropriate. So "Standard" would be <40 1pt = 10xp, <50 1pt = 20xp etc, "High" would be <40 1pt = 20xp, <50 1pt = 40xp etc, "Low" would be <40 1pt = 5xp, <50 = 10xp, and so on. Then roaches would have Str at "Standard" but Vitality would be at "Low"... Just thinking having a standardized set of costs would save on a lot of writing stuff out.

Also had some ideas about size today while i was thinking about it at work but i'll post that as a separate thread.
