Bestiary, Basic Set (Animals and Monsters)

Animals and Monsters is a chapter in the Basic Set and effectively functions as a Bestiary. This uses a revised version of the format used in Classic: Bestiary at the end as including Traits makes the table nearly useless.

Pets and Trained Animals

Animal Training

• IQ 2 (Average reptile): can learn to come when called for food and recognize its master, and not to attack him
• IQ 3 (Average horse or hawk): can learn commands appropriate to its work and general tolerance for all humans or for specific masters (trainer’s choice). It knows its name and comes when called (if it feels like it). Untrained animals are worth only 1/3 of their "normal" value.
• IQ 4 (Average dog): can learn commands appropriate to its work and general tolerance for all humans or for specific masters (trainer’s choice), plus “fetch,” “attack,” “find,” “sit,” etc., as appropriate for the species. It tries to warn its owner of dangers it perceives, and fights – and even dies – for its master. If not trained to IQ 3 it is worth only 1/3 of its "normal" value. If trained to IQ4 level increase value by 50%
• IQ 5 (Average monkey): If not trained to IQ 3 it is worth only 1/3 of its "normal" value. If trained to IQ4 level increase value by 50% and if trained to IQ5 double value.
