The nwn engine has the two racial types animals and beasts, is this in some way differentiated in efu and is both used when creating monsters, following some kind of standard?

(In other words, was FE:beasts as bad an idea it seems so far?)

Howlando

I don't think there's really a standard, not sure that very many (if any?) monsters are considered to be "Beasts."

A beast is a  nonhistorial vertebrate with an anatomy reasonably similar to  historical creatures and with no magical or supernatural abilities.

BGSAnimals are... well... see for yourself. http://nwn.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Animals


Magical beasts would by similarity be... well... beasts with magic. A gryphon would be a beast I think (no magical abilities to it). A Hydra (which has magical properties in that it regenerates and some can breath elements) would be a magical beast.

Thanks Howland!

The nwnwiki entry defines the nwn standard but doesn't tell much about efu, tbh.
