Animal Encounters

[Blue Ghost]

I got my T5 CD, and I've been looking through the PDFs here. But I can't find anything on encounters or animal encounters. Can anybody tell me what chapter they're in?

Chapter "BeastMaker", pp.575.
Look here for an implementation: http://heldenhaufen.de/T5/BeastMaker

Just wondering if they are any different from the earlier versions. Outdoor adventures are fun, and for making beasts, it is amazing as to how much there is to work with based on Earth.

T5 BeastMaker is more detailed than earlier Traveller version's animal encounters.

What I'm really after is the proper way to format an animal encounter or event for publication in a table.

Also, I'm after what characteristics you list for a T5 animal encounter. Do the rules still use Attack Flee Stand stats, or something else?

Also, is the game still using a 2D6 roll for the encounter tables, and is there any factoring for predator-prey relationships?

This is where a sample PDF file on the game would be extremely useful.

I saw in one of the Gypsy Knight games supplements that physical stats are listed for animals. Is that a MgT thing or something from T5?

That's a Mongoose thing.

Ah, okay. I have several tables worked out for events and animals in a variety of climates a-la the old CT encounter table rules. Then, when I saw the stats listed in John Watt's supplement, I cringed at the leg work ahead.

Thanks for the clarification.

I've got a script that does some heavy lifting...
