Re: New Biological enhacements

Beaver teeth? You know to eat the trees and such? Perquisite could be tusks. No, tusks are an entirely different form of dental development and would not precede beaver teeth. Beaver-style teeth IMHO are already handled by existing jaw enhancements. Furthermore, when dealing with the Machine, you'r...

Re: Pack Masters

I would highly recommend Rifter #59, pages 18 to 30, “Pack Mentality”
It covers a lot of additional things for Packmasters, including: Breeds, skill augmentation, and the Elite Packmaster options.

well, their strongest attack is their leap attack for knockdown by far, if we're talking melee, unless the enemy is really large. anyways, packmasters don't get a huge amount of bio-e to spread around, so i personally am really big on efficiency for them. low cost with good benefits if at all possi...
