Anyone make a script that can spit out Monster info? Level, AS/DS Range, Sinkable or not, Location? Or if someone even knows a place that has all that info lined up I couldn't even manage that much.

Amerlise's Bestiary is very thorough and very outdated. Maybe she has a link in there somewhere on where to go for better stuff or maybe she updated in the past year sometime. Either way, hers is a good place to start.

I haven't checked it for a long time though I know the Coven was keeping a beastiary at www.zone9.com.

Know where I could find her Bestiary?

And I appreciate the coven's link but it seems to be a bit outdated may make a good start thou.

It probably is pretty outdated. The Coven's numbers have decreased since I was last active in the organization but hopefully they'll drum up some interest again soon. :)

Last Update: September 9, 1998

Can't find any more recent versions and her site seems to be gone.

What happened to the coven bestiary? There's no more search and it's not as detailed as it was once.

yea all the ones I've run into seem to be lacking detail or updates, think I'll start putting requests out to drove in info on these things so I can write a script that'll pop the info easily in game.

Grendeg posted a near complete list in table format on the officials, using Tsoran's maps as a guide. All it contains is level and location, but definitely a start. I'd post my Excel version of it, but that's not attachable here.

And it turns out I can't post a text version of the file, using the | as a seperator, because it exceeds the file size limits for the board. :(

Send me an email, and I can get it out to you.

Lich bestiary script for the win..like big time

>;bestiary
--- Lich: bestiary active.

Total critters currently in the database: 426.


1) To search the database for a critter's information, simply enter the name when starting the script. Example: ;bestiary thrak.
2) To search for all critters in a given area, enter that area when starting the script (enclose multiple words in quotes). Example: ;bestiary "blighted forest".
3) To list all critters around your train (+/- 5 levels), enter advice when starting the script. Example: ;bestiary advice.
4) To search for all critters that are in a certain level range, simply enter the level range. Example: ;bestiary 50-55.
5) To limit matches to only undead or only not undead, enter as one of your criteria 'undead' (only undead matches), or '!undead' (only living matches).

- Note: you can enter multiple options, but each option is evaluated individually (displays critters matching *any* of the options, not *all* the options [logical 'or', not logical 'and']; use negation to isolate matches). As an example: ;bestiary thrak rolton 3-5.
- Note: prepending a '!' (exclamation mark) negates a search option. Example: ;bestiary sheruvian !monk (this would return 'Sheruvian harbinger' and 'Sheruvian initiate', because they both match 'Sheruvian', but not 'Sheruvian monk' because it matched the negated 'monk' criteria).


--- Lich: bestiary has exited.
