Oh give me a break, you probably have a better handle on the rules than I do
at this point, I'm sure you could make up something workable.  I haven't
developed the Animals rules any further since we were discussing them in e-
mail a little over a month ago (shows how bogged down I am, I haven't even
started the Animal Ker-Pow! Table, which is going to be one of the highlights
of the book).  I think the final form of the animals rules will be pretty
close to what we discussed though.  Here, I'll quote from the mail:
