The Races in Nemesis will be standardized in a time.
That means, if you need let's say a lizard for your castle,
you clone a monster and set the race to "lizard", set its level
and then set an adjective-string, perhaps "green-spotted".
That would be all. The race "lizard" will include that it gets
statistics right for a lizard of this level. Note, that you will
not be able to set the stats for the monsters anymore, just perhaps,
if you want to have a weak lizard, a relative add_stat(5,-10)
[strength being the fifth statistic] or something like that.

Then, as next step, there will be special features for the monsters.
That means that there are some races of monsters, which are
magic-resistant, and there are some that will be affected only by magic.
Further, with a flag in the weapons, there are races only to be hit with
bludgeoning weapons like skeletons, others like jellies that are affected
only by fire and others, like vampires, that are only damaged by magical
weapons. There are, too monsters with special attacks, such as breathe
fire (red dragons) or swallow opponent, ... and so on.

The things in the first paragraph are to come rather soon, these in the second
paragraph will take some longer time.

Flames, suggestions, questions, money, thanks, etc etc to Myrnek.

Please write, I won't eat you ... well at least, not ALL of you ;)
