Animal Weapons?

[hdan]

I'm having trouble understanding the animal creation rules, especially the weapons part. The only table that mentions damage does not mention weapon, and I can't find anywhere that explains the various weapons' effects.

Also, I'm trying to convert the creatures from Mission on Mithril. Any good ideas how to convert CT Animals, again mostly with regards to weapons and armor? (The rest is pretty straight forward.)

Help?

Check out page 72 ... Damage from attacks depends on the creatures strength score

And then depedning on the type of "weapon" this is modified by the table on page 71

otherwise the are the same as regular player damage and weapons

The animal weapons basically come down to "acts like a small blade" (+0 at Personal and -1 at Close) and "acts like a large blade" (-1 at Personal and +0 at Close). The damage done is generated on the animal charts themselves as dreamingbadger says.

In effect, the animal weapon descriptions are just colour text these days. Which is a bit of a shame.

I'm hoping that they will actually put out a animals supplement, with the converted stats of CT critters. Plus of course expanded critter creation rules.
