Dredd: T-Rex Stats

[ned-kogar]

I've decided I'd better have a T-Rex or two on standby for my upcoming Hotdog Run game, so I need to come up with some stats.

Now, I've no experience with the system yet, but what do folk think of:

Cursed Earth T-Rex
Str 30 (+3?), Dex 3 (-1), End 28 (+3?)
Int 1 (-2),Instinct 8 (+)
Skills: Recon 2; Melee (natural weapons) 2; Survival 3
Traits: Thick, scaly skin 10; Bite attack (4d6+3); Tail Thrash / Head barge (3d6); Mass 7 tonnes

It would be shot to unconciousness by 14 average SE shots, 7 Hi-Ex or 4 AP (the latter surprised me...). Two average bites vs a (Str 8, Dex 8, End 8, Armour 6) judge would pretty much finish them off, with the max damage killing them outright.

Also, are there any rules in any of the Mongoose Traveller supplements that deal with fighting big foes? eg. higher stat DMs? I guess a bit of common sense in applying Personal Range would be handy...

?

Any help much appreciated..

Cheers,

Ned

assuming strength is normal progression Strength 30 would be +8, End 27 +7

you get a +1DM to hit a huge foe

Trying not to thread jack , but is Satanus in the core book?

Not that I could see though he is on the back cover of the core rule book

That's a Klegg, rather than Satanus, I think..

T-Rex = TPK last week. Players are still shocked. Was a bad Dice day for them.

Ouch!

May I ask how your stats compared to the ones listed above? I play tested those, and think I'll up the End some....

As a reference point there are a couple of large ummm, critters coming up in Bounties & Warrants. Ok, not Judge Dredd specifically but uses the Traveller system.

Ace! Thanks for the heads up! I'm looking forward to it all the more now... just hope it's out before I run the scenario....
