Woolies

The following is basic Woolie info:<div><br /></div><div><b>Woolies:</b><div><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Type: (sentient race) large herbivores</b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Number appearing: 1-20</b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Move: fast</b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>IM/RS: 5/45</b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>STA: 50</b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Attack: by weapon type, or claws 45%</b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Damage: 1 D10 per claw, or weapon type</b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Woolies are the native sentient race and culture of Janus.
Woolies have a protected status on Janus. Woolies are not to bothered or
harassed in any ways. If a Woolie gets hurt by a non-Woolie the planetary
police automatically hold the non-Woolie involved on attempted murder charges
until the problem can be investigated. Woolies though tall are not very strong
and are basically non-aggressive.</b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>These creatures are bipeds covered with shaggy fur standing
about six and a half to seven feet tall. The civilization of these people is
described as nomadic and semi-tribal, although some larger tribal units of
relative stability have been observed, primarily on the northern continent. The
intelligence of the Woolies has been tested as low. The long term survival
potential </b><b>of the Woolies without intervention of a more advanced culture has
been judged as low as well by Multi-Cap scientists.</b></p><p class="MsoNormal">Woolies are consistently in the module called dumb, but they can't be all that dumb, primitive society/cultural perspective yes, and as a species evolved from a prey animal I think dumb needs a rethink. First they make tools, weapons, can learn tasks better than a robot for the ag business, are capable of organizing attacks, have religions and languages... they are taking advantage of the protection of more advanced races. They can attack as a group and are capable of self organized group activities. They can build as well, primitive structures.</p><p class="MsoNormal">They don't really sound that dumb, just not knowledgable by a high tech culture's standard. I think they are a flight first then fight race. I also think their non aggressive tendencies might not just be biological, as some info in the module indicates they can go on the war path...</p><p class="MsoNormal">They are weaker (so not wookies that can rip arms off), and require a higher oxygen then the core 4 races.</p><p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><br /></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><br /></b></p>
