I thought of 'balanced' as something that's pretty medium in shape, not towards any extreme.Β

Not that you can't just make something with those rolls, but you're supposed to roll twice in each list. Then you either choose one of the two or combine both into your creature.Β

Orionide5 In reply to kyoopa [2013-05-12 00:00:36 +0000 UTC]

Did you roll twice in each category like the instructions said? And if you get that leg option it's easiest to make the legs very small, like the legs of a centipede or starfish.

kyoopa In reply to Orionide5 [2013-05-12 00:19:42 +0000 UTC]

Whup no. LET ME DO THAT AGAIN... slender, radial, three or five legs, sucker, blind, completely boneless, spikes or horns. Still gonna have a ball.
