Lahsbee/Huhk stats?

By Nytwyng, in Game Masters

Before I dive into homebrewing them myself, I thought I'd see if anyone knew of existing homebrew stats for the Lahsbees and Huhks?

I haven't seen anything, and I'm pretty on top of home-brew species for this system. I think it's all you! Maybe do the Dazouri while you're at it; similar transformation, but they can go back.

Figured it would be, but if I didn’t ask....

The current arc of the campaign has become something of an excuse to revisit some of the old Marvel settings (last weekend, they ran afoul of The Darker on Arbra, and one player picked up a Hoojib companion), but now that you mention it, the Dazouri might work better for what I’ve got in mind for the next session.

To quote Herb Tarlek, “Piano...or kitchen utensils...what to do, what to do....” ?

I believe there's a shape-changing species in the Genesys CRB you can crib from. Maybe in the Steampunk setting?

Thanks for the tip. I'll have to go pull it off the shelf and look here in a bit.

Since they were NPCs, the Genesys info didn't help too terribly much. I just statted out the Lahsbees as Minions and Huhks as Rivals, with narrative fluff that one matures into the other. Worked out well enough.

Ah, didn't realize you weren't going for a PC race. Yeah, that sounds like a good way to do it.

Sorry...I did them both as rivals.

I like it. I might be tempted to make Lahsbees minions, but I guess that makes them more dangerous in that the PCs might find themselves facing off against multiple Rivals if the Minion Lahsbees morph.

I forget the lore: Might it be possible for a Lahsbee to resist a premature change with a Discipline check?

Being able to have ranks in Charm (for the cuteness) on their own slightly tipped the scales towards rival for me.

The only premature change we saw, it was hard to say from the page if the Lahsbee was trying to resist or if the transformation just hurt. So, as far as that goes...table’s choice. ?

How did you even come across this species lol? I had never heard of it before.

I read the old Marvel series when it was published. ?

And, Sunday’s session was pretty much a riff on their first appearance.
