Topic: LUSUS NATURAE random monster generator?

I've heard that R. Chandler's LUSUS NATURAE includes a random monster generator. Can anyone tell me how extensive its random monster generator is?

Thank you! So no tables for stuff like armor class, hit dice, movement rates, etc.?

Ed, thank you once again. smile That sounds like a short but powerful generator. I'm very tempted to buy LUSUS NATURAE when it is released in hard copy.

Thanks for the tip, Ed. I just ordered a copy. smile

Just to clarify, all of the above information is correct for the PDF version (thanks, Ed!), but the print version features a few extra pages (the PDF will be updated with these additional pages fairly soon).

Now, it's:
p. 126-127: 8 tables of descriptors and types
p. 128: 5 tables, including desires, special abilities, appearance, and demeanor
p. 129: d20 table of spoken words (dialogue uttered by the monster) and d100 table of names
p. 131: Generate a monster-hunting nemesis for the beast, including a d100 table for name, d20 table for identity, and d12 table for location
p. 132: Random disease generator using d4s, d6s, d8s, and d10s
p. 133: d100 table: "Found in the monster's lair"

(Note: p. 124-125 are now a list of anagrammed spells, due to the effects of a certain monster.)
