Okay my turn: To begin, why/when would you ever need a herbivore in a fight? What benefits would summoning a cow or horse have, I mean I under stand the need for a horse to get around but then you can just get a horse in most HQs.
Okay the summing would go as thus: You draw a pentagram (We can take this out) and summon your Beast, depending on the rank of the Beast the amount of time increases by the rank number. So summoning a Draconic phylum Beast would take 6 posts if we used my scale. The mount of Beast you can summon in a post is limited by the rank. Seeing as the Beast come from someplace other than our world, a kind of aether like place between worlds.
I personally don't think we need a fish or aquatic phylum, for Dragons you could have either a really big one or one with a breath weapon. Yes, as long as you can describe it and it being reasonable I would say yes. No, the Insect class is for nothing bigger than a Rottweiler (or 20 - 28"), this would go for the whole of the Insect class.
Though I do like your way of assigning ranks over mine, I just thought that a dragon should take up all of your slots seeing as it's more powerful than the other families. I'd be willing to change the "cats/dogs" class to a 'mammals" class so you could choose whatever.
RuleJJ : I was using the Draconic class to hold the Reptiles too.
A cow, no, but a Bull yes. A couple of horses, sure, you can stampede. and you forget having an elephant, or a moose. Probably shouldn't be a pentagram, but creating something works. So, you're saying that you can use all the beasts, no matter what, just not all at the same time? OK. At least an aquatic one. maybe not a fish one, but an aquatic.
Yes I just realized that, how about just a circle (Like a fairy circle)? As long as you have that Beast on your roster I say the lower the class the more you can have out at once.
Yes I agree we should have an aquatic class. |

Yes I agree we should have an aquatic class.Here's an idea. We could change it to four levels: Mundane (Weak), Mundane (Strong), Mythical, and Draconic. Then in each of these we have three sub-categories: Avian (Flying), Aquatic, and Terrestrial. So it would look something like this: Level One: Mundane (Weak) -Avian (flying insects, smaller birds) -Aquatic (smaller fish, weaker water animals) -Terrestrial (smaller mammals, reptiles, and insects) Level Two: Mundane (Strong) -Avian (larger birds, mostly birds of prey) -Aquatic (larger fish, sharks, larger sea life) -Terrestrial (larger mammals and reptiles) Level Three: Mythical -Avian (flying mythical creatures like rocs, thunderbirds, pheonixes, griffins) -Aquatic (underwater mythical creatures like kraken, kappa, kelpies) -Terrestrial (land-dwelling mythical creatures like chimera, giants, manticore, gorgons, werewolves) Level Four: Draconic -Avian (flying dragons like wyverns, Chinese dragons, European dragons) -Aquatic (water-dwelling dragons like sea serpents, hydra, Chinese dragons) -Terrestrial (earthbound dragons like European dragons, wyrms, hydra) Obviously, there is some overlap between some of the sub-categories, but I think that's okay. You may want to merge the two Mundane levels. |

I did forget about stampede and elephants, Bulls would be nice too.

mythmaster1: Do you have any ideas? If we're still using the slot idea I would say you can summon all of the beasts in your slots, but you'd have to wait in between each casting. |

Can you please explain it again, in more detail? |

The slots are/were the amount of beast you can have equal to their rank. So a level one would fill one slot. How many slots would you get? |

Say you only have three Poke-balls, you can only bring out three Poke-balls in a gym battle.
You only have X amount of slots you can fill with the same amount of beast, ideally you'd have what beasts you want in your bio and those are the beasts you would call upon. Like Xavic only has Gor'El, Xavic can only call Gor'El to battle since he doesn't have a second dragon. |

You could have (using the three as the number since it's easier) a mouse and an Elephant, or you could have a Chimera. And, are you saying that you can only have X slots to call upon? So, if you summon a Dragon, when it 'Despawns' or whatever, you can't summon two chimera? |

I'm going to use what little I know of Pokemon to explain this.

Yes you could have a Dragon or two chimera in your slots at all times. |

hmm. . . OK. so we can't change beasts once we have them. Alright. Yes, it's a good idea, although you might want to increase the numbers from 8 to 10, or the Diversity isn't a smart option. for example, three wolves aren't as good as two dragons (Nor would 3 Elephants in most cases), but five could probably take down two and a moose, if the right strategies are involved (Actually, scratch that. five wolves couldn't do that: 4 wolves and an elephant could, or an elephant, a wolf, a lion, a tiger and a bear. but that's where Diversity comes in.) Another thing, are their limits to what "Magical Beasts" fit in the slots? So, while I believe I'm correct in saying that any dragon species you see (minus completely OP ones that will never be able to be destroyed in this RP), could I have a Nundu? A Swooping Evil? A Lurker? And what about Demons, that's a common race, though nothing is set in stone for them other than they are a generally evil race. is it like in Fablehaven where each Demon is different, or can be different? what? Also, question about the slots: Am I correct in saying that the animals we summon cannot permanently be smashed? Also, is their a need to resummon creatures every so often, or desummon them for a period? |
