Yeah, about seven years earlier, hence my comment about the froglok.

They originally started out as NPCs then later became a playable race.

Re: PoL Update - New beastmen

Damn, I finally found what it was that this whole thing smacked of. And it wasn't a previous FF that was sticking in the back of my mind afterall.

I present to you, the Loveland Frog:

Courtesy of Cryptozoology.com

A completely bizarre "creature" that was sighted several times over a long period of time by a number of different people in Loveland Ohio, from 1952 onwards. The creature was often witnessed in groups. The first person to witness this unlikely creature was driving along a country road in Loveland Ohio, when he noticed some odd looking animals at the side of the road. He pulled over to get a better look and couldn't believe what he was seeing. A number of strange amphibian-like creatures were moving along the side of the road. He claimed later that one of them "took out a wand like object and produced glowing sparks". A search of the area later revealed no signs of the creatures.Nothing was seen of the strange creatures for another 20 years, when in 1972 a policeman who was driving along that exact same road, spotted an odd beast crouched down at the side of the road. A few seconds later the frog-like creature stood up to reveal it's true size, and disappeared down an embankment towards a nearby river. 2 Weeks later on, and another similar animal was found by another policeman on the same road again. This time the policeman actually took a shot at the animal, but apparently missed as it scurried away into the undergrowth. Despite all these sightings, no physical evidence for the existence of the "Loveland Frogs" has ever been found.

That's what the pictures reminded me of anyway. A fat frog with a wand....

Re: PoL Update - New beastmen

o.o I wonder if these new froggies give lots of tasty EXP? Imps are starting to give me gas.

Re: PoL Update - New beastmen

You have to give them points for originality.
/cough Froglok

ChronoTrigger had a frogman, FFIV had Toad as a status ailment. Both predate EQ's Frogloks. Even then, its not original, but as far beastmen go, its still rather different.

Wonder if they'll be after the AC. If they inflict AoE Toad status, that would be rather funny.

Re: PoL Update - New beastmen

hmm abit to much information there....

One question i would ask will they be able to cast mini or frog like in FFVII would be an interesting twist (though doubt it, too much dat editing to change characters i think)

I gather they wont be easy to defeat either as most likely will be in TOA zones.

Grossly oversimplified:
[CODE]
Frogkiss()
{
boolFrog = TRUE;
}

Draw()
{
if (boolFrog)
{
RenderChar(Frog);
}
else
{
RenderChar();
}
}[/CODE]

Re: PoL Update - New beastmen

Will they have/drop berets?

Will the have a curly 'tash?

What will their xp yield be like? Afterall they will surrender as soon as you draw a weapon.

Most importantly will they taste any good?
I don't imagine Blackened Frog or Frog Flambe tasting that good but those are from pond/marsh frogs.

Re: PoL Update - New beastmen

When I think back to EQ, the French server was named after the zone with all the frogloks in.
