I know that Thri-Kreen used to have a unique three bladed projectile weapon. Do they still have that?

Thri-kreen should be Large sized, 5x10/5 Face/Reach creatures, if you ask me. And yeah, where's the chatkcha? Or the chatkcha-on-a-stick polearm called a gythka for that matter?And if we really want...

Incidentallty, Athas.org have changed their size to medium and they are ECL +5. Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity

Don't get me started on Athas.org's versions of the races. Their thri-kreen and half-giant conversions are both FUBAR. Seriously FUBAR.-----------------------------------I finally beat the Internet....

I never allowed anyone to play a Thr-Kreen or Half-Giant in DS. They were just too overpowered."And so he says, 'I don't like the cut of your jib.' And I go, I says, IT'S THE ONLY JIB I GOT, BABY!"

They look bipedal in all the other books I've seen. This one is just missing its ass end. Looks really strange without its abdomen as the others said.

they were Bipedal since DS release back in '91. And, from what I remember, in the old MM aswell Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity

There were many more pictures of Thri-Kreen in the Dark Sun setting books."And so he says, 'I don't like the cut of your jib.' And I go, I says, IT'S THE ONLY JIB I GOT, BABY!"

The 2e MM, I think its in the description.But check the old DS campaign boxed set, from '91, It should have at least one Kreen pic in it. Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity

I remeber thrikeen very well and they always walked on 4 legs and 2 arms. They COULD use 4 arms in combat and stand on 2 but prefered 4 legs.Now don't go mixing fomorians and thri-keen up. Thri-keen...

How could someone mix up Thri-Kreen with Formorians? Just wondering how that's possible. "And so he says, 'I don't like the cut of your jib.' And I go, I says, IT'S THE ONLY JIB I GOT, BABY!"

Hmmmm...I must have ran Dark Sun too much, the Kreen I'm familiar with ALWAYS walked on 2 legs and had 4 arms.PS And they had a HUGE butt. Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity

Different interpretations. What is a "kobold", anyway? To some, it will be a goblinoid, to others, a descendant from dragons; to others it will be a dog-like halfling, and still to others it shall be...

I'll always envision Thri-Kreen as proper Mantis-looking creatures. Dark Sun the best job of that.----------------------- Love is what we're born with, Fear is what we learn here.
