I'm pretty comfortable with this kind of stunt,. I think it passes the "good enough" test with respect to the FAE rules, and the creature as statted feels in the same league with most other humanoid creations in the FATE Bestiary (and is actually significantly less combat oriented than many). The heat ray is a distinctive feature of our Sea Devil friends, and there are some kinds of adversaries where a Compel might be offered to not use the weapon (such as energy beings).

One easy fix would be to determine if heat rays grant +2 on attacks only against certain targets (living things? inanimate objects?). It's been way too long since I've seen classic Sea Devil episodes to remember what they end up shooting at most often, though.Josh Culbertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986268378716950221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051574527441977124.post-71218227902766035712013-10-11T10:39:56.514-05:002013-10-11T10:39:56.514-05:00I think someone else may be doing a post on the Gi...I think someone else may be doing a post on the Gill-Man for FAE in October. The Gill-Man was always my favorite movie monster. If not, I will probably add him. I think this may be Greg Ketter's favorite monster too, as his Dream Haven imprint has published the novel and the screenplay for Creature From the Black Lagoon.Tallgeesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16045006122540505779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051574527441977124.post-85269466399536187282013-10-10T16:16:11.529-05:002013-10-10T16:16:11.529-05:00But what about Sea Monkeys?
