Re: What are the Mechanics Behind Cross Breeding?
Here are two tests from Dom3.14:
(1) Misfortune 3, 10 casts of Cross Breeding:
All Foul Spawn:
Size-4 Spider 27
Size-2 Pink (Life Drain/Leprosy) 46
Size-2 Green (Regenerates/Amphibious/Tentacles/Spit) 88
Size-2 Chaff 56
(2) Luck 3, 10 casts of Cross Breeding:
Foul Spawn:
Size-4 Spider 21
Size-2 Pink (Life Drain/Leprosy) 37
Size-2 Green (Regenerates/Amphibious/Tentacles/Spit) 71
Size-2 Chaff 65
Monsters (Sizes 4-6)
Four claws 1
Cockatrice 2
Grotesque 1
Draco Lion 1
Chimera 1
---
So, with misfortune, no super-cool flying poison and fire-spitting monsters were generated in 10 casts. But even with luck-3, it's 50/50 if you'll get one cool creature per cast.
Nearly all the small Foul Spawn are slow and have horrible protection, so will get severely owned by any missile fire including slings and javelins.
But they do have a variety of interesting attributes, like the poison spit or triple armor piercing tentacles, or do-not-eat. And even the smallest are strength 11 and not mindless, so, good luck with that siege!
