So we've decide that You guys have to see how monster burning works :) , and get a glimpse at madness that awaits us all. I'm not allowed to post monster burner sheet - so we gonna be limited to list in plain text. Monsters in MB are created by answering numbers of questions (100 questions we called them), but please note that those questions/phrases are not final and are subject to slight changes ;)

I hate to pick nits (really!), but I thought he couldn't wind himself--so why the instinct about winding himself? Should it maybe 'get myself wound every day' or something?

Also, How is the Grey power in his arms and hands reflected in the stats?

Any kind of beastie or race that you can imagine can be created by following the MonBur guide.
