G’Day,
Has anyone statted up giant mosquitos? These are so big that they can, with difficulty, carry off a normal size person. Two of them could carry off a big person in armour.
They are the Grancudos of the LotFP module “Blood in the Chocolate”.
I am statting their proboscis as an arming sword.
I reckon they would have a +1D to lock because they have so many legs.
3D Armour on their body and 2D on the legs.
What am I missing?
I haven’t done it - but if you do I’m very interested!
Stride 5, 9 When Flying?
Some Trait that gives it flight – probably magical because carrying people as a flying creature is a feat.
On a Mark hit with the probiscis, the victim is locked 1D, and the mosquito begins sucking down blood – Health and Forte are both taxed 1D at the top of each subsequent exchange. Forte taxed to 0 (including from lock and/or injury) render the victim incapacitated; Health taxed to 0 kills the victim. Dice taxed this way return at a rate of 1D per day (barring death or blood transfusion).
Instinct: Always bring prey back to the nest alive.
Power B5 Agility B3(clumsy exoskeleton) Perception B4(5, many faceted eyes)
Forte B3 Speed B6 (buzz, buzz) Will B3
Reflexes B4 MW:B10
How’s this looking?
Gnosego, you are a champion. You are right Mosquitos are not particularly agile. They are even worse when the are bloated with blood.
Belief: By rights, your blood is mine. I must have it to create the next generation!
Gnosego is indeed a champion haha. Always here for us !
I’m keeping those giant Mosquitos stats 
thanks !
That mosquito has way more Will than I would have given it. It’s not even a mammal, and that is as much Will as a low-Willed human can be. I would probably go with Will B1.
You’ve never made a human with B1 Will?
It’s a giant magical mosquito that carries people away to its nest for dinner. It’s very confident.
I mean, a human child (1–10 years) has 5 mental points, so assuming even distribution and no traits, it has 2 to 3 Will. Insects aren’t known to know fear though, so I would probably give it a trait to remove hesitation for most things (larvae do run away in fear though, so it’s complicated I guess).
You’re really underselling the conversational skills of my giant magical mosquito here. You haven’t even attended the dinner parties!
I don’t know why you would assume that.
Don’t forget a trait to avoid incapacitation from a Light Wound!
If it makes you feel better, the players were so weirded out by the giant mosquitoes that the avoided them at all costs. So their sparkling personalities were never put to the test.
They didn’t want to go to the mosquitoes’ place for a drink? 
thank you very much. i love it.
