Era of Magic: Drak Blood Alliance

[sur.nhm]

As promised, some of the DBA's descriptions:

After a long hiatus, I'm back! I'll have some new ones by June 25.

Toad

In the middle of the Jungle of Life lies the Great Bog, dark and marshy. It is said that many a creature make their homes there.
The saurians of the Dark Blood tribe are known to capture and tame the Bog's giant Toads, riding their backs and using them as war elephants of sorts; it is known that they use special lures to make the Toads strike enemies with their long, sticky tongues.

Wyvren

From the marshy lands of the Great Bog hail the bloodthirsty Wyvrens. These majestic beasts of prey, which are said to be the offspring of the great Dragons of old, are captured by the Dark Blood saurians, which use them as shock troopers of sorts. They are subjected to torture by fire, making them even more crazed and bloodthirsty than Nature intended, and released upon the Tribe's mulitple enemies.

Quite nice, I like the style of your writing... sophisticated without coming across and being overdone. There are a few things I'd like to point out, however:

It is said that many a creature make their homes there.

This seems rather irrelevant and choppy, considering the rest of the description.

using them as mounts, riding their backs

This is rather redundant, imo.

making them even more crazed and bloodthirsty than what Nature meant

I think it might sound better if you wrote "than Nature intended."

[Christheturtle]

using them as mounts, riding their backs and using them as war elephants of sorts.

It's all very good, perhaps think of a way to reword this though? It seems to me as if it's a somewhat long winded way of saying 'they ride them'. (Obviously you wouldn't write that)

But still, nice.

Here's a new one:

Shaman Adept

If the Dark Blood Tribe is known for something, it's their shamanistic magic. Those saurians who choose to learn it are usually frail of body and unfit to do battle physically. However, their control of water magicks is invaluable in battle, both to heal their allies, and to hurl balls of semi-frozen water at their foes.

[johndh]

Semi-frozen water?

[sur.nhm]

Semi-frozen water?

Yes. The attack is named 'Waterball', but liquid water dosen't do this much damage (5-4).

[Fog]

I don't think that makes it semi-frozen. I don't think there is such a thing, but WINR.

A fixed version with the new attack name:

Shaman Adept

If the Dark Blood Tribe is known for something, it's their shamanistic magic. Those saurians who choose to learn it are usually frail of body and unfit to do battle physically. However, their control of water magicks is invaluable in battle, both to heal their allies, and to hurl balls of ice at their foes.

[Hulavuta]

I don't know if you intended to spell it "Magicks" Like having it spelled differently changes its meaning from a trick to "actual" magical powers, (like in Final Fantasy) but if that's not the case, then it's a misspelling.

That is no misspelling, it's intended. I've put it there as a synonym-ish for 'spells'.

Corrupted Shaman

Some of the Dark Blood Shamans get corrupted. By who, or what, nobody knows, but it makes them exchange their Water Magic for that of its polar opposite - Fire. They lose their healing abilities, but they don't seem to care, as they say that Fire is inherently supirior to Water.
Whatever corrupts them changes their personalities, too, making them selfish and cruel. As a result, they are shunned from their tribes, which exile them to the heart of the Great Bog. Forced to wander the Bog for years, they usually make their way out and hire themselves to some of the morally bankrupt Tribes.
