Note: I'm not in this for Jedi-dom.

I'm a little confused about the new DNA requirements,I've heard that you need the specific type of DNA to build your critter. IE. Rancor DNA for Rancors, Kaadu DNA for Kaadu's etc etc.

Can someone shed some light on the new DNA requirements in the next update?

Sort of.

The actual look of the creature has nothing to do with the DNA used or Stats anymore. The DNA Template is generic now and not creature specific. This template is then placed in any of the skins we have available now.

However, if you want a Rancor like Creature, you are goingto have to use Rancor DNA to get stats very close to that Rancor. Using Gnort DNA inthe Template, then putting it in a Rancor skin, will just make a Gnort like Rancor.

The skin no longer effects the stats of the creature anymore. Everything depends on the DNA now.

Ahh, so using Rancor DNA in a Gnort will give a Rancor like Gnort? Thats pretty cool. (if I'm right). Its nice to have a profession were you actually need to think.

Using gnort dna will make a crappy rancor, not a gnort that looks like a rancor. Also, the cl of the rancor will still be very high so not just any character can use it, only a ch of decent level. But this is a lot more creative freedom than we have had...
