What is with animals and using swords? I dunno if this is some crazy IC secret or sumthing... but I wouldent think some animals can use a scimitar all that well... Is this an error, or should be rped as a commenly seen thing?

I think the only reasonable explanation for this would have to be these animals are picking up the weaponry of their slain victims just by code flaw.  But who knows...

I think some animals could wield weapons in the darksun D&D.

I could be wrong . . .

Are there reptiles that have opposable thumbs?  Because without opposable thumbs, there's no way they could wield.  Or, say, flush the toilet.

Hey folks. I went through, and edited out some of the IC references to particular specific beasts, and the abilities they may, or may not have. Not everyone may have had the same experience ecountering the beasts you have, and so, lets not spoil any surprises by discussing them, in specific detail, on the boards.

Also: Mansa is wrong.

I suggest reading over the Animal Life Documentation (http://www.armageddon.org/general/beasts.html) carefully, which could help you make some good presumptions about the various abilities of Common animals around the Known World.
