Based on critters.pl from the Microlite20 site, I modified it to work with the Mnemosyne System.
UPDATED:05/02/08 changed the srand function to something a bit more random. Didn't want to add the Meriseinne Twister module or the truly random perl module - that feels like overkill. Plus, I am a very novice perl scripter, no need to complicate matters.
As an aside, the creatures will have the same capabilities in MUSE, they will just have simplified statistics.
#!/usr/bin/perl
srand(time ^ $$ ^ unpack "%L*", `ps axww | gzip`);
$usage="usage: $0 number maxhd\n";
$ARGV[0]=~/^(\d+)$/ && ($numb = $1) || die $usage;
$ARGV[1]=~/^(\d+)$/ && ($smass = $1) || die $usage;
%rule = (
'W','CT CT CX CDF CVFT CDFU CTU IT ICT A',

);
for (1..$numb) { print &parse('W'), " : ", &stats, "\n\n"; }
sub parse {
$_=pop(@_);
/[^A-Z]/ && return $_;
@TMP=split(/\s+/, $rule{$_});
$_=splice(@TMP, rand @TMP, 1);
for (split('')) { print &parse($_); }
}
sub stats {
# $scl = int(rand()*$smass);
$scl = (rand>0.333? 0: int(rand()*$smass)-2);
$str = int(rand()*8)+3 + ($scl*2);
$ref = int(rand()*8)+3;
$hlt = int(rand()*8)+3;
$inq = int(rand()*8)+3;
$wil = int(rand()*8)+3;
$pre = int(rand()*8)+3;
$psi = int(rand()*8)+3;
$def = 10+$ref;
$ini = int(($ref+$inq)/2);
$tgh = int(($str+$wil)/2);
$lif = ($hlt*3)+($wil*2)+($scl*5);
$av = int(rand()*(20-$scl));
$mov = int(($str+$ref+$hlt)/3);
$dmg = int(rand()*4)+$str . 'd6';
$type = (rand>0.6?"By weapon":"Natural");
return "Scale $scl\n STR $str\t INT $inq\t PSI $psi\n REF $ref\t WIL $wil\n HLT $hlt\t PRE $pre\n DEF $def\t INI $ini\n TGH $tgh\t LIF $lif\t AV $av\n MOV $mov\n $type ($dmg)";
}
More to be done!
