This proposal does away with the Creature Page and moves everything to the GNDT. It also does away with Creature Names.

Create five GNDT columns, called “Br”, “Bo”, “Ap”, “Fa”, and “Un”. Assign to them the values that are appropriate (according to the new text of Rule 2.2 below) to reflect Lifeforms’ current Evolutionary Variable levels, according to The Creature Page.

Remove everything in Rule 2.2 that comes before Rule 2.2.1. Renumber Rule 2.2.1 Evolutionary Variables to Rule 2.2 Evolutionary Variables. Then replace everything up to and including the colon in Rule 2.2 with:

Evolutionary Variables are tracked in “Levels”. Each Evolutoinary Variable is tracked in a GNDT column whose name is the first two letters of that Evolutionary Variable. Each Lifeform, by default, is “Level 0” in every Evolutionary Variable. The only exception to this rule is “Brain Size”, in which each lifeform, by default, is “Level 1”.

  * Brain Size
  * Body Mass
  * Appendages
  * Facial Features
  * Unique Ability

Any time a lifeform increases one of eir evolutionary variables as outlined in this rule, the following must first be done by em:
