What numerical value should we enter for a critter's health, baby health or adult health? So far, it looks like baby health is consistant. But, adult health often varies by a significant amount, among individuals of the same species.

I think I just answered my own question, but I don't want to take a chance of getting it wrong.

Hrm... well, I would think and approximation for adult health would be the most helpful.

These days, babies are as healthy as they are going to get. They don't get any stronger as they grow. I think I was looking at bolmas, when I notice that the baby's health was 5915, while the health of the adults in that lair varied between 5522 and 6392.

Because I have a Creature Handler's perspective, I would just as soon see the baby's health be recorded. That is the health of the animal that I'm actually going to use. But, I realize there are multiple ways of looking at the issue. That's why I was concerned.

For the numbers that I happened to record, (it was not a statistically valid sample) the baby health falls near the middle of the range of adult health.

I always enter a baby's health if one is available. If all I have are adults to go by, I try to figure out a rough average and round to the nearest multiple of 100 so that it is more obvious it is not exact.

Adult health is about a 10% varience of a base amount, which happens to be the same as what babies spawn with. (Prior to Publish 21, I always entered a baby's health * 10 for the same reason.) As Eklo says, we're most interested in babies as well, so for both reason I think this gives us the best number to go by.

I've always entered the babies' info as well, if they have babies of course. If not I'll just leave it blank until I can find enough to get an idea of what the average is.
