I checked my extensive PDF collection, and only found small references to Jane Foster in the Marvel Phile Information that Dragon Magazine had come out with. But no statistics.

GIANT SOLDIER ANT (PL 5)Giant ant queen are immense creatures, with bloated bodies filled with eggs. They are often so large that they cannot travel through the tunnels created in the underground ant nests.
GIANT WORKER ANT (PL 3)Soldier ants remain near the hives unless directed to conquest by the queen. If the colony is in a particularly dangerous area with many predators, the soldiers will accompany lines of workers as they collect food for the colony. Some soldier ants have even been seen to make tunnels of their own bodies in which the workers pass with complete safety.
Worker ants perform most of the labor of the colony, including building new tunnels in the nest, collecting food, and tending to the young ants.
DIRE APE (PL 6)Apes – also called gorillas – are animals composing the largest of the primates. An adult male ape is 5-1/2 to 6 feet tall and weighs 300 to 400 pounds. These animals are heavily-muscled and incredibly strong. Their bones are also very dense. While this makes it unlikely they will break a bone, the density also prevents apes from swimming.
Apes move about by knuckle-walking. They tend to put on violent displays of aggression to warn away intruders to their territory. They will only attack if they are truly threatened, but will usually give chase to those who run away from their aggressive displays.
They are an herbivorous race of ground-dwelling creatures who gather in small communities for protection. Apes dwell in tropical and subtropical forests.
Dire apes are more savage and bestial versions of the generally peaceful gorilla. They tend to attack anything that enters their territory without warning. A dire ape stands about 9 feet tall and weighs from 800 to 1,200 pounds.
Aranea are a race of shape-shifting magical beasts that can transform between the appearance of a human and a giant spider. In their natural form, these creatures appear to be giant spiders with a pair of long arms ending in many-jointed fingers and double-jointed thumbs.
Despite their terrifying appearance, the aranea are a peaceful race of beings. They feed on animals and do not prey upon sentient creatures to live. These beings live far from civilized society, as they are hunted by those who do not understand them. They tend to dwell in deep forests, jungles, and isolated islands.
Aranea society is matriarchal, usually ruled by the queen who gave birth to the community. They will occasionally go into other communities disguised as healers or barbarians to trade or – when the situation warrants doing so – take a new mate to prevent inbreeding.
All aranea are capable of using magical spells. They tend to prefer magic that creates illusions and enchantment effects. They dislike magical that is fire-based.
A friend of mine is going to run a "bad-girls" superhero game (ala the 90's character trope). This is the character I am thinking about playing. Her powers will eventually branch out to include a bio-electrical feedback that can hurt anyone who is touched by two duplicates at the same time. I would like to have included it from the start, but buying Multiple Minions is really expensive in the 3rd edition.
Hound archons are the well-disciplined soldiers and sentinels of their heavenly realm. They are well-trained in the fight against evil and show no mercy to fiends. Against mortals, however, they are loath to use lethal force, even against those dedicated to evil. They believe that mortals should be the judges of their own kind while on the mortal world.
Hound archons look like well-muscled humans with canine heads. They can also assume the form of a wolf, dog, or other canine. While on the mortal world, these archons often assume a canine form to subtly help good mortals as a “clever pet.”

Lantern archons appear as floating balls of light that glow about as brightly as a torch. Only their destruction can extinguish the glow, though they can try to hide it.
Lantern archons are friendly beings who are curious about mortals and the mortal world. Most lantern archons never leave the heavenly realm from which they originate; always serving as custodians and guides for mortal souls that have passed into the heavens. A few find their way to the mortal world, either by being summoned forth or through a random planar gate.
Despite their “lowly” status, lantern archons are content with their existence. They love to help those in need and work well with others. The bravery of these creatures often leads them to be promoted into other forms of archons.
I love how lantern archons are depicted in Order of the Stick.
Trumpet archons serve as the messengers of the gods of good and the heralds of the heavenly armies. When the gods of the heavenly realms require mortals to know their will, they send forth a trumpet archon to deliver the message.
A trumpet archon appears to be a beautiful humanoid being with pale skin, white hair and feathered wings, and eyes the color of gleaming pearls. Each trumpet archon carries a gleaming silver trumpet about 6 feet long; often adorned with the symbol of their patron deity. This trumpet can transform into a magical sword at the whim of its bearer.
The assassin vine is a semi-mobile plant that collects its own grisly fertilizer by grabbing and crushing animals and depositing the carcasses near its roots.
A mature plant consists of a main vine, about 20 feet long. Smaller vines up to 5 feet long branch off from the main vine about every 6 inches. These small vines bear clusters of leaves, and in late summer they produce bunches of small fruits that resemble wild grapes. The fruit is tough and has a hearty but bitter flavor. Assassin vine berries make a heady wine.
An assassin vine can move about, albeit very slowly, but usually stays put unless it needs to seek prey in a new vicinity.
A subterranean version of the assassin vine grows near hot springs, volcanic vents, and other sources of thermal energy. These plants have thin, wiry stems and gray leaves shot through with silver, brown, and white veins so that they resemble mineral deposits. An assassin vine growing underground usually generates enough offal to support a thriving colony of mushrooms and other fungi, which spring up around the plant and help conceal it.
Every 4 ranks of Growth increases one size by one size rank. As apes are Large in the SRD, I have just done the simple conversion to do the same.Thorpacolypse wrote:Great stuff as always Prodigy Duck, but I have one nitpick. With the new 3E Growth, 4 ranks puts you about 12 feet tall. That probably seems a bit much for a regular ape. I figured up that 2 ranks of Growth gives about the same size as 4 did in 2E, even if it doesn't quite give you all the strength.
That Assassin Vine is great. It's swiped for a game I have coming shortly for sure!
