One thing that I have added to Scorpionmen in my game is a skill of 'Lots of Legs' just to capture the feeling of RQ when you used to fight a scorpionman and hit nothing but legs, whilst he continued to sting and stab at you. This skill can be used as a defense against most attack and as an augment for climbing, running etc. This skill is useful for many multiple limbed creatures, walktapi, gaint centipedes etc.
I am actually quite a fan of AR, but I generally feel that many of the edges were far too low for my liking and invariably I double them to increase the challenge to my players. I work on the rule of thumb that if it scared my players in RQ it is fine to beef up its HW stats to scare them in this game.
