Two points.
Sometimes they don't need re-written at all. I used walktapi pretty much straight from the book. They were about the strength I needed, and I saved a lot of time and effort.
Sometimes they only serve as inspiration. What sort of abilities does a boggle have? I can look up what someone else thinks. I might change it a bit, but it gives a good, strong basis. Saves me a bit of time and a lot of effort.
Cheers,
Graham
