[QUOTE="vraad, post: 520278, member: 4889"] Hello once again. After all the encouragement from my Smilodon and Dinofelis conversions (made the change to beast by the way), I decided to take a shot at one of the prehistoric creatures I still needed from my list. I found most of my want list from the Creature Catalog. When I set about doing this creation I looked very closely at the Entilodont. Considering that Andrewsarchus was supposed to be the largest carnivorous land mammel, I made him a little bigger and meaner. I will also admit ot a little confusion with the number of attacks this beast gets. He equates to a 9th level cleric (+6/+1). Did I do the attacks correctly? Comments welcome and appreciated. :D Andrewsarchus Huge-Size Beast Hit Dice: 13d10+78 (150 hp) Initiative: +2 (Dex) Speed: 50 ft. AC: 14 (-2 size, +2 Dex, +4 natural) Attacks: 2 bite +14/+9 (+6/+1 Base, +8 Str, -2 size) Damage: bite 2d6+8 Face/Reach: 10 ft. by 20 ft./10 ft.

Despite having little hooves instead of claws, this animal has developed enormously long and powerful jaws with crushing teeth. Combat Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the andrewsarchus must hit with its bite attack. If it gets a hold, it can crush its victim. Crushing Bite (Ex): An andrewsarchus that gets a hold can do additional crushing damage for 1d8 +8 damage.
