Wasn't sure what to change, since it was pointed out there is an official version. When I make monster stat block I like to add in PA after the attacks, put any modifiers in the feats that I need, and give the ranks/final bonus to skills ...

Code:

[u]Fire Lizard[/u]
Melee:			Bite +17 (2d6+8) and 2 claws +16 (1d8+8)
Power Attack:		Bite +14 (2d6+14) and 2 claws +13 (1d8+14)

Feats:			Ability Focus (breath weapon), Cleave, Power Attack (-3/+6), 
                        Skill Focus (Stealth), Weapon Focus (bite)
Skills:			Stealth 10/8 ... oops, 10/11 (d20pfsrd version has +11 
                        ... OH once you put 10 ranks in you get +6, not +3!)

Often mistaken for true dragons, these beasts have a hint of intelligence
and cunning.  No one is quite sure of their origins, whether by some 
promiscuous red dragons or through an arcane breeding program.

In case you want the CC again, darjr was able to put up our copies of the old conversions (we just can't upload any new ones yet). They're here:

Links! graci!

d20pfsrd ... doh! I was only looking at the PFRD. thanks again!

which version do I like better ... hmm, I like both. Re-update to FGG/Scott's PF version and keep the 'False Dragon' [edit: with the d20pfsrd tweaks]-- I like that one.

Ok, monster people ... help me out here.

The fire lizard at d20pfsrd has it's attacks at the primary attack rate, so both bite and claws are primaries, right? -- ok so I answered my own question. But, I put enough time into typing this out I'm still going post it!

GM:

Had a stealth question, but apparently my simple math skills failed. [edit: WAIT!]

I do have a question and/or observation: 10 ranks + 3 feat +3 class skill -4 size = 12, ~11. Or did I miss something.

One of those days ... 10 ranks +3 feat +3 class skill -8 size = +8 Stealth skill, not +11.

Missed something? like 10 ranks in skill + skill focus gets you +6 not +3? Yup, I missed that.
