The Leap of the Lion should be DC 14.

Apart from that it's good to go.

Amiraspian Griffon Rider Novice

(bafflingly the previous novice disappeared too!)

Somehow the Battleaxe has lost the spaces on either side of the "+" for one-handed damage and the same's happened for the Longbow.

It should be:

Battleaxe. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) slashing damage, or 8 (1d10 + 3) slashing damage if used with two hands.

Longbow. Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 150/600 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d8 + 1) piercing damage.​

Hold on a sec, why does the D&D Beyond Gallant have (Any Race) as a tag in its Size and Type line?

That should be cut out, leaving Medium humanoid, any non-lawful alignment.


The Griffon Rider Novice is fine though.

Will deblue the Novice Griffon Rider update the Completed Fifth Edition Creatures Index and White Dwarf Conversion Index.

The Griffon Rider Gallant will be added to the Completed Index once that extraneous tag is removed.

weird...fixed now

Speaking of weird, the D&D Beyond Amiraspian Griffon Rider now has the same "lost the spaces on either side of the +" problem that the Novice had, while I could have sworn the previous version had normal spacing.

That is, the proper formatting would be:

Battleaxe. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) slashing damage, or 9 (1d10 + 4) slashing damage if used with two hands.

Longbow. Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, range 150/600 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d8 + 2) piercing damage.​

Plus it's got the wonky paragraph formatting in the Description with the paragraph after Knights of the Air not being flush with the rest.

Do you want to bother fixing it, or just continue as it is?

Considering how much pain the Description was I can understand if you'd rather take the latter option!

Amiraspian Griffon Rider


(I think what has happened is that I was using one of the statblocks as a template for the others and they've all become confused on Latest Published Versions. Anyway, once done these won't be fiddling with them again and nearly done)
