I think I found a number of mistakes in the monster advancement example on page 292 of the 3.5 MM. Could you guys please check it out before I send it in as errata?
1. The otyugh goes from 6 HD to 15 HD. At 6 HD, he has a +4 to hit with his 2 tentacles and a a -2 to hit with his bite when making a full attack. He doesn't have the multiattack feat. Shouldn't he should have a -1 to hit with his bite, not a -2?
2. When the otyugh goes to 15 HD however, he takes the multiattack feat. His 2 tentacles are at +14 and his bite at +11 when making a full attack. Shouldn't it be +12 for the bite since the multiattack feat penalty is -2 for secondary attacks?
3. Additionally, under the 6 HD otyugh listing for full attack, bite -2 is listed twice as a typo.
4. The 15 HD version of the otyugh has it's abilities reconfigured to account for the size change, but not to account for the fact that he would have gained 2 extra ability points for being 15 HD. Of course, that could alter the skills and saves.
What do you think guys?
Thanks,
Nick
