[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 8189503, member: 5889"] On the Priest, I really don't like the separate spell lists, especially that the two lists have different save DCs and one side has components and the other doesn't. As a DM running this.... ug :( I would just merge the list as all innate casts and a single DC. Treat it more like a divine soul sorc with subtle casting if you need that to fit your internal flavor for the creature, but I would shy away from the two lists with a 10 foot pole. On the Guardian, the current wording is fine but if you wanted to integrate it more into your base stats, you could have serpent sentinel just use the constrict as its opportunity attack. That would also mean that large creatures are immune from the speed drop, which could actually be a nice benefit for PCs utilizing large size (aka the opposite of what I suggested for the Dragon Turtle). On the Elder, something I've noted in the core MM1 book for Githyanki. Technically that plane shift spell can be used offensively as well as defensively (which for Githyanki is bonkers for their CR). Now for a CR 12, plane shifting a PC is not the worse thing in the world, but it can be very campaign altering.
