[QUOTE="Blacksway, post: 107041, member: 1337"] Thanks, just some points.. a) The attack bonuses and base saves can easily be worked out from the relevant character or the PHB table 3-1 - if the monster is under 20HD. However this one isn't and so I was suprised to see that there was a formula used to extrapolate (rather than the almost correct guessing I did) b) Erica gave this formula for low base save, I was wondering if there was a similar forumla for good saves (for when you need to go above 20HD) c) I know the 'standard' reach is 25ft. However is there not a case for none-standard reach, I mean have you seen this thing its huge. 170ft wingspan (minus body thats roughly 75ft of wing on each arm). In this case I thought an extended reach was justified? Perhaps something to say it cannot use its slam attacks on creatures who've made it within 20ft? d) I was also considering adding the Trample special attack, which I think is justified don't you :) Oh, and finally (because I like to get on peoples nerves by being pedantic) I have the pdf monster creation of the dragon annual CD so page refs aren't much use, sorry :) [/QUOTE]
