I was going to base it on the Baby Red Dragon but that is more powerful than I expected so I will have to customise the stats myself...Hp 50 (ish, it is a Solo monster)AC ?=5 (HR says +5 not +10)+BAB(0/1)+Dex(-1/-2)+Natural armour(0/1) (a pitiful 3/4/5)Strength=12-14? (It is a big mass of muscle)Dexterity=6-8? (It is agile but young and cumbersome)Constitution=12-14? (It is a big mass of muscle)Intelligence=4-12? (it may be an animal but it can use tactics)Wisdom=12-14 (it has good senses, should this have a low Wis and a High Spot/Listen bonus?)Charisma=erm? (I never know what to put here for non-humanoid monsters, 0 diplomacy, resist handle animal?)It is a Medium (Long) (2 tiles, Large or Medium Long, I can't remember)The Invisibility gives it 50% Miss Chance (25% to the Warrior)It can leap from place to place and land silently as a cat (High Jump and Move Silently skills) which makes it almost impossible to fight, I hope the players will remember the rain outside, if not once a character (or the monster) is Hit I will have an NPC suggest the combat be taken into the rain (which I don't really know what to do with, does the Invisibility reduce to 0% or 20% or what?) and then, when the monster is Bloodied, the Rain stops but Magical Lighting creates a glow around the Monster (0% Miss Chance?).I want the monster to rarely hit but hit hard when it does, so I am thinking 2 Claws (1d6), 1 Bite (1d4) and a Primary Tail attack (1d4) (I want this to be a Vorpal Tail strike, piercing damage until it hits a Natural 20 then Slashing damage and death (I want to kill a few NPCs with this OOC) but this may be bad for the PCs, thoughts?), maybe a Slam attack, but what would be a good Hit rating?Sorry for the wall of text, confusing wall of text perhaps...1) Hp=50, too High/Low? AC=3/4/52) What does the Rain do to Greater Invisibility? What does the Magical Glow do?3) Is Vorpal too strong for a One-off Monster? Would it be OK if the Tail attack was the Monsters Secondary attack instead of it's Primary attack?4) Should it have a Slam attack? (I don't think it can Bite and Slam at the same time but it seems like it should still have it)5) What would be good stats for a baby? especially Charisma...I know with this many uncertainties I should probably just abandon the whole thing but I really like the idea (until 20 people respond with "Forget it, it already sounds like a Level 19 encounter" <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" /> )Thanks for any help on the matterEDIT: Yea a Wall of Text and I never mentioned this is for a Level 1 group, a Warrior (probably a Fighter, despite my best efforts, with Blind-Fight), a Ranger (probably 2WF) and two other players and a Custom class NPC (I haven't worked out the full powers and it kinda depends on the party's needs but it will most likely be a Warrior/Healer type)</blockquote>
