Stick with DC 10 or add a racial bonus?

10 is OK. The original used an unadjusted Saving Throw.

We just need...

Organization: x
A group of mice is called a 'horde' or a 'mischief'. So maybe...
Solitary, mischief (2-12), or horde (13-100)?

Challenge Rating: x

I was assuming they were pretty solitary creatures, but if you want them to cluster in big groups I'm OK with it.

Hmm... if they amass in hordes, do those hordes ever congregate into Swarms...

I don't think I'm ready to go there.

Any ideas on CR? That venom packs a whallop! Its DC is low, but the mouse can bite twice with a full attack.

Either CR1 or ½.

It's pretty tough to hit with AC 20, but one blow should kill it.

It's slow enough to be easy to run away from, but its stupendous Hide skill means it's almost certain to get close enough to attack before it's noticed.

Let's say 1 for the sake of argument.

I'm ok with either CR. To be honest, I think they're more of a threat when followed by some other monster.

Let's err on the side of caution and go with CR 1.

Updated. Finished?
