Shade
Monster Junkie
It gets 27 skill ranks. How about Hide 6, Jump 9, Spot 7, Tumble 5? This way it gets a +2 synergy bonus on Jump checks.
These ranks would make its skill modifiers Hide +10 (-8 while Huge, +12 while Diminutive), Jump +18 plus racial bonus, Spot +9, Tumble +9.
If we give it a +12 racial bonus to Jump checks, it would have a Jump modifier of +30, allowing it to leap 30 ft. without rolling, and 50 ft. on a 20. I'd say we've accounted for the fact that it originally could leap 50 ft.
However....
Normally, it would have a -12 penalty for having a speed of 10 ft. (-6 for every 10 ft. less than 30 ft.) Perhaps we could make a note in the powerful leap ability that the memory web does not suffer these penalties?
Should we mention that entangle does not provoke an attack of opportunity?
