I'd rather raise the damage than give them augmented critical - it says their horns are big, but there's nothing about them being sharp.A regular boar's tusks are 1d8, going to Large would make them 2d6.Make the armor boar's tusks 2d8?Statwise I'm thinking we should increase the Constitution. A Large Advanced Boar has Con 21 and a Dire Boar Con 17, so how about Con 19?What armour class do you fancy for them, the original's AC 3 translates to AC 17 in 3E, but I could see it going a bit higher, probably +12 NA or so, halfway between a Dire Boar's +6 NA and a Razor Boar's +17 NA.I'll put in +8 NA for the time being to match the original's AC.Maybe throw in DR X/- or light fortification as well?Are we keeping it a poor Will save regular animal or making it a Dire animal?Anyhow, here's a rough draft:Armor BoarLarge AnimalHit Dice: 7d8+28 (59 hp)Initiative: +0Speed: 40 ft.
