Any creature that enters this square (including other spittle boars) must succeed at a DC X Reflex save or fall, this save is repeated each round the creature remains within the area. A creature can walk within or through the area of greasy spittle at half normal speed with a DC 10 Balance check. Failure means it can't move that round (and must then make a Reflex save or fall), while failure by 5 or more means it falls (see the Balance skill for details).Looks good. I'd also like to leave the Spittle Boar's AC and damage dice the same as a regular-sized boar, rather than "embiggening" them.Spittle BoarLarge AnimalHit Dice: 5d8+18 (40 hp)Initiative: +0Speed: 40 ft.

Let's give them Dex 13 for the sake of argument.Any idea what a sand cow looks like?Do they have horns to gore with or do they bite like a camel?If you don't know, I think they should have a slam attack, since it doesn't seem quite right for a "cow" to bite or gore opponents.Oh, and their Champion morale makes me want to give them a bonus on saves vs. fear. Sand CowLarge Animal  Hit Dice: 3d8+6 (19 hp)  Initiative: +1  Speed: 40 ft.
