[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5424773, member: 57383"] Not quite. Firstly, there's an "x" for weight. I'd guess about 200 lbs. A large Komodo Dragon is ~150 lbs but a scythetail has a larger body in proportion to its tail, so I imagine it's heavier. Secondly, there's a few typos:[INDENT]...Females raise the scythetail young in an [S][COLOR=Red][B]insolated[/B][/COLOR][/S] isolated cavern, though most die in their early stages. A scythetail is about 7 feet long, 3 feet of which is tail. It weighs [S][COLOR=Red][B]x[/B][/COLOR][/S] 200 pounds. Although [S][COLOR=Red][B]quadrupedel[/B][/COLOR][/S] quadrupedal, it is capable of walking on its hind legs. *** [B]Improved Grab (Ex):[/B] To use this ability, a [S][B][COLOR=Red]scythetailmust[/COLOR][/B][/S] scythetail must hit... [/INDENT]Thirdly, the combat entry says Scythetails "will follow prey tirelessly for days while waiting for an advantage with which to strike" but these creatures have no means to follow a trail. I suggest giving them Scent, Track as a bonus feat, and the wolflike "+4 racial bonus on Survival checks to track by scent" ability. Fourthly, it's ineligible for Multiattack as it only has 2 attacks - maybe make it Multiattack (B) and Track? Fifthly, where are its skills? [/QUOTE]
