[QUOTE="Richards, post: 9543919, member: 508"] It looks like its AC values are off, since a 20 Dex provides a +5 bonus, not +4 as listed. So, AC = 19, touch = 14, right? (Or am I missing something?) Likewise, a 22 Str provides a +6 bonus, so its tentacle damage should probably be 1d6+6 (including its constrict attack) and its bite damage should be 2d6+3 (as secondary attacks only get half of the Strength bonus). A 12-HD aberration should have a Base Attack Bonus of +9, not +10. That'll drop its grapple to +19 (+9 BAB, +4 size, +6 Str) and change its attacks to +14 melee for the tentacles (+9 BAB, -1 size, +6 Str) and I assume +9 melee for the bite (as it doesn't have the Multiattack feat). Also, aberrations have d8s for HD, so it should have 12d8+60 HD (114 hp). As for feats, Improved Grab is an attack, not a feat, so that frees up an extra feat if you want to give it Multiattack to get its bite attacks up to +12 melee. (Or pick a different fifth feat, as desired.) And whle we're at it, I'm not sure about Improved Counterspell - can the gloomflayer "counterspell" using its stolen spell-like abilities? I'm a little fuzzy on how that works. Johnathan [/QUOTE]
