Large, scaly, and bat-winged, Ragama serve as flying mounts in the armies of the evil Darkkings. With a wingspan averaging around 9 feet, these beasts of burden carry alia, karnyk, and even the Darkkings themselves into combat. Their black scaly hide is almost dragonesque, and it serves them well as armor when ground troops shoot up at them in an effort to bring them down.

COMBAT
Although ragama are normally used as mounts, they are quite capable of fighting themselves.
Electric discharge (Sp): A ragama’s talons are charged with electricity. When they hit with their claw attack (which they may only do whilst airborne) they deal an extra 1d4 electrical damage. Once every 1d rounds, they may also shoot of a bolt of electricity, which extends in a 5ft wide line for 30ft. Anyone caught in the blast takes 3d6 electrical damage (half on a successful Reflex save; DC 18).

This belongs in the homebrews section, but alas.

The attack bonuses should be reduced by 1, due to it's size penalty. Bite damage should be 1d8+7 (str bonus) and claw damage should be 1d6+3 (str bonus divided by 2). Other than that, I can see nopthing wrong with it.
 

You are right, of course, Krishanth. I forgot about the size mod. and couldn't do my math properly on the Str bonus. And, please move this to homebrews:rolleyes:
 



The Will save bonus should be +3 (magical beasts have poor Will saves) and the monster should have 2 less skill ranks. The reach should be 5 ft by 10 ft/5 ft.
