[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8875353, member: 57383"] Okay, next we have [B]Armor Class[/B] 21 (see equipment). And in equipment is… nothing that provides any AC modifiers. Isn't it more usual to list the armour-relevant equipment in the AC, not just put in a reference, such as, I don't know "[B]Armor Class[/B] 21 ([I]armor of the dead, ring of protection[/I])". I notice there's mention of a [I]black robe of the archmagi[/I] in Magic Resistance, but (a) that item would give AC 16 with your Dodkong's DEX 13 (+1) or AC 17 if you used the (+2) Dexterity modifier it's listed as having for some reason. That Dex bonus is a point too high. Indeed, ALL its ability bonuses are a point higher than their scores should give them (STR 23 gives +6 not +7, all the way to CHA giving +4 not +5). Why is this? Wouldn't it be easier to increase all the Dodkong's ability scores by 2 and have the same bonuses. Also, I just mispelled its name to "Dongkink", briefly wondered how I could possibly have mistyped it so badly, then corrected it. I suspect a monster with that name has difficulty being respected by PCs. [/QUOTE]
