As I mentioned before, I'm basically writing up an entire movement form (compare the amount of text for Fly, which it was based on). The text about how much slide-grease it's got is probably something I'd ignore in play, since it's got enough to travel several thousand feet and that sort of thing's fiddly to keep track off, so feel free to cut it out before use.As for the Challenge Rating, I spent ages agonizing about it but decided that CR was about right based on a comparison with the Triceratops and the Purple Worm. Basically, the slide-rock bolter doesn't have very good Hide/Disguise/Move Silently bonuses, so most parties will Spot it coming and, if they have any sense, spread out before it hits them with a Gobbling Avalanche.Not to mention that a lot of parties that level have access to magical flight, so would just soar out of its reach and murderate it from out of its reach, at no risk to themselves since it is both landbound and without a ranged attack. Of course, against some 9th level parties it would be devastating - such as fighter-centered parties with low Spot - but many monsters are deadly against the right (or, wrong) type of party, and all fighter parties are very rare.</blockquote>
