APPEARING: 1-2ARMORCLASS: 2MOVE: 24”HIT DICE: 2+3% IN LAIR: 20%TREASURE TYPE: NilNO. OF ATTACKS: 4DAMAGE ATTACK: 1-6 / 1-6 / 1-4 / 1-4SPECIAL ATTACKS: Ferocity may stun or cause fearSPECIAL DEFENSES: NilMAGIC RESISTANCE: StandardINTELLIGENCE: AnimalALIGNMENT: Chaotic NeutralSIZE: S (3’ tall)PSIONIC ABILITY: NilAttack/Defense Modes: Nil/NilLEVEL/XP VALUE: II/65+  3/hpThis three-foot-tall mammalian carnivore relies on blinding speed and ferocity to stun and panic its prey. It is dull-witted, attacking regardless of the size of its victim, and slow to respond to the unexpected. It resembles a hyena but with oversized hind legs. The multiple attacks represent two jaw and two claw attacks per round. A victim must roll his charisma or less on Id20 to avoid being stunned or panicked. If the roll fails, roll ld6. 1-4 indicates that the victim is stunned for one melee round; 5-6 indicates panic, and the victim runs from the attack for two rounds.Now my 3E version.Feral SlasherSmall BeastHit Dice: 2d10+4 (15 hp)Initiative: +9 (Dex)Speed: 60 ft.AC: 20 (+1 Size, +9 Dex)Attacks: Bite +11 melee, 2 claws +6 meleeDamage: Bite 1d6, claw 1d4Face/Reach: 5 ft. by 5 ft./5 ft.Special Attacks: Ferocity, frightful presence, pounce, rageSpecial Qualities: Fear immunity, scentSaves: Fort +5, Ref +12, Will -1Abilities: Str 11, Dex 28, Con 14, Int 2, Wis 8, Cha 14Skills: Climb +5Feats: Weapon Finesse (bite, claws)Climate/Terrain: Temperate hills and mountainsOrganization: SolitaryChallenge Rating: 3Treasure: NoneAlignment: Always neutralAdvancement: 3-4 HD (small); 5 HD (medium)A feral slasher is a small but dangerous creature resembling a hyena but with oversized hind legs.  They stand about 3 feet tall and weigh over 60 pounds.CombatFeral slashers attack anything that enters their territory, even other feral slashers. They rely on blinding speed and ferocity to stun and panic their prey and will continue to attack until they or their target are dead.  In a combat, they react poorly to changes, and will fixate on their nearest target to the exclusion of all others.  Once that target is dealt with, the feral slasher will then attack the nearest remaining creature.Feral slashers attack by biting their target with their powerful jaws and then tearing at them with their razor-sharp claws.Pounce (Ex): If a feral slasher leaps upon a foe during the first round of combat, it can make a full attack even if it has already taken a move action.Ferocity (Ex): A feral slasher is such a tenacious combatant that it continues to fight without penalty even while disabled or dying (see page 129 in the Player’s Handbook).Frightful Presence (Ex): A feral slasher unsettles foes with its mere presence  The ability takes effect automatically whenever the creature attacks, or charges.  Creatures within a radius of 30 feet with fewer Hit Dice or levels than the feral slasher must make a successful Will save with a DC of 10 + 1/2 the feral slasher’s HD + the feral slasher’s Charisma modifier (13).  On a failure, the creatures are frightened.Rage (Ex): A feral slasher that takes damage in combat flies into a berserk rage on its next turn, clawing and biting madly until either it or its opponent is dead.  An enraged feral slasher gains +4 Strength, +4 Constitution, and –2 AC.  The feral slasher cannot end its rage voluntarily.</blockquote>
