[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 1331834, member: 6562"] Woah! That's a lot of goodies for a 1 HD, 1/4 CR critter! Type: is it supposed to be an Animal? I'd make it of type Fey or Magical Beast. Fey get a lot more skill points, but only a d6 HD. Suggestion: make it type Fey. Max HP -- whaaa? And a full HD? This is a TINY critter, right? Correction: make it 1/2 max hp. Fly 60 (perfect) -- this is just crazy talk. (Perfect) is for things that fly magically and literally have perfect control of their motion -- they can stop, make 90 degree turns without slowing down, move at full speed straight up, etc. -- things like Lantern Archons and Beholders. Not things with wings. Secondly, your (perfect) kitty will NOT need Wingover or Hover. Suggestion: tame it back to (average). I assume "Stoop" should be "Swoop", but in either case, it seems like an odd ability for a little kitty. "Pounce" might be better, since it's what larger cats get -- Lions, Panthers, etc. -- and it's an existing mechanism. SQ: Some are good, but some are vastly overpowered. Detect Evil? And then do what, "meow" until the nice Elves kill the evil? Darkvision 120 ft. is what Drow get. Drow are evil magic critters that live in darkness all the time. These cats should NOT get that level of 'weapons-grade' Darkvision... in fact, I don't think they should get ANY Darkvision. Do other Fey critters get Darkvision? I don't know of any that do.
