[QUOTE="frankthedm, post: 3436260, member: 1164"] It was the dire polar bear actually. It has a cap of 45 HD, winding up being a CR20. The wolly mammoth has a cap of 28 HD. Be carefull with this one, High HD advancment does not always follow CR expectations. As always Playtest feedback is apreciated. This thing preys on giants and whales and takes dolphins as easily as a grizzly takes salmon. A frost giant Jarl might even hire near epic PCs to deal with this menace. Basic tactics; [I]Always take -20 when grappling to use only the grabbing natural weapon. Use the snatch feat with spring attack to grab Prey with bite and Move away. Can't grab??? Prey fighting back??? Power attack for 20.
