Ok, I'm trying to get my hands on a copy of Dungeon's last issue, but it's hard since I'm like a 45 minute drive from anywhere that might sell it in their magazine racks.
Can someone with the issue answer me a question about the klurichir's stats in the issue?
Here's the problem, I want to know how the editors handled the mess the Klurichir Demon's attack routine is:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to its write-up in Fiend Folio:
ATTACK ROUTINE: It has 4 claws, but no where in the stat block does it give its claw damage. It only gives the attacks it makes with one battleaxe. Legally, it should be able to make 4 attacks with the battleaxe and 3 claw attacks as a full attack action. Does the issue give it a damage rating for the claws?
It then states OR two pincer attacks. But it should be allowed to make 2 pincer attacks along with its full attack, according to the rules for secondary attacks. However, according to the wording, it's saying it can either make an attack with its axe and claws OR its pincers, not both. Can it do battle axe/claws/pincer attacks as a full attack or can it only do them separately?
It then says it can also make a bite attack if it has you grappled by its pincers, but it doesn't give the damage for the bite attack nor does it give an attack bonus for the bite attack. Is the bite attack an extra secondary natural weapon it can use, or can it only attack with a bite if you've been grappled by its pincers? Does it deal automatic bite damage or does it make an attack roll?
It says it can make a spine attack as a ranged attack, but it doesn't say what action it takes to make a spine attack. Is it a free action or standard action? Can it use its spines as part of a full attack? It also doesn't say the range of the spine attack anywhere.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
My question is, is any of this fixed or addressed in the issue with the creature? Thanks to whomever can answer this for me. I'm curious. This is my favorite demon and I'd like to know how the problems with it were handled, if they were handled at all.
