Looking through the list of errors I see a few patterns that should help us be more accurate in the future. Knowing what's wrong helps prevent more mistakes.One thing I think you may be incorrect in your assessment concerning the sole natureal weapon giving 1.5 damage. This is how it's described in the MM, but that's not how it is actually used in the monsters in the MM.I think they meant to say only if the creature gets a single attack with a primary weapon. Look under the natural weapons section of Full Attack in the MM (p. 299) that explains how each individual arm on a treant is considered a primary weapon and how the 1.5str only applies to creatures with one primary weapon so treant's don't get str1.5. Another example is Earth Elementals: when they're only getting a single full attack with a primary natural weapon they get str1.5 damage, but once their full attack becomes 2 attacks, they're getting straight str with a sole natural weapon. If you look through the MM it's pretty consistant in this manner. So, for our creatures that have only a sole natural weapon, but whose full attack is more than a single attack (showing that there's more than one primary), we followed the MM procedure. That takes off a healthy chunk from the monsters with errors list.Other than that you're correct in most of your statements. The only other thing I see is that the two deviant mimics have a listed +8 racial bonus it looks like you overlooked. You told us to watch our 1st level warriors, our incorporeals, and our advancements. We'll pay particular attention to them in the future.To answer a few other questions: There will be only a very few repeats (less than a dozen in the entire line). We're debating doing a 6th book about city monsters that would contain an index for all the books in the line as well.Again, thanks for the review!joe b.</blockquote>
