[QUOTE="Krishnath, post: 489781, member: 56"] [color=lightblue]Not bad, but let's see... Creature type: Add subtype (Aven) Speed: land speed should be reduced to 20', but flight speed should be increased by the same amount. (to 60'), manouverability remains unchanged. AC: Aven should have a natural armor bonus due to their feathers, I think a +1 natural armor bonus should suffice. Attacks: should be glaive or some ranged attack (crossbow perhaps?), gauntlets does not make sense. Damage: you have listed glaive as their weapon under attacks, but longsword under damage, which is it? I suggest you go with the glaive, as it makes more sense for a flyer to use weapons with reach. Special Attacks: none Special Qualities: In addition to the Monstrous Humanoid special qualities (darkvision 50', does not need to be listed), the creature should have low-light vision. Skills: Monstrous Humanoids have skillpoints equal to 2xInt + 2 per EHD, or in the Avens case 22 skillpoints. I suggest you spend them on Spot (5 ranks), Search (5 ranks), and Listen (5 ranks), leaving you with 7 skillpoints to use on any two or three skills, remember that the Aven can have a maximum number of ranks equal to it's HD+3. Additionally the Aven should get a +8 racial bonus to spot checks during the daylight hours. (Same as hawk). Feats: I suggest going with [i]flyby attack[/i]. CR is roughly 1. ECL on the other hand is +3 (A first level Aven fighter roughly equals a 4th level character). Remember a 1st level Aven has 2d8+1d10 HD... I hope I was of assistance.[/color] [/QUOTE]
