This breath weapon targets all creatures within a 15-foot diameter, at a range of up to 60 feet. Targets of this pasty spew must make a DC 17 Reflex save or else be immobilized. Once struck by the Bonespew attack, the target can attempt to break free as a full round action by succeeding at a Strength check against DC 18, or an Escape Artist check against DC 21. The spew-covered victim can also be broken free of the hardened spit; in this case the bonespew has a hardness of 7 and 15 hit points. THINGs can project bonespew three times before emptying their throat-sack. Each Medium-sized skeleton they devour replenishes one use of the Bonespew attack. Consuming a Medium-sized skeleton takes one round, while digestion of a consumed skeleton takes 5 minutes before it can be used in a Bonespew attack. With access to a fresh supply of skeletons, a THING can use its Bonespew attack indefinitely, pausing only to consume and digest more ammunition.How does this compare with the feat of the same name?  It is only a Large creature, so it doesn't qualify for the Snatch feat.Snatch (Ex): A THING that hits a creature of at least Small size, but no larger than Medium size, with a tail slam attack and that does not use its Trip attack can attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If the THING achieves a hold, it can fly off with its prey and automatically make a claw attack each round in lieu of a tail attack. It can drop a snatched creature as a free action or use a standard action to fling it aside. A flung creature travels 50 feet and takes 5d6 points of damage. If the THING flings its prey while flying, the creature suffers the greater of this amount of damage (5d6) or falling damage. Falling-damage is 1 d6 per 10 feet, to a maximum of 20d6.How is this Trip writeup?Trip (Ex): The dexterity of the THING's tail also allows it to be used to trip opponents, a tactic the THING uses against opponents of Large size or greater. A THING that hits with a tail slam attack and does not use its Snatch attack can attempt to Trip its opponent as a free action without making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the THING.Does the Hide bonus part work OK?Skills: THINGs receive a +5 racial bonus to Listen and Move Silently checks. In addition, they also receive a +5 racial bonus to Hide if they are illuminated by anything less than daylight or a light spell, but take a -4 size penalty. These bonuses are figured into the THING's skill totals.Does this look allright?THINGs AS MOUNTSTraining a THING as an aerial mount is a daunting task. It requires a successful Handle Animal check (DC 33 for an adult, or 26 for a young specimen). All Ride checks on a THING forced into the open are at +2 DC, due to the affect open spaces have upon the beast's Blindsight and nerves. A THING egg is typically worth 6,000 gp on the open market. A THING can serve as a paladin's mount, though a paladin must be of 9th level and have no current mount before one can be called to serve in such a capacity; providing the creature with skeletons could be a problem for a paladin, though. As mounts, THINGs are usually found only amongst the most martial and disciplined of subterranean races.CARRYING CAPACITYA THING can carry up to 459 lbs. as a Light load, a Medium load is up to 918 lbs., and a Heavy load is 1377 lbs. A THING can carry up to its Medium load and still fly.</blockquote>
