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.Rewrote this using the language format from the MM:Snatch (Ex): A THING can choose to start a grapple when it hits with a tail slam attack, as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity.  If a THING gets a hold on a Medium or Small creature, it can make an automatic claw attack and squeezes each round for automatic tail slam damage.  A THING can drop a creature it has snatched as a free action or use a standard action to fling it aside. A flung creature travels 1d6x10 feet, and takes 1d6 points of damage per 10 feet traveled. If a THING flings a snatched opponent while flying, the opponent takes this amount or falling damage, whichever is greater.  A THING cannot make a trip attack in any round that it has used its tail as part of a snatch maneuver.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.The +5 seems weird to me, usually it is an even number - but, eh, I digress.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  how is this now:Skills: A THING has a +5 racial bonus on Listen and Move Silently checks.* A THING receives a +5 racial bonus on Hide checks in areas of low-light or darkness.Does this section 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>
