[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 4927295, member: 50987"] I know what you are thinking..."Why don't you just use the Dire Tiger from the Bestiary Preview?" Normally, I would...but it was just too powerful. The saber-toothed tigers in the Basic Rulebook were only 8 HD monsters, after all, and the dire tiger is twice that. Since the saber-tooths are fairly common on the Isle, even domesticated and used as mounts, I figured it would be best to scale their power back a little and create an "Isle of Dread Variant" of this cat.
