[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 2898893, member: 907"] First I can find in the SRD is the Cornugon: Spiked chain +25/+20/+15 melee (2d6+15 plus stun) and bite +22 melee (2d8+5) and tail +22 melee (2d6+5 plus infernal wound) I doubt it. It's from a supplement, so it won't get used in adventures or other sourcebooks much. You mean the "thri-kreen Psychic Warrior 1, Base Attack Bonus +2, Str 16, Dex 22, Multiattack feat, Weapon Finesse feat, fighting with a gythka +1/+1"? I'm assuming Multiweapon fighting included as well, because using a double weapon without it (or two-weapon fighting) is just stupid. OK, let's see... BAB +2. With Str, +5. With Dex, +8. It would go something like this: Gythka +4 (1d10+4) and gythka (offhand) +7 (1d10+2) and 2 claws +6 (1d4+1) and bite +6 (1d4+1 plus poison). How I got the attack bonuses: Gythka +4: BAB +2, Str +3, Enhancement +1, two-weapon fighting -2 Gythka +7: BAB +2, Dex +6, Enhancement +1, two-weapon fighting -2 Natural weapons +6: BAB +2, Dex +6, secondary attack with multiattack -2 He could also make a single attack with the gythka (using it as a two-handed weapon), which would then have an attack bonus of +6 (as the +4 without the -2 penalty) and do 1d10+5 damage (Str bonus x1.5, +1 magic). The claws and bite would be unaffected. You guessed it, Thri-kreen of Athas is a Dark Sun book. It's extremely good for describing what the thri-kreen of Athas are all about, and could be pretty useful as inspiration about what they're like in other settings, but the stats bit of it would be pretty irrelevant in a 3.5e game.
