[QUOTE="Tales and Chronicles, post: 9450513, member: 6871653"] Initiative, Stealth and Perception being 1d20+Reflex in this case? Like, Perception is more or less a Reflex saving throw against Stealth (and vice-versa). Question: Where does the +3 to damage comes from? Shouldn't it be +5 (+ Fort). I guess that's probably from 16 STR (+3) + Prof bonus in the original statblock? But it makes it harder to modify the monster if you dont know which bonus from the statblock you add to damage. Added bonus: if you add your Fortitude both to hit and damage, you dont have to repeat it twice in the attack description; just go with Melee attack +5, 1d12 slashing, with an explanation in the book that you add the attack modifier to both hit and damage roll. And for flavor reason, I think I'd favor replacing the basic Attack with something like: Orcish Brand ([B]M[/B]): +5 for 1d12+3 (9) slashing Cruel Barb ([B]R[/B] 30/120): +5 1d6+3 (6) Piercing [/QUOTE]
