[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 5596214, member: 18701"] The issues you guys pointed out are the exact things that I questioned myself. I wasn't exactly sure how to figure out the save throws because I was confused by what I read in the Monster Manual for doing such a thing. I was also confused on how to determine the save DC. The MM doesn't seem to be as clear as you just were on that. I actually had two feats and chose Weapon Focus (razor) since he's known to slice people up. But it seemed like I had a ton of special abilities & qualities for a CR 3 NPC. So I figured I was balancing him out a bit by having only 1 feat even if the build granted two. But if it all looks good and the 2nd feat is appropriate, then I'll do that. About Wooden Body & Immunity to Magic; do you mean that I should simply mention the damage from Warpwood spell in the Immunity to Magic quality and do without the "Wooden Body" quality? Are you also saying that it should be called something besides "Immunity to Magic"? I'm not sure if yer saying the problem is with the name of the quality (Immunity to Magic) since that name is used differently on other creatures, or if my description to the quality is not allowable. Thanks for the feedback! [/QUOTE]
