I'm trying to work out the skill ranks for various creatures in the 3.5 MM, and I wanted to see if I'm missing something here. Most errors are pretty obvious -- neglecting a synergy or speed bonus, for example. Here's one I don't understand:
The avoral (3.5 MM p. 141) has Ride +8. Since it appears to have 10 ranks in 10 other skills (Bluff, Concentration, Handle Animal, Hide, Knowledge, Listen, Move Silently, Sense Motive, Spellcraft, Spot) it has no ranks left over -- but with Dex 23, Ride +8 would only mean 2 ranks. Is there some synergy or racial bonus I'm missing? Why would an avoral have a special bonus or ranks in ride, by the rules or in the game? It's not from speak with animals, since the leonal doesn't have Ride.
