[QUOTE="Grazzt, post: 1501042, member: 7"] Yep- silid should be mentioned and the Troblin should have the subtype, AFAIK. Not sure where the heck that came from. In my final manuscript it isn't there. In the proofs it is however (and I missed it when proofing). So, where did it come from? Not a clue. Yeppers. 3d6 Intentional. DM's perogative. You could develop a plane of sound if ya wanted, or have it come from some existing plane. No error here. It's supposed to say "Usually neutral." EDIT: Went back and double-checked. It should be "7-12 HD (Large), 13-18 HD (Huge)" It should. Mistake. My fault. [/QUOTE] They are both dragons (i.e., they are of the dragon type). I am assuming by "true dragons" you mean they aren't broken down by age category right? Intentional. Supposed to be that way. Actually, the DC is correct. The ability should be Supernatural, not Spell-like (for comparisons see the Rakshasa's detect thoughts ability or the Kolyarut's enervation ray ability). DC would be 10 + 1/2 HD + Cha bonus + 4. The DC is correct. Yep- intentional. Use the revised version of trample. Yep- intentional. They were created by the inhpidians. Its just not mentioned in the sidebar or intro text. (I realize they don't have hands per se, but trust me...they created the gauntlets. Another story for another time. :)) Intentional. I bent the rules. :) Good question. I don't know why it's not there honestly. Giant blood. The book says "Oil sharks [B]have never been encountered [/B] outside the Plane of Molten Skies or Plane of Fire though sages believe the oil shark can exist in normal water." It doesnt say they can't be, just that they haven't been. No idea why. I didn't do it though. :) They would. Change the last sentence to "(A proscriber of a good, evil, lawful, or chaotic alignment gains the appropriate subtype or subtypes.)" I'll have to double-check, but there was a reason I left that off. Can't recall at the moment. Not errata. Intentional. Its supposed to have the subtype. Yes. Yeppers on both accounts. Guess. :) It was originally, but I changed it. A plane of blood just didnt grab me as an element. Use the revised version. The subtype should remain. It is. Change Plane of Shadows to Plane of Time. Not useless at all. A monster, for example, a medusa's gaze can be avoided by looking away, closing your eyes, whatever. If she has this feat and uses it, her gaze becomes a ray of [insert color] energy that can strike you even if you look away, close your eyes, etc. I may errata the range actually, and use your suggestion...normal plus 30 feet. Doesnt sound too bad actually. Errata. :) Change Special to Normal. Probably. Let me just say that when I turned the book in, the text in the Animal's appendix was NOT italicized. I don't know who did it, but it wasn't me. And I did see it in proofing and ask that it be changed. Obviously it wasn/t. (This happened in a few other places regarding the italicized text too.)
