Velociraptors?

[Hand of Vecna]

Could some kind soul tell me where I might find stats for a velociraptor or velociraptor-like dinosaur? I've looked in the Monster Manual, Fiend Folio, Monster Manual II, and Dragon #318 (the "Dungeons & Dinosaurs" article), but I've found nada, but I'm fairly certain I've seen printed stats for them somewhere.

long time no see.

i heard a rumor that these fellas are in MM3?

Heh, thanks for the welcome. This whole site almost always loads very slowly for me (and I've yet to figure out why), so I've not been on as much as I have in the past. But I've lately been making my rounds again, in part b/c I'm in the Marvel Villains game (using the M&M rules), and to partake in the Teen Titans & Justice League Unlimited discussions.

MM3, eh? Bummer, I was hoping I could find them by tomorrow. Guess I'll just have to shrink a T-Rex down to Medium and fudge it

i *think* i also saw them in the eberron CS, if you have that.

Grah, no, I don't. Curse you, WotC, for taunting me so!!!

Well there's the Deinonychus is the MM, which is the larger relative to Velociraptor (which it notes in the description). Maybe that would be a good place to start.

i think that's the case for most of us.

i find it tends to be worst in the last monring/early afternoon on weekdays. any other time it's usually pretty good.

No velociraptors in my database... What about Serpent Kingdoms?

Yeah, it's in the Eberron CS.

They just call it a clawfoot. Crazy halflings...

Groovy, thanks, all!

Hey, look at that -- the MM Errata (6/11/2004) changed the Deinonychus to a Medium critter, making it a perfect faux Velociraptor

One thing, though -- how does it have a +26 on Jump checks? Str 19 (+4), +8 racial (unless that was changed in a latter errata), that leaves 14 ranks -- far too many for a 4 HD animal.
