[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8758566, member: 57383"] Dang, still got the beast type of SRD [B][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/database/creature/dinosaur-deinonychus']Deinonychus[/URL][/B] in the Enworld version. Forgot to change it to monstrosity. That's done, plus I moved the [I][B]Keen Senses[/B][/I] to be alphabetically correct (i.e. in front of [I][B]Innate Spellcasting[/B][/I]. The [I][B]Bite[/B][/I] is wrong. I matched the d4 + 2 damage of Frog God's SRD [B][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/database/creature/dinosaur-deinonychus']Deinonychus[/URL][/B] and added a no-save venom like the [I]Monster Manual[/I] Yuan-ti with bite attacks. It seemed appropriate to have 2d4 poison damage like a 5E [B][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/database/creature/animal-snake-poisonous']Poisonous Snake[/URL][/B] rather than the 2d6 poison of a Yuan-ti Malison, which is a higher CR than this ti-khana. [INDENT][I][B]Bite.[/B] Melee Weapon Attack:[/I] +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. [I]Hit:[/I] 4 (1d4 + 2) piercing damage plus 5 (2d4) poison damage.[/INDENT] If you want to increase the bite's piercing damage I'd be OK, but we'd need to reduce the poison damage to balance it with the talons. I was aiming to have the bite and talon do the same damage, so which option it picked with Multiattack didn't matter. Hmm, upon reflection I think I prefer an average bite damage of 9 rather than 9.5 like it is above, which'd require a poison damage of 1d8 with 1d4 + 2 from the fangs. Including increasing the piercing damage, the options are: [INDENT][I][B]Bite #2.[/B] Melee Weapon Attack:[/I] +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. [I]Hit:[/I] 5 (1d4 + 2) piercing damage plus 3 (1d8) poison damage. [/INDENT] [INDENT][I][B]Bite #3.[/B] Melee Weapon Attack:[/I] +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. [I]Hit:[/I] 5 (1d6 + 2) piercing damage plus 3 (1d6) poison damage.[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT][I][B]Bite #4.[/B] Melee Weapon Attack:[/I] +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. [I]Hit:[/I] 6 (1d8 + 2) piercing damage plus 5 (1d4) poison damage.[/INDENT] Hmm… I prefer [B]Bite #2[/B] or [B]Bite #3[/B] but aren't really fussed. Which do you prefer? The [I][B]Claws[/B][/I] damage is 1d8 + 2 not 1d8 + 3, although the 6 is correct. That just leaves the [B]Description[/B]. [/QUOTE]
