[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 9134657, member: 57383"] Okay, have a pretty solid idea for the basic design of the War Pterosaur, so I'll update the [B][URL='https://www.enworld.org/posts/8860329']Ti-khana War Pterosaur[/URL][/B] with it. Might as well QUOTE it here while I'm at it. My basic idea for the War Pterosaur was it would have two roles: A) a flying mount for either a Yuan-ti Abomination or a howdah full of Yuan-ti Malisons or (b) a decent solo opponent for a lowish level party. Requirement (A) meant it has to be Huge since an Abomination is Large and the Pterosaur has to be big enough to carry it. It also needs to be fairly resilient to meet both Requirements, since if it's quickly blasted out of the sky and Yuan-ti riding it might plummet to their deaths. Challenge 7 seemed a fair ballpark since that's the CR of an Abomination. I've set the numbers to give it a Defensive CR of 7 and if I allow for one Dive attack every three round the rest of its attacks need a DPR somewhere in the 33 to 44 range to give Offensive CR 7, and I'd prefer them to be in the 39 to 44 range.
