c 719

The above mentioned Goat Demon needs severe editing as it contains numerous errors. HD didn't include bonus hp from con so hp is also wrong, speed is too slow for a huge creature, Huge size penalty modifier missing from AC and attack, creatures get iterative attacks from manufactured weapons, BAB is just +15 (BAB is never iterative). Hoof is not a slam attack and natural weapons when mixed with manufactured weapons are always secondary. It gets 126 skill ranks (max of 18 in any one skill) and then you add ability modifiers and synergy bonuses. Saves are +9 and then you add the appropriate ability modifiers. It has a Hide penalty due to size and Dex so that should be listed even if it has no ranks in that skill.

A quadruped monster with arms should be able to take the feats mounted combat, ride-by attack, spirited charge, and trample without the need for meeting the prerequisites. See for example the Centaur entry in Races of Faerūn. I don't recommend giving them as racial feats, but it doesn't make sense for a creature to need to "ride itself." It certainly cannot fall off itself or need to steer itself. The prerequisite of Ride 1 is silly under these circumstances.

Improved natural armor is a wasted feat on this monster. Improved means you have to add to its initial natural armor and you didn't do that. Just assign it +11 NA and be done with it. It should have a replacement feat.

The plural of bonus is bonuses not bonii (in Latin the plural is "bona").

Here is the corrected creature in spoiler

Spoiler


Edit: Trample does hoof damage (normally slam) plus 1 and 1/2 Str bonus. The save should half the damage not negate it. I also corrected the damage on its attacks. Hoof uses full Str bonus and Gore is 1/2 Str bonus. There is no attack that uses double Str bonus. The melee attack size has a -2 size penalty (it is not he +8 size modifier used by Grapple).

C 711

The above ooze creature needs some editing. Mindless creatures don't get feats in addition to not getting skills. Giving it two bonus feats is probably not appropriate either.


C 725 and C726

I thought creating base classes was beyond the scope of this thread.

R 695 again. See page 1 second entry in this thread and my first post in this thread. Just thought I'd bump my request up. Thanks.
