Find it here Update Notes: In order to facilitate the update of the Errata file, an Update log has now been added. It's right at the bottom. Hi all, This errata file replaces the old one which has become a bit clunky. Please note the following: We have an established format for page references. Any additions to the errata thread is best put in another thread, in order to reduce clutter. Other than that, here goes: This is basically the same errata file that lies on the Yahoo group. I'm sure there are things that need clarifications and mistakes that Monte's editors have put into his flawless manuscript. Note that not all of these replys are "official" - i.e. Monte wrote them or said "That's right". The validity of each errata (-tum?) can be easily ascertained, though, by checking the relevant rule books. However: When and if you find something that doesn't seem right, please check in every available rulebook. For instance, I find adding the right number of feats and stat increases to monsters with class fiendishly hard, but check it as much as you can (at the very least, have the books in front of you (I'm not kidding: We are some (yours truly included) who sometimes forget checking the books or the SRD). ************ Abbreviations: H Hommlet, M Moat House, N Nulb, OT Old Temple, C Crater Ridge Mines, OF Outer Fane, IF - Inner Fane, RT - Recovered Temple (no errata there... Yet!), FN Fire Node. ********** Credits: Board contributors who helped with this errata: Monte, pdrussel, inthane chan, Pjack, HeavyG, Hedrack, IronTetsubo, laconicy, Wandor, Blackthorne, JLXC, Lawithro, Andorax, Zagyg the Mad Archmage, SIERK, Thrommel, TabletopGod, sheetghoul, Zenon, Haplo, Tristan DArque, jmpt, Glyfair of Glamis, Trithereon, Fourecks, Cthuluduck, stanguay, madfox, SSShadowcat7, Sacremas, Infiniti2000, melanikus2000, grumgarr, smetzger, Xel565, Caedrel, and yours truly. ********** General: There are wands with no number of charges noted. For example, Vacra's wand of change self (in Hommlet), or the hobgoblin shaman's wand of cure light wounds. I'd use full charges but Vacra is specifically described as using the wand to disguise herself so it's unlikely to be 100% charged. HeavyG suggests rolling d% ************ Errata for Hommlet, Moat House, Nulb, and Recovered Temple - and the rod of force p. 4 -- Verbobonc lies some 10 leagues (30 miles) from Hommlet. According to the overland map as well as previous material, the distance is more like 75 miles. This may also be a matter of miles being confused with leagues at some point. p. 10 (Hvar.) -- Elmo's Swim skill doesn't include his armor. At his level and with his equipment the maximum the modifier would be +0 p. 10 (Hvar.) -- Nierethi Poscurian, Gnomish Illusionist, should have the Toughness feat. His spellbook isn't detailed, just what spells he has prepared. p. 10 + 17 (H28) -- Chenashi is listed as a cleric of the Elder Elemental Eye, but she has the Force and Destruction Domains, which only clerics of Tharizdun can have. p. 11 (Hvar.) -- Xaod the Slayer isn't listed as carrying any arrows. Furthermore, he's listed as a Pal 4 there and on p11, but his listed HD are only 3d10. Unless I'm missing something here, they should be 4d10. Hp of 28 works better for 4d10 as well (required rolls closer to the average - 10@1st plus 6 per level (avg = 5.5)). Finally, many people have noted that his Combat Reflexes don't seem to help him much due to his low Dexterity. Combat Reflexes also enable you to make AoO while flat-footed, so it's not a complete loss. p. 12 (Hvar.) -- Ingrith is not listed as carrying any ammunition for her crossbow. p. 12 (H3) -- Canonness Y'Dey has a +7 save bonus from her Protection Domain power. This should be +10 (+1/lvl). p. 12 (H3) -- Terjon has a +7 save bonus from his Protection Domain power. This should be +6 (+1/lvl). p. 12 (H3) -- Terjon needs to have at least a 13 Dex to get the Dodge feat. I gave him it since the bonus to AC is the same as 12 (which he's statted with). He's also got 3 spare skill points, but that's not such a concern. Suggestion: Allocate one each to Knowledge (arcana), Knowledge (religion), and Spellcraft. p. 13 (H4) -- Redithidoor Halfmoon is listed as a human but the text indicates hes an elf. This is more in keeping with his name and the fact that he is proficient in both longbow and short sword (where he would have to pick one or the other if he were human). Therefore, he should be an elf. However, this leaves him with one too many feats (Run, Dodge). Suggestion: Take away Run. p. 16 (H26) -- The Doppleganger Jaroo isn't listed with an alignment. The Monster Manual indicates they're usually neutral, but given that he's murdered Jaroo and worships (or serves the cult of) the Elder Elemental Eye, he should probably be at least Neutral Evil, if not Chaotic Evil. p. 16 (H25) -- Spugnoir is listed with 5 second level spells prepared: cat's grace, daylight, flaming sphere, invisibility and web. He should only have 4 (3 for his level, plus 1 bonus), as correctly indicated in brackets at the beginning of the entry. Suggestion: Remove flaming sphere, as it isn't in his spellbook. Furthermore, Spugnoir is listed as having Move Silently +14. This isn't possible. Even with his familiar, his maximum possible score for this is 9. I suspect what was meant is +4, since that's what he gets from his Dex and his familiar. However, he has 4 points "left over" after purchasing all his other skills, and his Dex + 2 ranks would = +4 (and when he's first met he presumably doesn't have his familiar). My suggested fix for this would be to give him 2 ranks in Move Silently. Also, it says he has 30 hit points, but the Appendix says that he has 33 hit points. 30 probably includes forgetting his Toughness feat (3 hit points). Spugnoir has 33 hit points. p. 17 (H27) -- Burne should have 46 hp, not 28 hp. He doesn't appear to have any ranks in Knowledge (Arcana), yet has 20 spare skill points. Shatter is listed as a 1st level spell; it's 2nd. He is missing dispel magic from his spellbook, although it's one of his Mastered spells. p. 17 (H27 17) -- Rufus' Swim skill doesn't include the penalties for his equipment (and thus, should be -4). Also, I think that his Climb and Jump skills don't include the armor check penalty of his shield (and thus, should be +3 and +4, respectively). Moathouse Map area 13 -- There is no indication of where the stairways in area 13 go. They should lead to area 18 in the moathouse dungeon. Moathouse Map area 24 -- Just east of area 24 are shown two secret doors, but no Search DC for finding them is listed. The same goes for the secret door leading to 26A. p. 23 (M24) -- The three black cones should be identified as incense of dreaming p. 23 (M24) Grens Insanity score of 1 has not been factored in to her Will save; with an effective Wisdom of 13, it should only be +4. p. 24 -- location M8 should be location M28. p. 24 (M30) -- DC for Ref save should be 14. Add text "Search (DC28) " p. 24 (M32A) -- Geynor Ton is not using all his skill points. He gets 10 by 2nd level (1st level = (2 (1st level) - 1 (Int)) * 4 = 4 + 4 for being human = 8 + (2 (2nd level) - 1 (Int)) = 9 + 1 for race = 10. His Concentration only costs 5 ranks and his Spot and Listen don't cost anything (4 each is covered by his +2 wisdom for 14 and +2 for alertness). That leaves 5 ranks. p. 24 (M32A) -- Ysslansh is given an Init bonus of +0, but that's incorrect. He has a 9 dex, so that's a -1 Initiative penalty. His low dex is not included in his stat block for Init, or Reflex Save but is included for his AC and Hide Score. Correct should be Init -1, Ref -1. Furthermore, his Will Save should only be +3 (Trog base +0, Class +3, effective Wis bonus +0 [he's insane]). Finally, his deity should probably be changed to Tharizdun to reflect his domains and his symbol. If you prefer to leave him EEE, change Chaos to Earth and change his symbol. p. 27 (M32E) -- Festrath should either have Int 13 or another feat instead of Expertise. As a result of having to increase Festrath's Intelligence to 13 for the Expertise feat, he gains 8 more skill points. I dropped them into Spellcraft. Additionally, his Intelligence-based skills (all of them listed other than Concentration) go to +9 rather than +8. p. 31 (N1) -- In Nulb, Wat the Ghost Assassin should be CR 8, not 6. p. 31 (N2) -- Lareth has no holy symbol. p. 33 (OT Random Encounters) -- Undra has no holy symbol. p. 33-37 (OT general) -- Hobgoblin Warriors have 1 unspent skill point. They have 8 points at 1st level ((2 + 0 Int mod) x 4), Intimidate +3 costs 3, Jump +0 costs 4, Move Silently - 1 costs 0. That leaves 1 point. One supposes it can be spent on a half-rank of Move Silently. p. 34 -- The sentence ""This area is being watched, see Chapter 7..." is slightly misleading. The succubus mentioned in Chapter 7 isn't there until the Doomdreamers have begun excavating the temple. p. 34 (OT3) -- Alubya's Move Silently +3 doesn't take into account the fact that with the equipment she's listed with, she's Medium encumbered. That means her true Move Silently modifier should be +0. p. 34 -- Area OT4 is not marked on the map. It should be halfway between areas OT11 & OT15. It is simply an open area where the hobgoblins house their dogs. *p. 35 (OT10)* -- Hit point values are given for 6 warriors, but the text only mentions 4. The last 2 may be the ones mentioned with Rarkus. Suggestion: Remove the two last sets of hit points. pp. 36-37 (OT13) -- It's said the dire ape down here is called to service by an elite warrior who stands at the top of the stairs, but the "monster paragraph" isn't given for the elite warrior. One must assume it's either from one of the other packs of hobgoblin elites in other parts of the temple, or that it's an oversight and there should be an additional hobgoblin elite here. p. 37 (OT13) -- The mention of area 1 should be replaced with area 5. p. 37 (OT16) -- The circle completed by the dais is 60 feet across, not 30. See map titled "The Temple" in RttToEE and drawing p. 42 of ToEE, where there is six ten-foot squares of granite across. p. 37 (OT16) -- Rarkus' damage should be altered to 1d8+6 (right-hand blade)/1d8+4 (left-hand blade). Having the sword being enchanted in both ends may seem a little much for an opponent of his level. While it can be argued that as a "boss monster" he could have more, DMs who monitor their treasure closely might want to replace the left head with a masterwork blade. This'll keep attack bonuses unchanged and reduce left-hand damage to 1d8+3. p. 155 -- Force blade effect on the rod of force is only 3', not 30'

Posts: 9238 Sep 23 02 12:00 AM Harry Potter with Giant Levels Council of Magisters Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	p. 39 (Intro: "Getting from the Mines to the Fanes" -- The Tourbillion is on sublevel 2, not sublevel 3. p. 44 (C5) -- "The secret door south of this room is only secret from the west..." This corresponds more with the text in the Tactics section. p. 45 (C6) -- The Howler in area 6 is wrong: Huge Howler (12 HD): Huge Outsider (Chaotic, Evil); HD 12d8+48 (102 hp); Init +6 (+2 Dex, +4 Improved Initiative); Spd 60ft.; AC: 18 (-2 size, +2 Dex, +8 natural); Atk Bite +19 melee (4d6+9), 1d4 quills +14 melee (1d6+4); Face/Reach: 10 ft. by 20ft./10ft.; SA Quills, howl; Saves Fort +12, Ref +10, Will +10; AB Str 29, Dex 15, Con 19, Int 6, Wis 14, Cha 8; Skills Climb +16, Hide+14, Listen +17, Move Silently +14, Search +7, Spot +17; Feats: Alertness, Improved Bull Rush, Improved Initiative, Power Attack; CR 6 Note, however, that Cordo Crowfoot has the following tidbit straight from the horse's mouth (as it were): I asked Monte if he would recommend that DMs use the tougher correctly advanced version of the howler in the errata, or if he would use the original, albeit incorrect, statblock. His answer: "The original version. That's what was playtested. It was modified to be just right for that encounter." Use the errata'd version with caution! pg. 45 (C7) -- Wormspike should have large hide armor, not huge hide armor. p. 45 (C8) -- Mereclar has weapon finesse (long sword) as a feat. If you replace it with weapon focus, the stats stay the same. Also, he does not have Ride (Howler), so he probably wouldn't ride it in battle. Suggestion: change Listen +10 to Listen +5 and add Ride (Howler) +8. Terrenygit in the Monster Manual, an ordinary troglodyte with Dex 9 and Wis 10 still has a Hide +6 (of which only +4 is its racial bonus) and a Listen +3. I would argue that a troglodyte with class levels should also get these bonuses, which leads to the following errata: *p. 46 (C11)* - Terrenygit's Hide skill is one too high. It should be Hide -1 (+7 base trog, +0 Dex, -6 full plate, -2 steel shield). Also, he is listed as enjoying to use hold person, yet doesn't have it under 2nd level spells prepared. If he likes it that much, he should have it prepared in addition to the scroll. Suggestion: replace spiritual weapon with hold person. *p. 46 (C12)* -- Terrenygit, a 5th level cleric, can only command 2 zombies (each has 2HD) through successful turning attempts. If he animated them himself he can command an additional 5 of them (2 x 5th level cleric = 10 HD) automatically. This brings the total number of auto-controllable zombies up to 7. p. 47 (C18 ) -- The basilisk is said to be hungry, yet it's got 2 statues nearby it could be eating.

Posts: 9238 Jan 9 03 6:31 AM Harry Potter with Giant Levels Council of Magisters Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	p. 49 (C26) -- Vranthis the Dragon should be CR 7, not 6. Also, the fiendish girallon should have darkvision 60'. If you award XP for him as a trap (as listed), he then is CR 6 (CR 5 +1 for fiendish). This makes the EL 8 for the area, not EL 7 as in the errata. If you allow it, the search DC is 30 and the disable device DC is 30. For dispel magic, the caster level is 9. *p. 49 (C27)* -- "...conveyor belt is on the western side of the platform..." Also, is the conveyor the only way up? At least, there should be a ruined ladder nearby, say on the eastern side. *pg. 49 (C25-28)* -- The eastern half (with the water) is 25 feet lower (see p. 48 C21), thus the kuo-toa can't see onto the land (a 25-ft cliff) from the water. Also, the cliff actually must lower gradually as one travels from C28 to C25, until the ground is roughly even with the water. Alternatively, you make make a slight waterfall down to area C25. p. 49-50 (C28) -- Moolowik should have +2d6 sneak attack. Note that those (of us - sigh) with 1st printings of the PH will believe that he should only have +1d6. Check later printings or the SRD. Also, his AC should be 22 (touch 11, flat-footed 22): +6 natural, +3 leather +1, +2 lg. shield, +1 dex. His Atk should be "+7 and +1", not "+7/+1", lest he attack twice with the halfspear. He has no insanity score (not a cleric) or insanity SQ. This must be a copy and paste bug by Monte. ;-)

Posts: 9238 Jan 9 03 6:33 AM Harry Potter with Giant Levels Council of Magisters Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	pg. 51 (C34) -- The total hide bonus for the old umber hulk should be +3: +6 circumstance, +1 dex, -4 large. p. 52 (C37) -- Krall's Huge two-bladed sword is listed as doing d10/d10. This neither agrees with the statblock found in Appendix 3 on page 173, with the errataed statblock, nor with the rules on page 14 of the Monster Manual as well as in the DMG, p. 162, which indicate a weapon that does 1d8, when upgraded in size, does 2d6. See below for Kraal's updated stats. Kraal the Troll needs a stat increase and other matters neeed to be resolved as well. His stats, with +1 to Str are posted here, courtesy of laconicy, with some errata by Infiniti2000 - Krall: Male troll Ftr2: CR 7; Large giant; HD 6d8+36 plus 2d10+12; hp 86; Init +2; Spd 20ft; AC 23 (touch 9, flat-footed 23); Atk +8/+3 melee and +8 melee (2d6+7/2d6+3/19- 20, Huge two-bladed sword), or +12 melee (1d6+7, 2 claws) and +7 melee (1d6+3, bite); Reach 10ft; SA Rend 2d6+10; SQ Darkvision 90 ft., regeneration 5, scent; AL CE; SV Fort +14, Ref +4, Will +3; Str 24, Dex 15, Con 23, Int 6, Wis 9, Cha 6. Skills and Feats: Hide -10, Jump +3, Listen +5, Spot +5; Alertness, Ambidexterity, Exotic Weapon Proficiency (two-bladed sword), Iron Will. Possessions: as written. - plus "key for chest in room 38." *pg. 52 (C37)* -- "The bow is a mighty composite..." It has a strength rating, so this avoids confusion. p. 52 (C38) -- The Search DC to detect the secret door that leads to this room isn't indicated. I arbitrarily assigned 20 for my own purposes. Another suggestion is to remove it completely. Also, the type of poison is not indicated. The damage indicates that it's a giant wasp poison. If so, Save DC should be 18. p. 53 (C40) -- Last paragraph of the tactics section, "Tippesh unleashes ..." Delete "spends most of the day in mage armor...and" She cannot cast mage armor. Her prohibited school is conjuration. Also, her average HP is 24 (forgot the toughness feat). To prepare 5 0th-level spells, one must be an evocation. Suggestion: replace mage hand with light. p. 53 (C40) -- Heunar's average HP are 14, not 13. Dunno if it matters, though, by the time the party gets here. p. 53 (C43) -- D'Gran's Ogre Magi-granted powers should be as Sorc 9, and his Fiendish powers as Sorc 5. The way it presently reads, they're all as Sorc 5 (which makes for a pretty weak Cone of Cold). Also, add to his attacks, "... or +10 melee (1d8+8, bite) and +5 melee (1d6+4, 2 claws)". Add another feat (half-fiends have one every four levels, so D'Gran should have two). Suggestion: Combat Reflexes. p. 54 (C44) -- Slaazh's statblock has him having CR4. This should probably be the same as Krall, who is likewise a Troll/Ftr2 - so CR7. Also, he has a statted AC of 26. This comes from +1 chainmail, wooden shield, and assorted troll bonuses. Unfortunately, he's using a huge greatsword, which means that he's NOT using his shield. His corrected AC should be 24. And finally, his Climb score is +3: -6 armor check, +7 Str, +2 skill points. And his possessions should also include a key to the chest in 38. Finally, Descritad has a couple of errors: her speed should be 30 ft, not 40 ft; her AC is 15 (its only 19 if shes wearing her chain shirt) - note that her Touch AC is also 15, not 13 as stated; her possessions in area 43 dont include a masterwork mighty composite shortbow (+1 Str bonus); when in rage with her masterwork scimitar, her damage should be 1d6+4/18-20, since she has to wield the Medium sized weapon in two hands. Descritad's bonuses with her bow are wrong. Her attack bonus should be +11 (+5 base, +4 Dex, +1 size, +1 masterwork). The damage should be 1d6+1 (not +2). Without her armor, all of Descritad's listed skills except for Listen, Spot, Swim, and Wilderness Lore get an adjustment of +2. Swim gets adjusted by +3. Descritad appears to have 3 rogue skill points unspent. I'd suggest giving her 2 ranks in Open Lock and one in Disable Device so she can take advantage of her masterwork thief's tools. Add these to her Skills: Disable Device +3, Open Lock +8. Without her tools, they are -1 and +4, respectively. *p. 55 (C45 and C47)* -- The EL is 6 (eight human warriors, each at CR 1 due to extra equipment). p. 56 (C51) "The cries and clashes...rounds and the gnolls in area 50 in 1d4+2 rounds." The gnolls are not so far away that they cannot hear a pitched battle. I made it an extra round to move the extra 40-60 feet.

Posts: 9238 Jan 9 03 6:38 AM Harry Potter with Giant Levels Council of Magisters Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	p. 57 (C57) -- "eastern alcove" should read "western alcove" in the boxed text. p. 57 (C58) -- In order for Murant to have Ambidexterity, he needs a Dex of 15 (currently 14), but that doesn't change any other stats. His attacks should be +8 (1d8+5/x3) and +8 (1d8+3/x3). His attacks are calculated from BAB +5, STR +4, +1/+1 orc double axe, -2 to each hand for two weapons (off-hand light, amb., twf). With Rage, it is +10 (1d8+7/x3) and +10 (1d8+4/x3). p. 59 (C63) -- Glyph save DC should be 14. pp. 59-60 (C64) -- The secret door isn't described. Trithereon's suggestion: The door should be secret from the inside as well as the outside (Search DC 22 from the inside, the same as the one in Room 70 and maybe a DC 30 from the outside). It probably should be locked (Open Lock DC 32, like Room 67). I like a difficult Search and Open Lock DC hinting at the idea that only the rightful heir to the temple, the one with a key and knows about it, should be able to enter the dwarf's backdoor easily. Dwarves are a secretive and greedy little bunch and are not likely to make it easy for anyone, not in "the know", to find their backdoor. p. 61 (C72) -- As a Bbn4, Graud can rage twice. He has about 51 pounds of equipment, so his swim check has a -10 penalty (total -4 normally or -2 while raging). The average hp for Graud is 30, not 42 (as if he had an 18 Con). With this new hp, while raging he has only 38 hp.

It should have a door that opens out to the hallway, just like the one from area #80B. pg. 61 (C73) - The ceiling needs to be at least 25ft high (instead of the implied 20ft) in order to allow the air elemental (if summoned) on top of the 15ft dais. pg. 61 (C73) - Fachish has an extra 2nd-level spell prepared; suggestion: remove darkness. p. 62 (C73) -- It should be mentioned that the Wind Door is in area 36 of the Outer Fane, not just any area 36.

Rusting Grasp is one of them. Also, as a Drd8, he should have the ability of Wildshape (large) listed. Furthermore, Tarren has leather armor per the stat block, but the text says hide. I think the description is more interesting, so I suggest replacing the +2 leather with +2 hide, and making the following additional changes: AC 17 (touch 12, flat-footed 15); Spd 20ft. And finally, Tarren's Handle Animal skill should be +16 (ranks +11, Cha +3, synergy bonus from animal empathy +2).

Virith's attack with a bow should be +8 (or +9 with the MW arrows) (BA=4, +3 Dex, +1 Masterwork bonus). Since (s)he has no non-masterwork arrows listed, go with the +9. Also his/her sword damage should be 1d8+3. p. 72 (C109) -- There is an iron box, with a DC 30 to open, but nothing at all about its content. According to Monte, its another box, DC 30 to open. Yes, this is probably a joke. Or maybe the bag's in the box... Infiniti2K has the following suggestion: What's in the locked, black iron box? Suggestion: 6 mephits should have about 3400gp. Add: small scorched pouch with 2 red spinels worth 100gp each, small silver vase, acid-etched in relief of dragons in flight worth 300gp, potions of darkvision and levitate, ring of jumping - white gold enscribed with runes and a pair of boots. (I still like Monte's better ;) - S.) pg. 73 (C113) -- Arlainth, the following spells are evocation and have a save DC of 16 + spell level: flaming sphere and fireball. Add to possessions: 10 crossbow bolts. p. 73 (C115) -- Skassik is missing Alertness, a base salamander feat, and is lacking Power Attack as a prerequisite for both Cleave and Sunder. He also doesn't currently satisfy the blackguard prerequisite of 2 ranks in Knowledge(religion) (he has 1), doesn't seem to have spent about 6 skill points, and didn't get his stat increase when gaining 8th character level. The stat increase is easy to fix by bumping his Str up to 15 since it won't change anything else. Next, let's fix his skill problem. With his 70 base salamander skill points spent the same as a default creature (10 ranks in each base skill; keep in mind he didn't take Alertness) and his armor check penalty of -7, all his skill modifiers match the text except that Hide is +4, Move Silently is +4, and he has no ranks in Knowledge (religion) at this point. Taking one level of fighter gives him 4 skill points, which he needs to dump into Knowledge (religion) so he qualifies for blackguard, giving him 2 ranks and a total skill mod of +4 with his Int bonus. Next, the 3 levels of blackguard give him (2+2) x 3 = 12 skill points. He spends 2 of those points to boost Hide up one point to +5, 8 points to boost Move Silently up four points to +8, and is left with 4 to spend. Suggestion: Intimidate 4+2 (Cha) = +6. Adding Alertness brings his Spot and Listen to +14. Finally, Power Attack could be substituted for Weapon Focus. In this case, his attacks by his sword drop to +14/+9/+4. Alternatively, he could also be advanced one HD in salamander to give him an extra feat (8 HD) before he takes the class levels. His stat increase noted above moves from 8th to 12th character level, but still can bump Str to 15. This changes a number of things: CR 9; HD 8d8+8 plus 1d10+1 plus 3d10+3; hp 74; Atk +16/+11/+6 (greatsword), +14 (tail slap); Fort +14, Ref +10, Will +11. Skills & Feats: add 10 points worth of skills worth (salamander skills are class buy); add Power Attack. Advancement skill suggestion: Add one to every salamander class skill (maxing them out at 11 ranks for 8 HD) and dump 3 points into Knowledge (religion). Ftr 1 adds one point to that giving 2 ranks total and then dumps its remaining 3 points into Jump. Blackguard distribution is the same as above: 2 into Hide, 8 into Move Silently, 4 into Intimidate. Final tally: Craft (metalworking) +17, Escape Artist +5, Hide +6, Intimidate +6, Jump -2, Knowledge (religion) +4, Listen +15, Move Silently +9, Search +13, Spot +15. p. 73 (C116) -- Zert in the Fire Temple has Improved Two-Weapon Fighting, Prerequisite is BAB +9, he is a Ftr8 with BAB +8.

His revised stat block - excluding demonstone bonus! - is as follows: Firre Oranac: male gnome Ftr3/Clr4; CR 7; small humanoid (gnome); HD 3d10+9+4d8+12; hp 58; Init +7; Spd 15 ft; AC 22 (touch 14, flat-footed 20); Atk +11/+6 melee (1d6+3/19-20, +1 short sword) or +11/+6 ranged (1d6+2/x3, mighty composite shortbow [+1 Str bonus]); SA rebuke undead 2/day; SQ cantrips, insanity, low-light vision, speak with burrowing animals, +2 bonus on saves against illusions, +1 bonus on attacks against kobolds and goblinoids, +4 dodge bonus to AC against giants; AL CE; SV Fort +11, Ref +6, Will +7; Str 12, Dex 16, Con 17, Int 11, Wis 15, Cha 9. Skills: Climb +3, Concentration +7, Hide +2, Knowledge (religion) +4, Listen +6 pg. 74 (C119) -- Jurrikath Musseloto, Intimidate +4 (Cha +2, synergy from Bluff +2). Also change his Dex to 15 to meet Ambidexterity requirements. pg. 74 (C120) -- EL 10 due to Tessimon's CR of 10 from the demonic arm. p. 74-77 (C120/121) -- Tessimons Insanity score of 4 has not been factored into her Will save. With an effective Wisdom of 12, she should have Will +7. Her skills also havent factored her Insanity in. She should have Heal +13, Profession (herbalist) +13 Base skill points = (2 +1 human +2 Int) = 5; Total skill points = (5 * 4) + (5 * 8) = 60. Concentration +14 (+2 Con -> 12 ranks), Heal +17 (+1 effective Wis -> 16 ranks), Knowledge (religion) +14 (+2 Int -> 12 ranks), Profession (herbalist) +15 (+1 effective Wis -> 14 ranks), Spellcraft +14 (+2 Int -> 12 ranks) = 66 skill points. Her Wisdom based skills have more ranks than her character level allows (12), and bringing them back to this maximum makes everything work out. Also, under Tessimons combat tactics where it lists her spells and when to cast them, it states spells not on her spells prepared list (Slay Living). Also, her tactic states she will head to the altar, have it return to the center of the fire pit and cast Flame Strike and Slay Living on foes, and Dispel Magic on approaching flying foes. Slay Living is a touch spell, she cannot cast it at range. Finally, Tessimon is pictured with a left demonic arm, while her description on page 177 states that her right arm is demonic. Suggestion: Artists are mad. p. 77 (C122) -- Glyph Save DC should be 14. pg. 77 (C123) -- EL 8 (due to concealment)

Furthermore, her insanity score is 3, not 2, which makes her Wis 20 for bonus spells and Wis 14 for other checks. This gives her another 1st level spell. I suggest another cure light wounds. Also, Kelasheins skills are incorrect. Base skill points = (2 + 1 human +2 Int) = 5; Total skill points = (5 * 4) + (5 * 6) = 50.

Skum serving an aboleth are sometimes trained to fight with weapons, usually two-handed melee weapons with reach (such as longspears) and simple ranged weapons such as javelins, tridents, or slings. Extra: Skum can breathe both air and water. They speak Aquan. These skum are under the effect of maximized bull's strength and cat's grace spells (+5 to Strength and Dex). NOTES: I figured the Large version would have 10ft reach, like a troll, umber hulk, or large slaad.

Note this changes the type of armor, and would not stack with protection from good. *pp. 120 (OF27)* -- Thrommel is a 12th character level Vampire, with no Constitution score, therefore his hit points should be 12d12, not 12d12+20. However, they're not factored in. With 12d12 hp, he should have about 78 hp's on average. Add in the +20, and you'd get 98. But in fact his hp's are a mere 83. Furthermore, his Domination gaze seems to be off. According to his stat block, DC is 23. As listed in the MM a vampire's domination DC is equal to: 10 + 1/2 HD + Cha Mod. In Thrommel's case this formula looks like this: 10 + 6 ( 1/2 his 12 HD) + 5 (the mod for his 20 Cha) = 21 p. 125 (OF41) -- Varachan is listed in the short descriptive block as "Male elf Clr12". His stat block in Appendix 3 lists him as "Male Human Clr12". He has six feats listed, which would be correct if he was Human (1 for beginning 1st lvl character, bonus feats at 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th lvls & 1 bonus feat for Human). p. 126 (OF48) -- Dirass has several errors. 1. Too many feats. Remove either Brew Potion or Craft Wondrous Item. 2. AC stats are wrong. Not spelled up: AC 16 (touch 14, flat-footed 12). Spelled up (Mage Armor + Cat's Grace): AC 22 (touch 20, flat-footed 16) 3. SR should be 21 (11 + character level), not 22. 4. Reflex save should be +8 w/o Cat's Grace, and +10 with Cat's Grace. 5. I replaced one of the two Mage Armor spells with a 2nd Magic Missile. Not necessarily an error, but the other hour-per-level buffs are only memorized once. 6. The drow racial +2 will save bonus is not accounted for. I'm not sure if racial save bonuses are resistance bonuses. If they stack, +10 will save vs spells/spell-like effects. +9 if they don't stack. 7. SQ Darkvision 120' is missing 8. Stoneskin is memorized, which implies he should have 250 gp worth of diamond dust. p. 126 (OF48) -- Maracla should have SR 20, +2 on Will Saves vs spells and spell-like effects, SQ Darkvision 120' p. 128 (The Door) -- While the door is listed as being intelligent, it has no stats. Suggested: The Door (large construct) AC 4 (-1 Size, -5 Dex) HD 12 (120 hp) - SA Telepathic (range 100'), Spell-like abilities SQ Construct Immunities, Fire Immunity, SR 30, Adamantine Abilities Str --, Dex 0, Con --, Int 10, Wis 10, Cha 17 Saves Fort +6, Ref +1, Will +6 Skills Spot +12, Listen +12, Sense Motive +12 *Adamantine:* Hardness 20 (adamantine), Break DC 50, +2 bonus to saves (already figured in stats). *Spell-like abilities:* Usable 3/day (save DC 13 + spell level): Detect Good, Detect Evil, Detect Thoughts, Lightning Bolt, Wall of Fire, Fear, Summon Monster V, Dismissal, Feeblemind p. 129 (IF Level 2) -- Tychons Will save should be Will +9 (+6 as Clr9 +3 as Doom2 +0 effective Wis 11). p. 132 (IF Level 8.3) -- The First is not using all of his skill points. Base skill points = (2 Clr/Doom +1 human +3 Int) 6; Total skill points = (6 * 4) + (6 * 9) + (6 * 5) = 24 + 54 + 30 = 108. Concentration +21 (+3 Con -> 18 ranks). Heal +15 (+2 effective Wis -> 13 ranks), Knowledge (arcana) +21 (+3 Int -> 18 ranks), Knowledge (religion) +21 (+3 Int -> 18 ranks), Listen +11 (+2 effective Wis -> 9 cross class ranks), Spellcraft +21 (+3 Int -> 18 ranks) = 103 skill points. Suggestion: put the remaining 5 skill points into Heal, giving him the maximum of 18 ranks in that and a skill of Heal +20.

Posts: 9238 Jan 9 03 7:11 AM Harry Potter with Giant Levels Council of Magisters Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	- courtesy of IronTetsubo. 1. Page 2, Room 5. The AC of the Kuo-toan clerics is listed as 18, touch 10, flatfooted 20. Is this accurate? I've never seen someone's ac go up when flatfooted... 2. Page 5, column heading 3 in the Combat Adjustments table. "Claw or Att./Dmg.", esp when compared the second column (Slash or Bludgeon Att./Dmg.), implies there's something after the or... Claw or Bite? Claw or Piercing? Something else? And for that matter, where does piercing fall under this, and why didn't you just go with Natural Attacks? (claw, bite, tail, etc.) 3. Page 5, column heading 4 in the Combat Adjustments table. "Move Tail" means? Move Limit? Some sort of tail involved with this? 4. Page 5, footnote 3. Minor quibble, but this seems to apply more to column 3, not column 2, due to the description and columns. And it seems like it should apply to all 3 of the rows - not having it in all three is unnecessarily ambiguous. That's a style quibble, though, and no biggie. 5. Page 5, column 4, row 5. The character stuck in the water who is specifically not swimming moves as normal?! The swim check (at best) moves a quarter speed with no off-balance penalty... If they try the check and fail, they're down to the same situation as the "none of the above", except they're limited to 1/4 move! that doesn't make sense. They should either be limited to 1/4 move, or no move. 6. Page 5, section on Fire. Rules quibble here, but the way it's stated doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I much prefer your? statement in the forum that spell effects are magical - they work underwater the same as on land. In particular, the notes for fire spells say that if the spellcraft check is successful, they create a bubble of steam instead of the usual effects. Okay, but then it specifically states that the water surface acts as a barrier, stopping the spell effects on one side or the other. That doesn't make sense if the effect is turning the water into steam (if anything, steam rises...) And, of course, it doesn't deal at all with any of the other spell types (acid, sonic, electricity, cold). It also would have been real nice to have a section on casting spells underwater - obviously, you've got a problem with spells that have verbal components, and you're holding your breath.... 7. Page 5, section on Underwater Visibility. The concealment limits don't make sense - It says everyone has 1/4 concealment at 50 feet, 1/2 at 100 - this means to me that from 0-50 feet, there's no concealment, and from 50-100, there's 1/4. However, when you get to 9/10s, it says at 200 feet, there's 9/10s concealment, and beyond 200, there's total concealment. This means that a character standing at 199 feet has 3/4s, a character at 200 has 9/10s, and at 201 has total? I.e., there's a single spot rather than a range for 9/10ths concealment? Pretty strange - either the total concealment should start at 250 ft., you should scale the ranges down to 40 feet per, or you should dump the 9/10s "spot". I'd think it was a typo, but the+rules are exactly repeated with the same oddity in the murky water part. Also, the invisibility section at the end - how does this apply with the attacks from land section? i.e., if an invisible creature is waist heigh in the water, wha sort of concealment does it get? 8. Page 5, section on Holding your Breath. Last effects of water question. The first line says "any character can hold his breath for a number of rounds equal to twice his constitution score." Then, at the end, it says "vigorous activing, such as fighting, strains the character, reducing the time a character can hold his breath to a number of rounds equal to twice his constitution score." I presume the "twice" in the second line is a typo, and should be removed? 9. Page 6, the Vuoor description. The monk doesn't get a bite attack? 10. In area 6 of the Web Enhancement, the Wraiths should only have 32hp, not 82.
