Bestiary Errata mistakes?!

Centipede Swarm poison DC is wrong. It says it includes a +2 racial bonus but that is apparently NOT added in. The math is wrong and as further evidence the DC for the poison should than be 2 higher than the distraction DC(since both DC's are constitution based). I noticed they recently changed the poison from con to dex damage, severely nerfing the rain of frogs spell which was already nerfed by a casting time of concentration + 2 rounds. I wonder why it needed the additional whimpafacation? Anyway it would help to have the correct poison DC. And I would think increasing the save to 2 consecutive saves or 1d6 dex would make the spell somewhat useful. As is, it is nearly worthless.

I've posted your found error of the save DC to the main Bestiary 1 errata thread.

I'm not sure what you're referring to with the Dex damage issue. I have a first printing of the first Bestiary, and it's always been Dex damage the centipede swarm's poison deals. As for the rain of frogs spell, the spell specifically says that it deals Con damage instead of Dex damage, so not sure why you think that spell deals Dex damage.

ignore the "dex damage" part, I forgot the con damage part was in the rain of frogs spell description itself. And thanks.

Hey guys, I think the weretiger and werebear hybrid forms have the wrong errata, they are shown as having the same stats as the base animal, but are missing the +2 str and con from being a were animal, can someone help me shed some light on this mistake?

I'm adding class levels to a frost giant and decided to reverse the math on the default frost giant to see how its skill ranks were spent.

To me it looks like the frost giant is short 10 skill points being spent.

Glad I'm not the only one that found the numbers to be off, though my results don't match the ones already posted in this thread.

Base Frost Giant Skills
Climb +13 Total
Mod: +9, Class Skill: +3, Feat: +0, Size: +0 = 1 rank

Craft +7 Total
Mod: +0, Class Skill: +3, Feat: +0, Size: +0 = 4 ranks?

Intimidate +7 Total
Mod: +0, Class Skill: +3, Feat: +0, Size: +0 = 4 ranks?

Perception +10 Total
Mod: +2, Class Skill: +3, Feat: +0, Size: +0 = 5 ranks?

Stealth +2 Total
Mod: -1, Class Skill: +0, Feat: +3*, Size: -4 = 4 ranks?
*Feat is Skill Focus (Stealth)

As a 14 HD giant with 10 INT, the frost giant should have 28 skill points. It appears to only have 18 spent. Is there something I missed?

Ah, I forgot to account for the armor check penalty the frost giant is incurring for wearing a chainshirt.

So it has -2 on Climb and -2 on Stealth for armor check penalty.

That means its total ranks are actually 4 higher.

Still wrong at 22 spent instead of 28, but a little closer.
