p. 9 Adlet - has the Diehard feat, but not Endurance, the pre-requisite for Diehard.
I was looking at feats in this thing's repertoire that could be replaced with Endurance, and I saw Multiattack. What on earth is this creature doing with Multiattack? It doesn't meet the prereqs (3 or more natural attacks). It's not even been mistakenly factored in to its bite attack bonus. Get rid of it, and replace with Endurance.

p. 24 Asura, Asurendra, the spirit blades in the stat block has a +27 attack bonus, but in the text description, it has a +29 (it looks like the text is correct, as BAB + Wis modifier). Also, the descriptive text before the stat block describes a four-armed humandoid, but it should be six-armed based on the number of claw attacks and the illustration.
Here's the question: Does the size penalty count towards this? In the stat block it's +27 as you say, and it's probably because they subtracted 2 for being Huge size. The question is, should they have?

p. 39 Behemoth, Thunder and p. 37 Behemoth, Tempest
Not sure if this is errata or not, but both of these have the Snatch feat. While they do qualify for it, I was under the impression that since the feat simply added the grab special ability, that baseline monsters didn't have it, but it was a feat to allow advancing monsters that didn't already have grab, and to give it to them (in particular, dragons).
Regardless, the feat's not applied to their stat blocks in the same way. The Tempest Behemoth does not have "plus grab" after it's bite or talon attacks, nor does it have "(+61 grapple)" after its CMB. The Thunder Behemoth does have "plus grab" after its bite damage, and does have "(+53 grapple)" after its CMB.
I wouldn't necessarily say that Snatch adds the grab ability, just that it allows use of one benefit of it (initiating a grapple after a successful attack), plus added benefits when using it against much smaller creatures. This makes me feel that the Tempest Behemoth probably has the right of it, but who knows?
Also, I'm not sure if the Tempest Behemoth would get to use it with it's talons. The feat itself specifically says claw or bite attack, and the UMR lists talons and claws as two separate types of natural attacks.

Might be a silly question, but why doesn't the Aghasura get iterative attacks on it's main hand?
Not a silly question, it should definitely be +26/+26/+21/+16
As a side note, wouldn't it make sense for this creature's Dual Wielder ability (and really any creature's, if they have it) to say something like "This ability counts as having the Two-Weapon Fighting feat for purposes of qualifying for feats." That way in case we wanted to advance this creature, we wouldn't have to burn a feat that does nothing for it.

p. 138 Graveknight
-Ranged attack composite longbow deals 1d8+11, but his strength and weapon training only add up to 9 (STR 8+ Weapon training 1). Should also deal 2d6 acid damage as part of the Channel Destruction ability.
Not only that, the attack scores for both of its weapons seems to be off, as well as the damage for the greatsword:
* Attack bonus (+1 greatsword) - Stat block: +25/+20
Computed: 10 (BAB) + 8 (Str) + 1 (magic weapon) + 2 (weapon training) + 2 (Weapon Focus and Greater Weapon Focus) = +23/+18
* Damage bonus (+1 greatsword) - Stat block: +19
Computed: 12 (1.5 Str) + 1 (magic weapon) + 2 (weapon training) + 2 (Weapon Specialization) = +17
* Attack bonus (composite longbow [Str +8]) - Stat block: +14/+9
Computed: 10 (BAB) + 1 (Dex) + 1 (weapon training) = +12/+7
Interesting pattern, everything seems to have a random +2 to it. If anybody can point out something we're not seeing, awesome, otherwise this all seems to be in error.
I think you're missing the desecrate (sacrilegious aura) bonus; +2 to attack and damage (and saves, and hit points per hit die).

You're damn right I am. I thought about looking into the desecrate spell closer but didn't when it just mentioned the increase in hit points in the aura description. Shame on me. Thanks DS

Actually, was dominate monster supposed to be dominate person instead? The DC 22 would make sense, and it would make more sense that one of this thing's 3/day SLAs was the 5th level dominate person instead of the 9th level dominate monster.

In the stat block Climb is listed as +6, and I know this is more of a suggestion, but increasing it to +7 could solve the problem (after all, with no ranks put into it and no feats or other abilities that alter it, why was it even mentioned in the stat block? Probably because it was meant to have that last rank):
Climb +7 = 6 (Str) - 3 (ACP) + 3 (class skill) + 1 rank

The damage values for this thing are also off. The damage as well as all of the reported values above would have worked fine originally if the thing's Str score had been 22 or 23, making me wonder if it was supposed to be at one point.
Slam (and constrict) damage bonus - Stat block: +9

The Annis Hag's Rend attack looks a bit odd to me (2d6+10). Rend would usually produce 1d6+10 damage according to the Universal Monster Rules and her other stats.
Maybe this is some legacy cut-and-paste error from 3.5? Or should she really be that dangerous?

Toshigami Kami - pg. 164
A couple more things to mention in addition to chopswil's errors.
- The attack bonus for the quarterstaff seems to be off, even still taking into account the missing bonus from haste chopswil reported. SB says +22 but:
20 (BAB) + 2 (Str) + 1 (Weapon Focus) + 1 (haste) + 2 (magic weapon) - 2 (Two Weapon Fighting)= +24
- Shouldn't fly speed be 90 ft. instead of 60 ft.? Constant fly spell-like ability grants 60 feet (good), and constant haste should increase that by another 30 ft.

The only explanation (and easy fix) to this was that a +8 Acrobatics racial mod was left out. This is believable because:
1) Racial modifiers to skills usually come in multiples of 4 and...
2) It's a kangaroo.
All guesswork, of course.
What's also weird is that this guy has a speed of 50 ft. which means his bonus to Acrobatics when jumping should be +8, not the +4 as described in the stat block.
Making this adjustment, I'm left with -
Acrobatics = 3 (Dex) + 3 (Skill Focus) = +6 (+14 when jumping)
Perception = 1 (rank) + 3 (class skill) = 4

Great Cyclops - pg. 61
Not technically an error, since powerful charge doesn't have an exact formula to go by when calculating how much damage it deals, but every monster in the first bestiary with this ability, however, totals it the same way: double damage dice + x2 Str mod.

If the antelope followed this rule, its powerful charge would be 2d4.
However, unlike the previous two posts I made, this creature randomly has a +2 for extra damage, which is either arbitrary or we have another bit of missing rules for this ability, that Str is treated as being at least +1 before doubling. Probably the former, though.

Oni, Ice Yai p. 207
The Special Ability description states that icy missile ought to be ranged touch, but the stat block offense line doesn't say that. See the fire yai for an example of what I think the line ought to look like.
The descriptive text also mentions a +20 attack bonus, which is nonsensical and should just be deleted.
|
|
Oni, Water Yai - pg. 212
Much like the Ice Yai that chopswil reported earlier, this creature's ranged attack doesn't mention it's a touch attack. While it doesn't say so in the ability description, every other oni with a ranged bolt that projects from its third eye (fire, ice, and void oni) are all ranged touch attacks, and it was probably intended that this one does too.

p. 144 Grootslang - should it's tail slap damage include "plus grab"? Based on the text from the impaling bite ability, "A grootslang can make a bit attack against any creature it is grappling with its tail...." it suggests that grappling with its tail should be common, but its stat block doesn't have any grab, improved grapple, etc type abilities.
Even its artwork suggests it should have this ability

Terra-cotta constructs - pg. 262

A couple of things with this:
1) I noticed you made Perception a class skill. I'm assuming because it's an undead class skill. Do augmented creatures that are class-based receive the class skills of their new creature type? Witches normally don't have Perception as a class skill, and a normal, living witch (or any other class) doesn't receive the class skills of the humanoid type. I did not make it a class skill because of that. Obviously I could be doing it wrong.
2) Sense motive is +14 in the stat block.
Here's what I got (still 4 left over):
Bluff +11 = 3 (Cha) + 8 (racial)
Fly +16 = 4 (Dex) + 4 (maneuverability) + 8 (racial)

This creature's CMB and CMD don't reflect that it has the Improved Disarm feat. It should say +40 (+42 disarm) and 54 (56 vs. disarm) respectively.
Just a heads up... we generally avoid putting this level of detail into stat blocks because in some cases it can really bloat out the length of that line, and in pretty much EVERY case I would rather have +1 more line of flavor text than make the Base Atk/CMB/CMD line run into a second line.

That's fine, I'll stop reporting those then. While I'm fine with the idea of people figuring it out for themselves, I was only mentioning them for sake of consistency because other Improved <insert combat maneuver here> feats incurred a special mention in the CMB and CMD lines.

p. 252 Criosphinx - What's the correct damage for swooping charge? The stat block lists 4d6+12 but the ability description lists 4d4+12 or 6d4+12 if it drops at least 20 feet.
The most logical guess is that the ability description has the right of it, as that fits in line with how powerful charge ability works.
