I think I'm done statting up that frog thing now. Anyone see any crazy errors?

I decided on it being a combatant, animal, skills, and where to put its stat modifiers (though I'm a little unsure where they actually affect things). Perception almost always seemed to be given as a Good skill for most critters, so I gave it that as well.

Volt Frog
N Large animal
Init +5; Senses low-light vision, blindsense (electrical currents); Perception +10
DEFENSE HP 50
EAC 16; KAC 18
Fort +8; Ref +8; Will +3
Resistances electricity 5
OFFENSE
Speed 30 ft., climb 30 ft.
Melee slam +9 (1d6+5 B)
Ranged electrical tongue lash +12 (1d4+4 E)
Space 10 ft.; Reach 10 ft.
Offensive Abilities sap current
STATISTICS
Str +1; Dex +5; Con +1; Int –4; Wis +2; Cha -1
Skills Acrobatics +15, Stealth +10, Survival +10
ECOLOGY
Environment warm forests (Castrovel)
Organization solitary
SPECIAL ABILITIES
Electrical Tongue Lash (Ex) As an attack, the volt frog can strike at a target with its tongue. The tongue is covered in a multitude of powerful biological capacitors and electrodes. This attack has a range of 60 ft.
Sap Current (Ex) The volt frog may make a ranged disarm attempt against any target within range of his electrical tongue lash that is currently wielding a weapon or device that is powered by a battery. If this attack is successful, the battery in the weapon is completely drained, though not destroyed. If the volt frog uses his electrical tongue lash in the following round, it deals maximum damage.

I'm not too worried about this critter messing with their batteries too much. They each have a few extras at this point and will shortly have a way to recharge them anyways.

Overall I think the guidelines are fairly useful for creating things quickly, but the special abilities section and ability modifiers section hung me up for a bit.
