I was working on a first level encounter, and wanted to add riding dogs for interest. I was worried about balance, the riding dogs looked pretty tough on paper.

Looks like the Riding Dog is listed as CR 1/2 in the bestiary, while it's CR 1 in the pathfinder SRD Wiki.

With the trip attack the dog seems like a pretty formidable low level encounter. What's more accurate 1/2 or 1? Or does the riding fall somewhere between?

I noticed that huecuva appears in the preview Bestiary PDF but doesn't seem to be in the printed Bestiary? Though there is Skeleton Champion which is not quite the same thing.

The whole idea of good and evil is silly. You can't say a peasant is good or evil.

The idea of a Paladin being able to walk around constantly detecting evil, is also silly and game breaking. Treating this as described in the PHB is a total headache for a DM and a great way ruin a good game. Not allowing or modifying it gets can upset your players and create arguments at the table.

Evil, considered as a bad thing that must be expunged, and players that play to this create a problems.

I feel evil and detecting as such should be reserved for agents, not just worshippers, of evil gods. If a truly evil entity has invested some of it's power in you, that can be detected.
