Sorry if I’m making mistakes but I’d appreciate it if someone could point out where. It seems to me the unique dragons full attack stats are incorrect.
Necrozyte has a BAB +26, STR bonus +10, Amulet +3, and takes a 5 point Power Attack – that should make for a bite +34 (2d8+23), not +32 (2d8+18). Secondary attacks are likewise off by +2 (…+5).
Vermirox: BAB +27, STR +10, 3 pt PA = +34 (…+18), not +32 (…+13). Secondaries also off by +2.
Xyzanth: BAB +33, STR +12, 10 pt PA = +35 (…+28), not +31 (…+22). Secondaries also off by +4.
Brazzemal: BAB +34, STR +14, 10 pt PA = +38 (…+31), not +34 (…+24). Secondaries also off by +4.
Also, Mother Worm: BAB +32, STR +16, 10 pt PA = +38 (…+34), not +30 (…+26). Bite should therefore be +33, not +25.
I don't have the magazine in front of me now to check, but are you including size modifiers in your calculations?
I don't have the issue yet myself, but it does sound like you've forgotten the size modifiers. :)
You guys are absolutely right. I was forgetting size modifiers. Thanks!
I don't know why the damage bonuses don't match up, though.

According to the Monster Manual (page 69), a Huge Dragon does 2d8 points of damage with its bite, plus the modifier for Strength.
In this case add another +8 to the damage (3 for the amulet, 5 for the power attack).
Perhaps you're adding 1.5x the Strength modifier? If so, that is only the case when the creature has one form of natural attack (like, for instance, a wolf or dire wolf). Likewise the modification for the power attack doubling in the case of a two handed weapon doesn't apply to a natural attack.
Hope this helps,

Yes, Rhen, you are right. Thank you.
