Chapter 4 spoilers - Teraktinus’ statblock looks...off.


Rise of the Runelords


Hey all, I’m about to run the back half of Stones over Sandpoint, and my party is engaging Teraktinus at the beginning of next session (I’ve got about a week, don’t worry lol). While I was looking at his stats, I noticed some very strange things; I’ve been referencing the SRD stats because I heard that the book version has his attack bonus calculated incorrectly, but if I remember correctly these problems are present in the book as well; https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/unique-monsters/cr-10/teraktinus/

1: His HP seems inflated. Normal giants have 102 HP, and he has 151, after only 2 levels of ranger. Where did these 49 HP coming from?
2: What’s up with his attack damage? His heavy pick does 1d8+11, but his strength bonus is only +8, and it’s only a +1 weapon. Where are the additional 2 points of damage coming from? He does not have weapon specialization either, which is what I initially thought must be the case.
3: He has way too many feats! After 2 levels of ranger, he would gain 2 additional feats, one of which is a TWF style feat from the Ranger style ability. So why does he have 5 more feats than the normal stone giant?

There may be a good explanation for these things! But I don’t know it (this is my first Pathfinder campaign). So, does the math check out and I just don’t fully know the rules behind it? Or is the statblock busted and I’m better off stating him up myself?
