Discrepency question

[Ishpumalibu]

I just bought the bestiary 2 and had a question about a discrepency I noticed, take for example the dhampir, it shows the stat adjustments for characters but the stat blocks give a different idea as to stat adjustments....

Monsters that have class levels are build on an elite array (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8).

If you look at the sample dhampir, his base array is:

Str 13, Dex 15, Con 12, Int 10, Wis 8, Cha 14

When you apply the racial mods (+2 Dexterity, +2 Charisma, –2 Constitution), you get exactly what's shown:

Str 13, Dex 17, Con 10, Int 10, Wis 8, Cha 16

If you are interested in more details of construction and references I can add them.

Ah okay thanks, I didn't realize there were different arrays, I thought you just build off straight 10 s
