I'm planning to run the Ruby Phoenix Module for a PFS group.

Setting aside my complaint that this should have been a 2-slot PFS Scenario, instead of a stand alone mod...

While imputing the various characters into Herolab (mainly for spell access without having to look thru multiple books) I've found several errors in the various NPC stat blocks.

(I'm not thru yet so there will be more.)

Chung Po: The only way I could get his HPs to be the same as the module was to use 6 of his Favored class bonuses as hps. Non are used as Skill points or for extra Ki, Yet were are the other six spent? All on HPs should give him 6 more.
Several other errors could be due to Herolab: I'm three short for his CMB vs Grapple. Also his attacks come out at +16/+11 with the mod giving him +15/+10, and damage is also higher for me.
Also, a recuring problem with all monks is that their flurry bonuses do not match. Since this is for ALL mink's I've entered, I think it is a Herolab problem.

Ruby Phoenix Monks: I cannot get their stats to match up. Using the Heoic statblock, I come out 1 point short in either Str or Wisdom. And again, they underspent their Favored Class bonus by four. (they should either have 4 more HPS, Four more Skill points, or 1 more Ki point)
Also I have not had most fot he variant 's to have their weapon attack's match those given in the module. All but 1 so far have come out 1 lower than the module.
The wrong crit range is given for the Meteor Hammer.
The Shang Gou Monk's are told to replace Exotic Wpn Prof with Improved Trip. [u]Without them being proficient in the Shang Gou or Having Combat expertise.[/u] If I replace Mobility with Improved trip, and give them an extra feat to get Mobility back, their stats match the books.

Oremetsu Yasi: Again, his Favored Class bonus is underspent by 4. Otherwise everything matches.

As I find others, I'll post them

Next two.
Ganyavesha: Mod lists her with 6 more HPs than I can figure. (And I am including the temp HPS).
The stat block does not add the bonus from Divinew Power to the dagger attack.

The Chanters: The big one. The Bards' wpns and Armor makes them medium encumbered. This is not figured into the stat block at all. *affects their Acrobatics roll)
Also the Mod is missing 4 favored Class bonuses. (not listed in skills, hps, or performance/spells) And is also missing 1 starting language.

May I chime in 'again' with my normal rant that Paizo pick up its technical editing? Quality costs, it is true but so can a reputation for crappy quality control.

Maybe time to switch over from their in-house Excel stat block software to Herolabs. (Which is probably already happening given that the Mac version is out.)

Its not just stat blocks that gets missed.
