I noticed a problem with barbarian statblocks. Those who use composite bows have the damage listed with raging strength, and yet their attack without rage have the bow with the same attack bonus.

Either the bow should have lesser damage bonus or the attack should be decreased due to insufficient strength to pull it... unless the barbarian has throwing returning bow...

I'll start with the individual stat block issues in a few days but to start with "Knowledge (arcane)" appears far too often when it should be "Knowledge (arcana)"

And don't forget the myriad characters that use vital strike with spring attack.


When did the official no spring and vital strike thing happen? I will check for errors as well.

Liberty's Edge

Spring attack is a full round action so you can't use the attack action required by vitals trike with it.

My question to Catdragon is:
the characters have both feats
or
they have that tactic listed in their combat options?

I have found 2 monks and 1 rogue where the text suggest that kind of tactic, and for the 2 monks it can be meant as an "or" option, not an "and".
The rogue is clearly wrong.

Monastic sniper, p 104
"If he’s outnumbered, the monk uses Spring Attack and Vital Strike to whittle down his foes."

It is doubtful if it is an error, it could be meant as an "or".

Grove Guardian, p. 109
"Against foes too large to grapple or immune to stunning, she uses her ki pool to boost her movement, then Spring Attack with Improved Vital Strike to make hit and run attacks."

Vaultbreaker, p. 206
"If forced into melee, she uses Spring Attack and Vital Strike to make quick, devastating attacks before leaping away."


Probably more a nitpick than an error, but on pg 59, the designation of Soufara Ebonwind as an elf seems to stand in contrast to her [kick-ass] artwork. By this I mean that her more human-like irises and curves more strongly suggest a half-elf than an elf.

That said, I really hope the codex artwork gets avatarized in the near future. I'd love to use Soufara's face for one of my half-elven PbP NPCs. :)

So, "a myriad" actually means "three" these days?

Ask catdragon. Maybe he was referring to the guys with both feats. Those are abundant.

In retrospect there are only 4 that have it in their stat block.But IMO, that is 4 too many.


(I realize I'm posting this under NPC Codex Errors, but I want to give them the benefit of the doubt before claiming this as an error.)

Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm trying to break down the "Rider of the Steppe" Paladin (pg. 121) (as it intrigued me enough for me to want to create a similar player character), and I can't seem to get the skill points figured out. I have a feeling the Int score was originally a 12 when the character was designed and then lowered to 10 without adjusting the rest.

First of all, she has a bonus language although she only has 10 Int. I see nothing that enables her to obtain another language. Also, taking into account ability modifiers, class skill bonuses, and her skill focus, she has put in 36 points into her skills. The max amount of skill points she could have obtained at level 14 is 29.

I'm probably missing something that will make me feel dumb, but at the moment, I can't resolve this conundrum. Does anyone see something in the stat block that I'm overlooking?

Designer, RPG Superstar Judge

(2 from paladin, 1 from favored class) x 14 levels = 42 skill ranks

3 in Heal
5 in Intim
5 in Kn (geog)
5 in Kn (local)
5 in Perc
4 in Ride
10 in Stealth
5 in Surv
= 42 points

She shouldn't have Goblin as a language, that is an error.

Well now I feel dumb. I never noticed that classes get X number of skill ranks EVERY level. *embarrassed* I need to focus on just one RPG and stop missing basic rules like that. Thanks for confirming that it was indeed my error.

Although shouldn't it only be 2 ranks in Ride and 8 in Stealth? She has +6 bonus from Dex and her mithral breastplate is only a -1 armor check penalty.


Also it seems she's only being given a +3 Dex bonus to AC. Shouldn't she be given +5 since again she's wearing a mithral breastplate?

Only one of those, the Grove Guardian, actually says they are using the two together, though. All the rest merely say they use both of them, not that they use both of them at the same time.

I'm not going to get into publicly checking details on all of these stat blocks, but to finish the discussion of this one:

Yes, her mithral breastplate should have a max Dex of +5 and an ACP of –1. It looks like the version of the spreadsheet used didn't auto-detect the mithral and alter the stats for it and it wasn't adjusted manually. That'll affect those two skills and her AC.

Maybe not an outright error, but kind of silly:

The Celestial Theurge (p. 228) does not have high enough Charisma. By the rules, she is incapable of casting her 3rd level sorcerer spells.

(My suggestion to GMs: Make her Wildblooded. The Empyreal bloodline is the wild version of the bloodline she already has, it allows her to cast her sorcerer spells from Wis instead of Cha, and it doesn't really impose any other changes on her stat block.)


Another one:

Appendix 2, p. 311, High-Level Pirate Crews:

The Pirate Queen from page 133 is listed in this appendix as being a human. She's a halfling in her stat block.

The SB lists +11 for Bluff. Although bluff is taken up to +8 by versatile performance, the designer has chosen to overlap that with 3 ranks spent on the skill, producing this line:
Bluff +11 = +3 ranks, +2 ChaMod, +3 skill focus, +3 class skill
(logically, why not put the skill focus on Perform (act) and make that, Bluff, AND Disguise all +11? "Cause sometimes designers make suboptimal characters just because," I think SKR once said...)
seems odd the same level he takes versatile performance (act) he would also takes a skill rank in bluff too.
