Can someoen help me work out the stateblock on a T-Rex with animal growth and strong jaw on?

[Grayfeather]

We talked about this the other day but I'm having a hard time figuring out the numbers.

[Thalandar]

oh, ouch...maniacal laugh, guess what the party is running into next week!

I will put it on Hero labs when I get home and share then.

I would be most thankful. No augmented summoning on this btw.

kk

PCs playing Skull and Shackles AP, last part of Isle of Empty eyes, they are suppose to have a big feast next week. One of the got the idea, hey the Island full of dinosaurs-wouldn't it be impressive to have roasted t-rex at the feast.....

Now, see the party ticked off the nymph this week and she casts druid spells....maniacal laugh, I forsee PCs swallowed whole in the near future

The damage on the bite seems odd. I figured double dice and up one die. So I was expecting 8d8. Also the base attack didnt go up from +20 even though str went up. Can anyone explain this?

Hell, why dont you just Awaken it while you're at it. Throw him a few levels in Druid.

[Arizhel]

throw in vital strike, that will learn em!

Hero Lab went with 4d6 -> 6d6 for animal growth's size increase (which was probably taken from the Improved Natural Attack feat description), followed by strong jaw doubling the dice because it's already Gargantuan/Colossal.

As for the attack bonus (not base attack) staying the same, it's because while animal growth gives a +8 Strength (and thus a +4 bonus to hit), changing the creature's size from Gargantuan to Colossal takes its size modifier from -4 to -8.

I should not have doubted Hero Lab but the math didn't make sense at first.

[Malag]

He still has kind of low attack bonus honestly.
