Wildshape corner cases


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


I'm not sure where this question belongs, it's not a rules questions, it's more of a design inconsistency question.

The velociraptor in bestiary 4 seems to have Improved Critical w/o actually stating that it does. It seems like every other bestiary entry I've seen with an improved crit range either explicitly has Imp Crit as a feat (bonus or otherwise) OR a Special that does a similar thing.

Why this is pertinent to Wild/Beast Shape is that those feats/specials aren't granted by the spell, meaning that a PC never gets to use them.
It just seems like an odd inconsistency that a PC does get the improved range in this case, and I was wondering if it's intended?
(Are there other entries with "better than average" critical, also without feat/special?)


It looks like an error. Either it should have had a special ability for improved critical (or the actual feat as a bonus feat), as you mention would be the norm, or it's a typo and it shouldn't have had an improved critical range at all.


Or it has really sharp teethies!
