Monsters
p5: Delete “medium-sized” from the definition of a humanoid.
p5: In the paragraph regarding experience points, delete “in parenthesis” from the sentence starting with “The number in parenthesis….”
p6: The experience examples on page 6 are wrong. In the first example, the 5HD creature with 25 hit points would be worth 205XP (base 80XP + 5XP per hit point). In the second example, the 4HD creature with the special ability would be worth 60XP (40XP base + 20XP for special ability) + 4XP per hit point.
p6 (clarification): In computing experience points for creatures not in the book, the bonus XP values for Type I, II, and III abilities stack. For example, the Treant has an XP value of 585+7. Base XP for a 7HD creature is 180 with Type I, II, and III bonuses of 90, 135, and 180XP. If only the highest bonus were to be used, XP for a Treant would be 360+7XP, leaving 225XP unaccounted for. Adding the Type I and Type II abilities together (90+135) happens to equal 225, which is the unaccounted XP.
p8: Aboleth – In the Special section of the creature stat block, “Psionics” should be “Spell-like Abilities”.
p8 (provisional): Achaierai – No. Encountered is 5-8 (1d4+4). Solitary individuals are possible.
p9: Allip No. Encountered should be “1” instead of “solitary”.
p9: Allip are Extraordinary Undead (semi-intelligent, with great power, as per p121 of the PHB).
p9: Giant Ants are size Small.
p10 (provisional): Ape – No. Encountered is 4-16.
p10: Arrowhawk – In the Movement rating, delete “perfect”. This is a holdover from the SRD.
p10 (clarification): Assassin Vine surprise is an exception to the normal surprise rules, to make this creature hard to spot regardless of the searcher’s wisdom.
p11: Baboon number appearing in the descriptive text is correct (10-40).
p12-13 (clarification): The Behir’s breath weapon is treated as a lightning bolt in terms of damage (1d6 per level of the caster). Creature HD are used to determine caster level (see p4, HD description). Therefore, the breath weapon does 9d6 damage, save reduces damage by half.
p14 (provisional): Bugbears have a movement rate of 30ft., not 18ft.
