Be they in an offical book or a home conversion?

04-25-05, 01:17 PM It's funny you should ask that. Just the other day I attempted to give the stats a 3.5 overhaul, but gave up after I couldn't decide whether to make it an animal or a magical beast.

D'you want I should have another crack at it?

Doesn't look like it would need much, if any, updating to be 3.5-compliant.

04-25-05, 01:55 PM Yeah I saw those. Those 3.0 stats seem a bit under powered form what they were in 2e IMO.

I may try to overhaul them myself. If your already doing this Olly, I would be very much interested in seeing what you come up with as well.

Combat
Aurumvorax attack opponents wantonly, fearing no other creatures.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, an aurumvorax must hit with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can automatically deliver bite damage each round and receives a +4 to attacks rolls when using claws on held opponents. The aurumvorax receives a racial bonus of +8 to grapple checks.
Rage (Ex): An aurumvorax that takes damage in combat flies into a berserk rage on its next turn, clawing and biting madly until either it or its opponent is dead. An enraged aurumvorx gains +4 Strength, +4 Constitution, and –2 AC. The creature cannot end its rage voluntarily.
Rend (Ex): If the aurumvorax successfully hits with two or more claw attacks in any round, it begins to burrow into the opponent's body. This attack automatically deals an additional 2d4+2 points of damage.
