I did the math, and re-did the math, for the Balor's melee attack damage and natural attack damage.

It doesn't seem to be correct.

The balor's STR is 35 for a +12 bonus and he is using TWF/ITWF, thus the damage values should be:

+1 large Vorpal longsword: 2d6+13
+1 large Flaming whip: 1d4+7 plus 1d6 fire
Slams: 1d10+12

The book lists them as:

+1 large Vorpal longsword: 2d6+8
+1 large Flaming whip: 1d4+4 plus 1d6 fire
Slams: 1d10+7

I checked the MM 3.5 errata and there is no errata on the Balor's damage.

Is it me doing something wrong or just typos ??

The corrections are in the SRD.

The whip is 1d4+6, by the way. Not 1d4+7.

Copy and paste error from 3.0.

Isn't the whip still in error ??

Since it is a +1 Flaming whip, that makes 1/2 STR 35 bonus of +12 = +6 and +1 enhancement bonus for a total of +7.

Can anyone confirm whether my math is correct or not . . . should the Balor's +1 large Flaming whip do 1d4+7 damage, instead of 1d4+6 damage ??

Thanx, it was making me wonder if I was missing something.
