I was looking at the Gith in the DS Creature Catalog, and noticed that they've got "Inix Shell Armor" in their equipment. Is this a misprint, considering that the Gith stats are for Lvl 3-5 monsters, and the Campaign Guide gives "Inix Shell Armor" as a Masterwork (Lvl 16 equivalent) Scale? What do people think?

It is likely that they had them at different level to start with, and later on decided to lower the level. It is easy to overlook the equipment part in that case.

Does not really matter, as you can just change it to any level appropriate armor without it affecting their stats in any way - monster stats are just level scalable, not affected by the equipment, which is only for flavor.

The pregens also used armor that is listed as masterwork in DSCS.  I don't think it was intended that these be masterwork, but rather just "armor of an appropriately Athasian non-metal type."  I'm guessing that the "masterwork equivalence table" was constructed after all these creatures were given their armor.

That was my thinking too. Thanks for your thoughts...
