Sorry about the previous post's name, you can tell I'm on digest mode...

Generally speaking, these are great, Robert!

Two quibbles:

Dunno what this guy's mass is, but he's going to have trouble feeding 
himself if he can't do more than 1d damage. He'll have to eat a whole 
lot of little somethings. I'd sort of expect him to eat a smaller 
number of bigger things, but that would imply an attack (talon?) with 
more than 1d damage.


Second quibble is that I'm not sure I agree with the IQ3 rating. 
Modern herbivores aren't that stupid - horses can go IQ7. Game 
reptiles aren't that stupid - dragons and reptile men can go 
arbitrarily high IQ. Don't see why dinos should be that stupid. In 
any case, practically no carnivores rate that stupid.
