Heh, I can DnDbeyond it posthaste...should the 'bite' be slashing or piercing damage? And the claw damage - "6 (1d4 + 3)" --> "5 (1d4 + 3)"?
Should be 5 (1d4 + 3).
For 6 average damage it'd have to be (1d6 + 3) but I prefer the claw's damage dice to be 1d4 like the 5E SRD Panther.
Updated the "Cleon Version" Cliff Raptor.
Bite should be piercing damage.
The slashing bite was deliberate.
The Cliff Raptor is described as having "razor-sharp teeth" in the original text, meaning its jaws have flesh-cutting teeth like a real-world dromaeosaur.
It's not stabbing its prey with its canines like a dog or cat would.
So I made the Bite do slashing damage rather than the piercing damage of a standard 5E bite attack.
Did consider renaming the action to "Razor Bite" to emphasize the sharpness.
Incidentally, I had the talons do piercing damage since one interpretation of the foot-claw's function was the velociraptors pushed the point into prey to hook into their flesh and pierce organs, rather than simply scratching, which could explain why the talon is so long.
and the damage average should be 6. 1d4 averages to 2.5 but rounds to 3, then add the 3 from DEX.
You round halves down for average damage in 5E, so the 5½ of 1d4 + 3 is 5 not 6.
