This great viper brings up a very important point. Points values do not equal combat effectiveness or survivability. The guys have advantages that cost more than the great viper would as a racial template. However, its Brawling skill is pretty damn good. If it hits and a player doesn't succeed at defending against it, we're looking at minimal damage from the bit. But then the venom hits the player, and most players are going to be resisting with a roll of 3d against 5 or 6 and take 2d damage. Then for the next four rounds they'll be doing the same thing. Averaging about 7 damage a round, and assuming failed resist rolls, we're looking at around 32 damage. Definitely sufficient to kill or nearly kill a player. So even though it has those measly 10 hit points, if it manages to successfully bite someone in the party, there's a reasonable chance they're dead.

So those are some great beasts of The Beast Lands and such. There are also great raptors and great eels, but I didn't feel like dicking around with eels and Innate Attack or birds.
