- Stats modify attack/defense in a 0/30 range, instead of -10/20. Constitution has 0/12 range defense bonus.
- Tweaks to stone guardian attacks. Double attack does fast damage, more THC, less CS and ADM. 4 arms at same time does power damage, less THC, more CS and ADM.
- Tweaks to scorpion attacks. Tail attack does fast damage, more THC, less CS and ADC. Claw does power damage, less THC, more CS and ADC.

Not bad for less than two weeks of work.
