Okay, so, one of the players in my game asked me a hypothetical question (which I love) about spellweavers, those things with the barn owl faces and 6 arms and the spelldisks from MM2 (I believe) and asked that since they have racial spellcasting, would they get it back if slain and awakened?
I wasn't sure since it doesnt say if spellcasting is su (which they don't get) or ex (which they do get) but since it's "as sorcerer" then I figure it's off cha which for skeles is 1, so you can't cast magic spells off it.
also, he asked if it would get 6 claws since it's got 6 arms and it only has 2 slams in its statblock. skeles usually get 1 attack for every natural weapon so I wasn't really sure how to answer this either.
if it doesn't cast, he's not interested in it as a skele (1d4 claws x6 blah)
so what's the deal? does it keep spellcasting? does it get more claws?
