So...advanced Seismosaurus (MM2)? :smalltongue:

Also, just noticed, AFAIK, Brontosaurus, Diplodocus and Brachiosaurus don't have official 3.X stats?

Cheers - T

It's not all that big (though it might not be quite adult either). The art for the ordinary Seismosaurus shows a much chunkier beast than the real thing (renamed Diplodocus hallorum) would have been - ordinary MM2 non-advanced stats would do.

Diplodocus was statted in Dragon Magazine 318, and Dragon Magazine did have "Official" on the front at that point.

Starting with a "basic sauropod" then making modifications for particular genera (extended bite reach for longest-necked ones, extended tail slap reach for longest-tailed ones) might be easiest for those creating their own.

EDIT: Also Pathfinder did Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus & "Brontosaurus" - shouldn't be hard to 'port back into 3.5.
