Hippocampus/Kelpie

Kelpie Description should probably add that it can cast Charm Person (to trick their victim into mounting it as it rides into a lake or rescue its human form from drowning.)

Linnorm

It says it can "breath a cloud of fetid gas much like a dragon's breath", so why not just say it's 7d8 points of damage?

Alright, so what size? Maybe 30' x 80' cloud like a green dragon of the same size?

Those changes are probably small enough to be made without breaking the flow.

Also with the linnorm, there is nothing in the description about the poison in its bite. There is a lot of blank space on that page, there should be plenty of room for adding a couple sentences.

I'm not the one fixing the flow, but nothing screams new print candidate like new illustrations.

Currently r29 is the "print candidate" on the download page, should that be moved to the new r41 files description?

r29 is the print release as shown on Downloads; that will get changed once r4x gets finalized and submitted to Amazon, Lulu, etc.
