1 The creature receives the listed bonus per die of damage inflicted in addition to any bonus it receives from a high Strength score. Great elders and paragons receive extra dice in addition to the bonus per die. For example, a great elder chimera’s attacks inflict 2d3+6/2d3+6/2d4+6/2d4+6/3d4+9/ 4d4+12.
2 The creature derives part of its damage bonus from increased size. The creature’s size increases by the listed amount (round fractions up), which might place it in a larger size class. For example, a great elder chimera is seven feet tall at the shoulder with a corresponding longer body that probably makes it a huge creature.
