Just a general note for designing creatures that might not be obvious. Based on the pit books, number of attacks isn't a count of the number of appendages with pointy bits on them like in a lot of games. So while in other games a Jaguar might get two claws and a bite in AFF it gets one attack, but a giant that in other games gets one attack in AFF gets two or even three.

It's a count of how many opponents can be attacked in one round. The giants club or sword or whatever is so big that one sweep can hit multiple enemies. The Jaguar on the other hand can pounce on an opponent and will be attacking with all it's claws and teeth but only on that one. But a bigger cat might have the reach and speed to swipe first one opponent and then another.

A charge from something as big as the Hell Pig should be able to hurt two opponents and you see that in the pit books. Even when standing still it could bite one and trample or kick another at the same time. So it seems about right.


Got it, makes sense when you think about it
