My question is about the labassu’s physical attributes. It says in dimension book 10 that they can hurt people in the physical realm as long as they are tangible. It also states their p.p.e is 4D6 + P.E number. However, their stats, list P.S N/A, P.P N/A, and P.E N/A. I checked palladium fantasy second edition and it says pretty much the same. I couldn’t find labassu in dark conversions. Is there something I’m missing on how to calculate P.P.E and physical damage while their tabgible?

One Thing.....Read the Descriptive Text for the monster. Your answer is there.

SideNote: I was reading the PF2 core book listing for the monster.

They possess people so the physical attributes are that of the host body.

Hello temba and welcome to the boards!
My personal opinion on the P.P.E. question is that the +P.E. is probably just a mistake. It is common to include P.E. in a P.P.E. calculation and it may be that the author just left it in without realising that the labassu doesn't have a P.E. As the labassu doesn't actually use its P.P.E. for anything, I wouldn't worry too much about it and leave it at the base 4D6.
Physical damage while in partly tangible form is on page 55 of Rifts Dimension Book 10, under "mega-damage" - it looks like their only available mode of attack is a bite, doing 2D6 mega-damage.
Note that the going half-solid ability is not present in the Palladium Fantasy version of this creature.
Hope that helps.

I agree with this.

P.E. is typically used in figuring out a Magic user's PPE. Normal people (non-magic users) don't get their PE score added to their PPE amount.
