04-17-07, 04:51 PM I was not sure where to post this, I figured this would be the best place to start, is anyone aware of a good template to apply to monsters / animals to make construct versions?

My problem is that I am planning a few adventures that will take place in a heavily Egyptian themed area and have the need of animate stone Crocodiles (crocodyles....? not sure of the spelling), I wanted them to be on par with the Stone Golem from the MM but the one in the book has two slam attacks (being a humanoid statue), any direction / advice?

I looked over the animate objects but it didnt seem to be adequate to my needs.

(Please forgive spelling errors, not myself today, stupid dopplegangers...)

04-17-07, 04:55 PM Bah, sorry I should be a little more specific:

The stone golem has two slam attacks (which of course make sense in the context) but not really fitting for a stone crocodile, I was thinking somthing along the lines of a bite attack and possibly a tail slap (sorry, big crocodile here, not a regular sized one).

04-17-07, 05:53 PM Dust-Stuffed is a template from Explorer´s Handbook. It is of the Living Construct subtype though, so I don´t know if that´s what you´re looking for (but you could call them Sand-Stuffed and make them specialized guardians).
