As the title implies I am working on making a mourntouched template for monsters. Mostly this will give the monsters an extra attack( Mourn blast a negative energy ranged touch attack that deals 2d6-4d6 depending on the CR of the monster). The idea for this stems from the fact that my latest campaign is going to be centered around the Mournlands and what the Mourning means to future Khorvaire. For now the group is adventuring on the Cyre river working as guards for a river merchant. Anyways, I'm going to use the Ravid as the base creature for this thing. The main differences are: The Mourntouched Ravid exudes negative energy( actually Mourn energy) which equates to the Bane spell( DC 14) fail means -2 to attacks. Ranged touch attack deals 2d6+3 negative energy. Dire Animate Object. Like animate object but objects take on a dire animation. Meaning that they deal acid with successful attacks and have slightly better AC. Everything else stays the same as the base creature. My question is, What the new CR be for this thing? And also, any advice on how I did this? I'm pretty new to the whole creating monsters thing and so would like any advice on this. Also, does it have how to make a template in any of the monster manuals?
