Sajek 09-27-07, 04:55 PM	Half Dragon Dragon. This was entirely legal in 3.0.
V8122 09-27-07, 05:19 PM	Half Dragon Dragon. This was entirely legal in 3.0. Actually, It's still legal in 3.5E. Both the Draconic and Half-Dragon templates can be applied to any "living, Corpreal creature". This also means that Half-dragon plants are legal...

Bauglir 09-28-07, 12:47 AM	A Thoon Thrall who later becomes a Lich and is then made non-dormant. One explosion every 1d10 days. A ghost is also acceptable, since they're only 1d4 days.

Omega_Grey 09-28-07, 07:31 AM	I actually did this the other day with a friend of mine, and the two weirdest things we came up with...I present, the most disgusting servants of good! Celestial Carrion Crawler and Half-Celestial Otyguh (best not to think about, the host of heaven was getting a little thin in numbers apparently...) Best if used together.
V8122 09-28-07, 09:50 AM	After thinking about this... 11(?).Nimble Ravenous Evolved skeletal Psuodanatural Anarchic Half-scrag Half-Fey Half-chaos-dragon draconic Arachnoid Fetch Voidmind.... cat. If applied in the correct order, this is completely legal.

lunoc 09-28-07, 10:42 PM	im not sure where this is from, but i once applied every single template in the monster manual to a archon hero. now that might not sound to threatening, but i made it a omni lycan, i took every animal and gave it the lycan template for each of them. this thing killed bane cause he got on his nerves
LivingShadow 09-29-07, 08:03 AM	Let's see... 1000 headed pyro half-dragon half-illithid hydra. That's up to 6000d6 on the half-dragon template's breath alone. (Not to mention the insane amount of saves you would have to make.)
dan_awesome 09-29-07, 09:37 AM	(I actually used this for a game once) Epic pseudonatural were-bear half red-dragon stone gaint and an insectile feral two-headed dragonkin
Slagger the Chuul 09-29-07, 12:03 PM	I've posted it elsewhere before, but the vivacious succubus lichfiend is a personal favourite. When she touches you, you're paralyzed; when she kisses you, she drains your life; when she's near you, you explode.
Senka 09-29-07, 12:05 PM	I've had a few ideas in the past... -Half-illithid mind flayer (legal if you're using the Underdark tempalte) -Mummified bone naga spirit naga (the bone naga tempalte can be applied to "any naga", not just a living one!) -Half-troll werewolf wolf (the half-troll tempalte can make most creatures into giants, that can then become lycanthropes) -Wereswarm of bats kobold monk(a swarm of bats is a Tiny[or, arguably, Medium] animal...) -Lich worm that walks vampire human sorceror (the worm that walks can be applied to any "formerly living evil wizard or sorceror". Undead are "formerly living". The template turns them into abberations, making them "alive" again. Then anotehr undead template can be slapped on.) -Zombie ti-khana skeleton tyrannosaur (the ti-khana tempalte cna be put on aly dinosaur [or some other creatures], with no mention of them having to be "living dinosaurs". This makes it into a magical beats, letting it become undead again!) My contribution, -Senka

drtompki 10-01-07, 12:38 AM	How about something sane and entirely scary for mid-level parties? 1/2 white dragon fire giants Think about it, this combination eliminates the cold weakness, adds a breath weapon, and just mask the CR 10 fire giant that much tougher.
Orchomenos 10-01-07, 11:57 AM	-Half-troll werewolf wolf (the half-troll tempalte can make most creatures into giants, that can then become lycanthropes) I say Senka wins! A wolf were-wolf, and it's legal! I once created this: - Shadow Half-Black Dragon Tauric Troglodyte-Megaraptor Blackguard. But it would be cooler with a few levels of Shadowdancer...
LivingShadow 10-01-07, 02:43 PM	Half-dragon stirges CR 4 and 6d6 breath weapon
zook1shoe666 10-02-07, 12:16 AM	Half-dragon stirges ROFL!!!
Yar 10-02-07, 03:06 AM	Half ilithid Stirge. Nuff said. -yar-
Senka 10-02-07, 08:40 AM	I say Senka wins! A wolf were-wolf, and it's legal! Thanks you! Do you mind if I add that to my signature? And now, a few more templated creatures (with numbers! That are probably right!): 29) Half-troll troll (I think it's legal) 30) Half-fey nymph (Like the troll, it's legal!) 31) Half-illithid half-dragon stirge, anyone? 32) Half-white dragon white dragon (Half-dragon drgaons have already been mentioned, but I wanted to call attention to the fact that the half- tempalte can be the same kind as the drgaon!) A note on half-drgaons: I don't beleive a creature can have multiple half-dragon templates. A few templates in Libris Mortis can, but I think half-red dragon and half-blue dragon still count as the same template.

A few templates in Libris Mortis can, but I think half-red dragon and half-blue dragon still count as the same template. It is debatable. The only template that can be added multiple times (You called it right) Evolved Undead. However, an evolved undead loses it's effectivness after twelve or so additions of the template.

lunoc 10-02-07, 08:09 PM	half dragon spider swarm so how many breath weapons is that?
V8122 10-02-07, 08:13 PM	That was the 53rd combination. It was also among the most disturbing so far.
zook1shoe666 10-02-07, 09:25 PM	That was the 53rd combination. It was also among the most disturbing so far. not Winged Eagle? :-p yeah thats a FREAKY one... it'd only get the one breath weapon.... that all of the spiders would exhale on each use.
V8122 10-02-07, 09:45 PM	not Winged Eagle? :-p yeah thats a FREAKY one... it'd only get the one breath weapon.... that all of the spiders would exhale on each use. It is most disturbing do to the questions raised by the horrid thought of it's conception.
zook1shoe666 10-03-07, 12:11 AM	It is most disturbing do to the questions raised by the horrid thought of it's conception. yeah true. so did that dragon and a spider swarm....
Orchomenos 10-03-07, 11:30 AM	yeah true. so did that dragon and a spider swarm.... What about a spider swarm eating the dragon alive, and due to some magical oddities, the swarm acquired the dragon power... OTOH, spiders usually lay a large amount of eggs together, and when they hatch, that forms a spider swarm. So we could say it's a dragon and a lone spider who did (...). :P Problem is, wait a few months, and you'll have thousands of small half-dragon monstrous spiders...
zook1shoe666 10-03-07, 02:17 PM	Problem is, wait a few months, and you'll have thousands of small half-dragon monstrous spiders... haha
lunoc 10-03-07, 03:09 PM	i meant that each spider was parented by a dragon. how many spiders in a swarm again? isn't it like 500. so 3,000d6 damage once per day. pc: hey! i made my reflex save!
zook1shoe666 10-03-07, 07:15 PM	i meant that each spider was parented by a dragon. how many spiders in a swarm again? isn't it like 500. so 3,000d6 damage once per day. pc: hey! i made my reflex save! but remember.... if you make your Reflex... its still half damage unless you have Evasion.... so a minimum damage of 1/2 x 3000 = 1500
Percussion 10-03-07, 07:37 PM	half dragon, half fiend, fiendish, dire weasel. cr 7. it almost qualifies for the assassin class. half dragon allows it to take half fiend and fiendish, and most other templates out there.
Secrets Untold 10-03-07, 10:37 PM	Vivacious Nymph. Not sure it's possible (only heard about the template here), but the concept of a creature that you can't look at, or you go blind, and can't go near, or you explode is fun. Also, who wouldn't want to look at (or go near) a nymph?
zook1shoe666 10-04-07, 12:26 AM	Half-Celestial Celestial Lesser Aasimar
LivingShadow 10-07-07, 08:37 AM	31) Half-illithid half-dragon stirge, anyone? While that would work the idea was to have an extremely low CR creatures swarming the PCs. (CR 10 could face 8 half dragon stirges at once for 48d6 damage in one round with a ref save for half.) I haven't seen the half-illithid template so it may work but I don't know. As for how many spiders are in a swarm A swarm of Tiny creatures consists of 300 nonflying creatures or 1,000 flying creatures. A swarm of Diminutive creatures consists of 1,500 nonflying creatures or 5,000 flying creatures. A swarm of Fine creatures consists of 10,000 creatures, whether they are flying or not.
Bauglir 10-07-07, 04:54 PM	Half-Iron Golem (successful saves) Incarnate Construct Warforged. Gotta wonder how that came into being. Especially if you give it one of the <Special Material> Body feats. Ordinarily it would lose its Composite Plating, but it doesn't lose any feats, so... now we've got a humanoid walking around with metal plates grafted onto his skin. What you want to do with this is have it take Renegade Mastermaker.
