I've noticed that there have been templates for making it easier to do monsters on the boards, but not one for monster templates. It's probably a silly idea but I just took a few seconds to whip up a bare bones one. Let me know what you think and I'll edit as necessary: <Template Type: Inherited and or Acquired Also add description of what creatures it can be applied to> Size and Type: Add changes to Size Class or creature type, and any subtypes that may be gained. Hit Dice: If the Hit Die type changes because the creature changed type (or conversely if it doesn’t) note that here. Speed: Not any changes in speed and any lost or additional movement types. If Flight is gained specify what it’s maneuverability class is. Armor Class: Note any changes to the base creatures natural armor bonus, or if it gains any bonuses to Armor Class such as Deflection. Attacks: Note any natural attacks gained here. If the base Attack Bonus must be recalculated because the base creature changed Type (or conversely if it doesn’t) also mention that here. Damage: Note any changes to damage (usually due to Size Class changes) here. Special Attacks: Mention whether or not the base creature retains any of it’s special attacks or gains any new ones here. Special Qualities: Mention whether or not the base creature retains any of it’s special qualities or gains any new ones here. Saves: Note any changes in Saving throws due to new bonuses or penalties, or if they must be recalculated because the creature has changed type. Abilities: Note changes in ability scores. Skills: Note changes in skills, any new skill bonuses or penalties, or if skills must be recalculated due to a change in type. Feats: Mention any changes in Feats or Bonus Feats here. Environment: <> Organization: <> Treasure: <> Challenge Rating: <> Advancement: <> Level Adjustment: <> Example of creature using template here:
