01-26-06, 03:15 PM I give you Grulmph.

To truly understand the Abyss, all one need to is study the thing called 'Grulmph'. It appears to all viewing it as a rotting pile of slimy meat, with various twisted and distorted appendiges that might have been arms, legs, and wings. Beneath a layer of slime and rot, it skin is a mottled mix of scales of differing sizes and colors, and it radiates a sickly heat not unlike that of a boiler or furnace. Its face is long since twisted beyond any racial recognition, teeth growing out at odd angles, but its eyes shine with an unsettling light of sentience and hatred for its ravaged form.

Grulmph is a hideous and feeble creature, the creation of a long-standing challenge between Demon Lords. Taken in raids, each Demon Lord has used strange and powerful magic to modify the creature, mutating it further and further, while taking great pains not to destroy it. Yeenoghu believed himself to be the victor of the contest after his vassal the King of Ghouls transformed the creature into an undead, but Orcus came into possession of Grulmph not long after, and showed that the contest was far from over...

This should put me ahead by 6 templates or so.

Strangebugger

Strangebugger appears only after dusk in the deepest desert, the remains of a creature that never should have been. A horror to behold, he appears as a twisted, man-like tree surrounded by shadow and a cloud of stinging sand. Great whispy wings flare out from his back and claws grow long from his branch-like hands...

Challenge Rating: 24
Treasure: Standard
Alignment: Always chaotic evil
Advancement: By character class
Level Adjustment: +51

Breath Weapon (Su): 60-foot line of sand and dust every 2d4 rounds. 7d6 damage (DC 20 reflex save halves)

Corner of the Eye (Su):
As Fiend Folio.

Daylight Weakness (Su): If Thingy is exposed to natural sunlight (not merely a daylight spell), takes a -2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks, and loses 4 points of Charisma.

Evasion (Ex): Thingy can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If he makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, he instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if Thingy is wearing light armor or no armor. If Thingy is helpless he does not gain the benefit of evasion.

Naturally Psionic (Ex): Thingy gains 1 bonus power point.

Planar Jaunt (Sp):
Once per day thingy can travel to any elemental plane, the Astral Plane, or the Material Plane as though using plane shift cast by a 13th level caster. Thingy and any willing creatures brought along appear at a random location on the destination plane. Thingy and the creatures brought on the planar jaunt remain on the other plane (or any location on any plane they travel to from there) for three minutes. When this duration expires, Thingy and all creatures on the planar jaunt return to their original positions on their origin plane. An effect that suppresses or dispels planar jaunt sends Thingy and creatures brought along back to the exact places from which they left. If the space from which Thingy originated (or a creature that accompanied her on the planar jaunt) is occupied upon its return, the half-janni (or its companions) appears in the nearest unoccupied space.

Shadow Blend (Su): as per Shadow Mastiff ability.

Spell Absorption (Su): As MM III.

Vulnerability to Fire: Thingy takes half again as much (50%) damage as normal from fire, regardless of whether a sving throw is allowed, or if the save is a success or a failue.

Wind Walk (Sp):
As Fiend Folio.

Skills: Thingy has a +8 racial bonus on hide checks made in a sandy or dusty enviroment.

01-27-06, 09:26 PM Uh, Tribble? Sorry to burst your strangebubble, but the CR cap is 20.

I'll be submitting my own beastie sometime later.
The Vorpal Tribble
01-27-06, 09:38 PM Well, without hurting the build I could easily remove 2-3 that together raise it above 20th and still have it at 18 Templates and leading by 3.

*shrugs*

I'm not touchin' the thing no more :ghosted:

01-27-06, 09:47 PM Sorry Tribble, but the first rule listed was:

The rule are Simple: The person who put the most template without breaking a Cr of 20 on the monster Win!!!

That said, you could probably still beat my entry. There are four CR +2 templates in there; all you need is at least two different +1 CR templates that still work, and up to eight.
speeblefreak
01-27-06, 10:28 PM Guys, I'm currently at 19 templates and CR 1/2. I will win this thing.

01-27-06, 10:41 PM Guys, I'm currently at 19 templates and CR 1/2. I will win this thing.
CR 1/2 with 19 templates? You are aware we are limited to only one +0 template, the rest must be a +1?

01-28-06, 09:10 PM If your serious, you won't win because you have to add templates. Templates change parts of a monster like size, abilities, CR, and/or anything else. If you are being a jerk, then thanks for wasting time.

Evasion (Ex): Thingy can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If he makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, he instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if Thingy is wearing light armor or no armor. If Thingy is helpless he does not gain the benefit of evasion. Naturally Psionic (Ex): Thingy gains 1 bonus power point. Planar Jaunt (Sp): Once per day thingy can travel to any elemental plane, the Astral Plane, or the Material Plane as though using plane shift cast by a 13th level caster. Thingy and any willing creatures brought along appear at a random location on the destination plane. Thingy and the creatures brought on the planar jaunt remain on the other plane (or any location on any plane they travel to from there) for three minutes. When this duration expires, Thingy and all creatures on the planar jaunt return to their original positions on their origin plane. An effect that suppresses or dispels planar jaunt sends Thingy and creatures brought along back to the exact places from which they left. If the space from which Thingy originated (or a creature that accompanied her on the planar jaunt) is occupied upon its return, the half-janni (or its companions) appears in the nearest unoccupied space. Shadow Blend (Su): as per Shadow Mastiff ability. Spell Absorption (Su): As MM III. Vulnerability to Fire: Thingy takes half again as much (50%) damage as normal from fire, regardless of whether a sving throw is allowed, or if the save is a success or a failue. Wind Walk (Sp): As Fiend Folio. Skills: Thingy has a +8 racial bonus on hide checks made in a sandy or dusty enviroment.

speeblefreak 01-27-06, 09:26 PM	Uh, Tribble? Sorry to burst your strangebubble, but the CR cap is 20. I'll be submitting my own beastie sometime later.
The Vorpal Tribble 01-27-06, 09:38 PM	Well, without hurting the build I could easily remove 2-3 that together raise it above 20th and still have it at 18 Templates and leading by 3. shrugs I'm not touchin' the thing no more :ghosted:
dok 01-27-06, 09:47 PM	Sorry Tribble, but the first rule listed was: The rule are Simple: The person who put the most template without breaking a Cr of 20 on the monster Win!!! That said, you could probably still beat my entry. There are four CR +2 templates in there; all you need is at least two different +1 CR templates that still work, and up to eight.
speeblefreak 01-27-06, 10:28 PM	Guys, I'm currently at 19 templates and CR 1/2. I will win this thing.
The Vorpal Tribble 01-27-06, 10:41 PM	Guys, I'm currently at 19 templates and CR 1/2. I will win this thing. CR 1/2 with 19 templates? You are aware we are limited to only one +0 template, the rest must be a +1?
speeblefreak 01-27-06, 11:28 PM	I never saw a rule against templates that gave the creature a set CR.

sedrorovin murghurobag 01-28-06, 04:27 PM	My orc has platemail and a battleaxe. Do I win?
Bongitybongbong 01-28-06, 09:10 PM	If your serious, you won't win because you have to add templates. Templates change parts of a monster like size, abilities, CR, and/or anything else. If you are being a jerk, then thanks for wasting time.
speeblefreak 01-28-06, 09:48 PM	Of course he wasn't being serious. :rolleyes:
Bongitybongbong 01-28-06, 10:02 PM	some people I play with are like that and they aren't being a jerk
