According to MM, when a template changes a creature type it gains the "augmented subtype". So if you apply the "corrupted creature" template to a pyroclastic dragon it becomes ---> Aberration (Augmented Dragon, Extraplanar, Earth).
It is possible to apply the "Dracolich template" later on? :eek:

I would say no... because whether a creature can be used with the dracolich template is a matter of its type, not any subtypes it might possess... of course that is just my interpertation of the rules as written... generaly when it comes to templates if it improves your gaming experience I say go for it.

Hmm... I suppose technically, would it be an Augmented Dragon? I'd say that, corrupted or not, it would still be a dragon. I don't, however, think it says that it would be augmented, just become an abberation, so, no, I'm pretty sure you couldn't apply Corrupted and Dracolich templates.

That's right Nuntius, corrupted template says nothing about Augmented, nevertheless MM 3.5 states that whenever a template changes base creature type the creature also gets the Augmented subtype.
