Korone 11-09-06, 05:20 PM	Added organization and made some correction. Oh, and bump !
Sorcen_Anenooata 11-09-06, 09:53 PM	I like the concept of having more spawn than just the chromatics. I'm interested to see what other dragons you use for spawn. If your taking suggestions, how about the hellfire wyrm, theres variations of them as true dragons so its viable and they already live in Baator so they're bound to have been in contact with Tiamat at some point.
Korone 11-10-06, 08:42 AM	Well, I had the fang dragon in mind too. Maybe the shadow and deep ones too, but I haven't really looked at them yet. Weirdly, I haven't even thought about the hellfire wyrm. I'm working on one right now. And go ahead for suggestion, they're all welcome.
Korone 11-10-06, 09:56 AM	Here's the first hellfirespawn. Hellfirespawn Burner Medium Monstrous Humanoid (dragonblood) Hit Dice: 7d8+14 (46 hp) Initiative: +6 Speed: 30ft., fly 50ft. (perfect) Armor Class: 22 (+6 Dex, +6 natural), touch 16, flat-footed 16 Base Attack/Grapple: +7/+9 Attack: Claw +9 1d6+1d4(fire)+2 or Hellfire ray +14 3d6(fire) Full Attack: 2 Claws +9 1d6+1d4(fire)+2 or Hellfire ray +14/+9 3d6(fire) Space/Reach: 5 ft./5 ft. Special Attacks: Hellfire ray Special Qualities: Immunity to fire, paralysis, and sleep, smoking, infernal aura, blindsight 150ft., levitate, Tiamat's favor Saves: Fort +4, Ref +11, Will +8 Abilities: Str 14, Dex 22, Con 15, Int 5, Wis 17, Cha 6 Skills: Listen 8, Hide 11 Feats: Weapon focus (hellfire ray), Precise shot, Flyby attack Environment: Any fire based environment Organization Pair, pack (4 or 6) Challenge Rating: 8 Treasure: Standard Alignment: Always lawful evil Advancement: By character class Level Adjustment: — An eyeless draconic humanoid levitate around you, his body being heavily spiked, its dark red and black scales moving as if it were melting lava. Smoke comes out from his body constantly, as an ever burning giant torch. Born as twin from hellfire wyrm's eggs, these spawn are very dangerous, violent and act with a disturbing synchronization between themselves. In fact, if you go into their territory or if they had the initiative to prepare themselves, most thing are doomed to their death. Few have seen them through their blinding and choking smoke and even fewer have survived to talk about it. Hellfirespawn burner guards hellfire wyrm's lair and act as tactical assassins in Tiamat's army, infiltrating building, filling it with smoke and destroying every living creature in it. Hellfirespawn burner are generally 6 feets tall and weight 190lbs. They speak Draconic but barely never bother to do so. Combat "You doesn't fear Hell untill it came from the depths to kill you." Hellfirespawn burner favor closed places such as caverns and buildings, being able to use their smoking ability to full efectiveness. When completely submerged with smoke and in range, they attack with their hellfire ray. Hellfire ray (Su) The hellfirespawn burner can shot a ray of hell fire from its hands. Such rays can be shot at a range of 80 feets, dealing 3d6 damage, half fire, and other half coming from infernal power and is therefore not subject to reduction by protective elemental magic. It is a ranged touch attack and is threated as a projectile weapon. Smoking (Ex) The hellfirespawn burner is constantly smoking and produce a lot of it. Each round, twenty cubic feets of smoke is produced (or four complete squares). The smoke is considered normal smokes for any effects it can inflict. A character who breathes the smoke must make a Fortitude save each round (DC 15, +1 per previous check) or spend that round choking and coughing. A character who chokes for 2 consecutive rounds takes 1d6 points of nonlethal damage. Also, smoke obscures vision, providing concealment to characters within it. Infernal Aura (Su) Every creature within five feets of the hellfirespawn burner takes 2d4 points of fire damage. It can suppress this aura as a free action. Levitate (Su) The hellfirespawn burner can levitate at a speed of 50ft. per round and have a perfect maneuvrability. Tiamat's favor (Su): Every spawns adjacent to the hellfire spawn burner are immunised to fire, unafected by smoke effect and can see perfectly throught it.
Sorcen_Anenooata 11-10-06, 11:13 AM	Awesome Korone, the fang dragons could be cool as well. What about prismatic and force dragons. Check out the RavinRay's Dracodex for a pretty complete listing of dragons and that can give you some ideas of which ones. The CR looks fine by the way, it may be a point or two too low but I'm not sure.
Dracomortis 11-10-06, 12:23 PM	I'd bump up the hit points on the hellfirespawn burner; at level 8, the PCs are going to kill it in one or two rounds easy. Other than that, looks pretty good. I like the idea of Tiamat creating other types of spawn besides the chromatics; makes sense that she'd want a greater variety. Oh, and if you're interested at all, I've done a blackspawn slitherer (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=9837475&postcount=204), a bluespawn render (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=9474096&postcount=15), and a redspawn lavashark (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=9770559&postcount=77).
Korone 11-10-06, 12:38 PM	Sorcen: Thanks. But doesn't prismatic dragons have their own god ? If yes, it doesn't really make sense to me that Tiamat create spawns out of them. And as far as I remember, the force dragon doesn't have an evil alignment. I might be wrong though... But there's some interesting stuff in the Dracodex that I will surely use. Dracomortis: Sure, the PCs would kill it without much effort. But if they are stuck in deep smoke and a couple of these things attacks them, it could turn very bad for them. They'll be chocking and receiving fire attacks from a completely concealed opponent. Unless they have any way to get rid of the smoke, they're pretty much burned. And yes, I have seen the three spawns you have created. Very nice and already incorporated in my game. :) If you're going to create other spawns of Tiamat, we could use this thread as an index of homemade spawns. Here's an other. And again, the CR must be completely wrong(?). Picture (http://xs.to/xs.php?f=65877698.JPG&h=xs308&d=06455) Redspawn bomber Gargantuan Dragon Hit Dice: 12d12+84 (162 hp) Initiative: +2 Speed: 40ft., fly 250ft.

Although its head is heavily horned and have no sting on its tail. Redspawn bomber are the high sky artillery used in Tiamat's army. Commanded by redspawn arcaniss, these huge creature are used as mount for long travel and combats. They grow quickly and can reach immense size. Redspawn bomber lenght around 50ft. and weight 80 tons. They understand draconic but cannot speak it. Combat Redspawn bomber attack with their breath as much as they can when fighting non-flying opponent. When fighting fire immune or flying creature, they use their large number of natural weapons agaisnt them. Breath Weapon (Su) The redspawn bomber have three breath weapons. One is a ball of explosive magma, which is generally thrown from the air. Once it hit something, the ball explode in a 10 feet radius, dealing 6d10 fire damage. If the ball is thrown on a specific target, such as a creature or object, it must make a ref save or it receive an additional 1d8 bludgeoning damage. Its second breath weapon in a line of semi-liquid fire. The line is 50 feets long and deal 4d10 fire damage. Since the line is semi-liquid, the breath stay active on the ground for 2d4 rounds as a 5 feets large, 10 feets high wall of fire. Anything that go through that wall of fire receive 2d10 fire damage. Its third breath weapon is a fire ball similar to the spell of the same name. The redspawn bomber can spit a ball of fire with great velocity. The ball of fire is spit in a direction and continu its way up to 1000 feets away before it fall to the ground. When the ball hit something solid, it explode in a 30 feets radius, dealing 10d6 fire damage. The redspawn bomber's breaths are usable each 1d4 rounds. DC 25 Mighty swing (Ex) When using its gore attack, the redspawn bomber can target three adjacent square that he threaten. The attack apply to all creature in these squares. Make one attack roll and apply that roll agaisnt each defender. Tiamat's favor (Su) Every spawn adjacent to the redspawn bomber is immunised to fire.
Dracomortis 11-10-06, 12:46 PM	Heh, I overlooked the part where the burner can see through the smoke, although I should've picked that up using common sense. Good to hear my spawn got to see some use. Actually, I'm going to drop a pair of hellfirespawn burners in a game I'm running tomorrow - right in the middle of a room made of floating stone tiles suspended over a rising lake of lava.
Korone 11-10-06, 01:01 PM	Please post a resume of the fight after the session. The place alone seems nasty.
Dracomortis 11-10-06, 01:12 PM	Will do.
Korone 11-12-06, 01:24 PM	Bump.
Dracomortis 11-12-06, 07:07 PM	Oh, how evil the hellfirespawn buners turned out to be! The first round, they both levitated out from the lava beneath the PCs, exposing them to the smoke and their infernal aura, and fired off hellfire rays. At first, the smoke wasn't that big of a deal; even the wizard passed the save. The wizard decided to use a bit of metagaming and assumed (wrongly) that the spawn had vulnerability to cold, so he polymorphed into a white dragon and used his breath weapon. When he only did 5 points of damage, I think he got the idea they weren'y vulnerable. The ranger and the mind flayer moved into melee, attacking with hand axes and tentacles, respectively. For all their troubles, they got exposed to the smoke and the infernal aura again on the second round. Third round, the PCs decided they'd had enough of the fire damage and chugged some potions of resist fire. The look on the 'flayer's face when he still got damaged by the next hellfire ray was priceless. Wizard decided to try melee with the second spawn, only to get grappled - and taken down into the lava. It went on for probably a good twenty rounds or so before the PCs finally killed the spawn. Every time I mention the words "lava" or "magma", the PCs draw their weapons and slide around it.
Korone 11-12-06, 08:05 PM	Hahaha, sound like your PCs had some difficulty with them. Seems that it was one heck of a fight. So, do you think CR 8 is correct for them?
Korone 11-17-06, 12:00 PM	Bump.
Doom_Linnorm 11-17-06, 01:58 PM	I'll submit some of my Spawn aswell if you do not mind that is... be patient though, I'm still not a very good monster statter. I'm nothing less then terrible of assigning CR to a homebrew. Progress list: Blackspawn Venomgut: 20% Blackspawn Impailer: 15% Blackspawn Darkflayer: 15%
kaizer_soatze 11-17-06, 08:43 PM	Do you need some stats for the true hell fire dragon? here Hellfire Dragon Dragon (Extraplanar, Fire) Environment: The Nine Hells Organization: Wyrmling, very young, young, juvenile, and young adult: solitary or clutch (2-5); adult, mature adult, old, very old, ancient, wyrm, or great wyrm: solitary, pair, or family (1-2 and 2-5 offspring) Challenge Rating: - Treasure: Triple standard Alignment: Always lawful evil Hellfire dragons are the physically weakest of the epic dragons, but they make up for it with being the most magical, gaining a large number of spell-like abilities over time and having innate spellcasting abilities the equal of the prismatic dragons. They focus much of their magical talent into mind affecting enchantments and fire magic (their favored energy form). It is whispered that when Asmodeus was hurled down, a few of his serpent's scales fell to the newly created ground and burrowed into it, germinating quickly in the rich infernal earth. When Asmodeus's Infernal children arose from his fallen blood, the first of the hellfire dragons already awaited them. Through occasional skirmishes, the two groups, Infernal and Draconic, came to a wary truce that has never wavered. When Asmodeus ascended to the Serpent's Throne, he drew most of the hellfire dragons into Nessus as another "surprise" for those daring, powerful, and stupid enough to penetrate so many of Hell's defenses. It is even rumored amongst the devils that not every pit fiend in Nessus is what it seems, for the dragons shapeshift often to disguise their true strength. Despite so many of their kind being in hiding, hellfire dragons are not too rare an encounter. Most of those with lairs in Hell are found in Avernus (though they are far less inclined to piety than other dragon species, they recognize and respect Tiamat's greater power), naturally. Most free hellfire dragons, however, range across the planes, manipulating, maneuvering, and occasionally mutilating any who catch their interest. A hellfire dragon is less materially inclined than other dragons (though they do tend to gather enormous hordes over time anway), and derives far more amusement from ruining other's lives with their subtle ways. Some establish cults, others rule nations, and still others act as tempters, not to gain souls as the Infernals do, but to watch with interest and glee as they pull sentient creatures deeper and deeper into madness and evil. Combat Breath Weapon (Su): A hellfire dragon can breathe a cone of infernal fire. One-half of the damage from this attack is infernal and not subject to elemental protection against fire. Fiendish Form (Su): A hellfire dragon can, at will, produce an effect like that of a shapechange spell, except that only the normal form of any tiefling or devil may be assumed. Infernal Aura (Su): Any creature coming too close to a hellfire dragon automatically takes fire damage, as listed on the age progression table. The radius begins at 5’, and expands as the dragon gets older. Infernal Senses (Ex): Like the devils, a hellfire dragon can see perfectly in any darkness. Summon Baatezu (Sp): Starting at Very young age, and once per day, a hellfire dragon may summon a single barbazu with a 100% chance of success. This ability functions like a summon monster spell of the appropriate level. A summoned devil automatically returns whence it came after one hour. At Young Adult age, the dragon may choose to summon a single gelugon or three barbazu with a 100% chance of success. At Old age, the dragon may choose to summon one cornugon, two gelugons, or 5 barbazu with a 100% chance, or may summon a single adult Hellfire Dragon with a 50% chance of success. At Wyrm age, The dragon may choose to summon two cornugons, four gelugons, or a dozen barbazu with 100% chance of success, or two adult Hellfire Dragons with a 50% chance of success. Lesser Spell-Like Abilities: At will – hold person, sending, suggestion, unhallow, wall of fire, desecrate. Caster Level: 20th; DC 19 + spell level + Dragon’s Cha modifier Minor Spell-Like Abilities: At will – charm person, demand, greater dispelling, pyrotechnics, true seeing. Caster Level: 20th; DC 19 + spell level + dragon’s Cha modifier Major Spell-Like Abilities: At will – improved invisibility, teleport without error, unholy aura. Caster Level: 20th; DC 19 + spell level + dragon’s Cha modifier Greater Spell-Like Abilities: - At will – blasphemy, dictum, fire storm. Caster Level: 20th; DC 19 + spell level + dragon’s Cha modifier Skills: Bluff, Diplomacy, and Knowledge (arcana) are considered class skills for hellfire dragons. Spells: Hellfire Dragons can also cast cleric spells and those from the Destruction, Evil, and Law domains as arcane spells. I hate doing it this way, but this should be decently clear (if anyone would rather have the Excel table of this, PM me).

Korone 11-18-06, 09:18 AM	Doom Linnorn: Sure, do post them when they'll be finished ! Kaizer : ...yes, I already have stats for the hellfire wyrm, why are you asking? Otherwise, I wouldn't had been able to do a spawn for it. And try to modify your post to remove all this big block of text. And you should have waited for an answer before posting it anyway, don't you think?
Dracomortis 11-18-06, 11:30 AM	Yeah, CR 8 is perfect for the burner. And can't wait for the spawn, Doom_Linnorm.
Korone 11-29-06, 04:04 PM	Bump.
Korone 12-05-06, 09:02 PM	Added a picture of the brownspawn mauler. Spawn in progress: Whitespawn howler
d24478667 12-05-06, 09:19 PM	Hmm.. I wonder what a dracolichspawn would be like? But that seems more Falazure then Tiamat, actually...
Korone 12-07-06, 05:14 PM	Yep, plus the fact that the spawns would need to be created in a completely different manner, if possible at all.
JiCi 12-11-06, 08:48 PM	In my campaign, not only the five true chromatics are blessed by Tiamat, but any other evil dragon that worship her. She created more than five breed of dragon, the brown being the sixth.Same here, I got the black, blue, green, red and white, plus the yellow, orange, purple, the brown and the grey (homebrewed) Hmmm... you got potential at creating spawn, I'll give you that. Those are pretty nasty creatures. Redspawn bomber - snip - You should only a bite, 2 claws and a tail attack for this one. It seems overpowered just by the sheer number of attacks per round. However, if you want to improve the "bomber" aspect of the spawn, you should give a breath weapon that,s similar to the fireball spell. Make it deal 10d6 points of fire damage, have it shoot a orb of fire to a line area, and make it burst on the very first creature/object the orb hits in its path. Kaboom !
Korone 12-12-06, 08:50 PM	About the number of attacks, well, I thought about it and I rolled all damage rolls as if they all touched something. And it resulted 65 damages and a second time for... 80 damages. It really seems too much agaisnt a lvl 9 character, according that all attacks did hit. I might remove some attacks from it. And I'm loving that breath weapon idea. You can be sure I'll add it, but do 3 breath weapons seems too much ? Ah.. there can't be too much ! I'll update it in a couple of days. Where can I find the orange, purple and yellow dragons? I tried to make a grey dragon some times ago, but I haven't managed to make something really interesting.. any link about this ? I'm interested to see it.
Sorcen_Anenooata 12-12-06, 10:03 PM	At first I thought you were going for all types of dragons regardless of alignment and worship, sorry for the confusion. Anyway I just got Shining South and saw the Rattelyr dragon, its lawful evil so it could work I'd think.
JiCi 12-13-06, 04:36 PM	About the number of attacks, well, I thought about it and I rolled all damage rolls as if they all touched something.

You can be sure I'll add it, but do 3 breath weapons seems too much ? Ah.. there can't be too much ! I'll update it in a couple of days.That would cause the problem as the number of natural attacks. 1 boosted breath weapon will be enough. Where can I find the orange, purple and yellow dragons? I tried to make a grey dragon some times ago, but I haven't managed to make something really interesting.. any link about this ? I'm interested to see it.1- the orange, purple and yellow are all in the Dragon Compendium Vol. 1 2- here's the link to my Grey Dragon (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=685598)
Korone 12-24-06, 03:17 PM	Redspawn bomber's natural weapon have been changed and I added the breath weapon. Now that thing really look like a living artillery ! I made a correction to its Ac, since I forgot that the gargantuan penalty was -4 and I gave it mighty swing with its gore attack. Aye, the orange, yellow and purple really need a new 'make-over', a wyvern, a snake with legs and a crocodile... ah, right. Whitespawn howler should be coming soon.
Korone 12-24-06, 04:22 PM	This thing was suposed to be some kind of 'support' spawn, being some kind of bard howling at other spawns and giving them bonuses, but it ended being a melee brute enhancing others spawns into melee. And... Cr ? Now I'm clueless. Whitespawn howler Medium Monstrous Humanoid (dragonblood) Hit Dice: 5d8+25 (49 hp) Initiative: +4 Speed: 40ft.

Treasure: None Alignment: Always chaotic evil Advancement: 6-9HD (Medium), 10-16HD (Large) Level Adjustment: - A tall, muscular reptilian humanoid howl at you, its large clawed hand open. Its scales are pure white and its head look like that of a white dragon but with a overly long crest. Whitespawn howlers are in some way the messengers of Tiamat, delivering her hate and rage agaisnt her enemies. Supported through divine power, they can enter a devastating rage, destroying everything in their way, even putting other spawns into its rage. Their presence means very rarely something good since Tiamat use these to channel her rage. Experienced whitespawn howler often follow the barbarian's path, although none can't ignore the frienzed berzerker and those who follow this path ends up as commanders. Whitespawn howlers are 8 feets high and weigth around 650lbs, their body being thick and massive. They talk draconic. Combat "This thing is more stupid than a troll, but its presence alone will scare the hell out of you." Whitespawn howlers tries to hide before engaging enemies, trying to weaken these with its ice shards. It then enter into rage and charge into melee. Ice shard (Ex): Each 1d4 rounds, a whitespawn howler can spit a small poisoned shard of ice at a range of 60ft. It must make a ranged touch attack and if the hit is successed, the target receive 1d4+5 piercing damage and 1d4 cold damage. In addition, it must make a fort save or be weakened by the poison inside the ice (DC 17) or suffer a penalty of -2 on attack roll. Dc is Con based. Snow walking (Ex):A Whitespawn howler can walk normally on snow and ice with no problems, no matters the situation. When on such terrains, they suffer no speed penalty and everything trying to track the creature receive a -8 penalty. Tiamat's rage (Su):Whitespawns howler can enter a very deep and terrifying rage, evoking Tiamat's anger agaisnt metallic dragon. While in this rage, it gain +4Str, +2Dex, +4Con, speed +10ft., regeneration 2 and gain immunity to fear effect. In addition, it gain a cold aura of 5 feets dealing 1d6 cold damage and give it a fear aura of 20ft. radius. Each creatures entering the aura is affected as if it were hit by the Fear spell as cast by a sorcerer of the howler's HD. Even if reduced to -10 or less Hp, the howler isn't dying untill its rage ends. It cannot use intelligence, dexterity or wisdom skills while raging, which last for a numbers of rounds equal to 3 + its newly improved constitution modifier and otherwise work like the barbarian's rage and it stack with any other rage effect. It can enter this rage a number of times per day equal to its HD divided by four. Tiamat's favor (Su):When a whitespawn howler enter Tiamat's rage, every adjacent spawns must make a will save (Dc 18, Cha based) or they enter the rage too as if they had the ability to enter Tiamat's rage. The other spawns can voluntarily fail their will save. Although, every other spawn will gain a different aura, depending on its dragon blood. Redspawn's aura will deal fire damage, bluespawn will deal electricity damage, greenspawn will deal acid damage, etc. In addition every spawn adjacent to the whitespawn howler are immune to cold.
JLaurHughes 12-25-06, 01:14 PM	I like the brownspawn sandtroopers, I think I'll use them in a campaign sometime.
Atolm 12-25-06, 02:27 PM	Wow those are some sweet ideas :D nice job...and happy holidays
Korone 12-28-06, 04:38 PM	Glad that you likes my minis-Tiamat. *Added a pic for the brownspawn sandtroopers. But damn ! I forgot his armor.
Illithid00 12-28-06, 05:19 PM	I'm definitely going to start using some of those in my game. I just need to wait until my players are high enough level so I can smash them with even more draconic might.
Korone 01-18-07, 03:47 PM	There are never enough draconic might ! Er, bump.
JiCi 01-18-07, 03:55 PM	From what I've seen from Fiendish Codex II, hellfire doesn't deal fire, but pure profane damage as it burns hotter than normal fire. The Hellfirespawn Burner's ray should be updated with that rule.
Korone 01-21-07, 11:34 AM	Well, I haven't got to read that book yet so, until then, I'll keep that on hold.
Korone 02-10-07, 12:07 AM	Not really a spawn, but related to Tiamat. A bluespawn is on the way, too. Ages ago, Tiamat created an offshoot of the chromatic dragons, known as the spawn of Tiamat, to serve her infernal plans. Powerful, fearsome, and utterly devoted to her will, they are nevertheless limited in their usefulness, particularly those with limited intelligence. She needed something that could lead her armies into battle, yet were still single-minded enough to serve her unquestionably. To this end, she created the creatures known as Chosen of Tiamat. A Chosen of Tiamat is born when a creature willingly undergoes a special ritual that transforms it into a new, more powerful form, devoting itself forever to Tiamat’s cause. To the casual observer, a Chosen of Tiamat appears to be nothing more than a half-dragon or a creature with draconic heritage. In truth, Chosen of Tiamat are far more powerful, drawing their power directly from their newfound goddess. Often encountered leading vast armies of Tiamat’s spawn, the chosen ones are feared as a living testament to the Queen’s powers. Chosen of Tiamat Creating a Chosen of Tiamat "Chosen of Tiamat" is a template that can be added to any living, corporeal non-dragon creature of non-good alignment. A Chosen of Tiamat uses all the base creature’s statistics and special abilities except as noted here. Size and Type The creature's type changes to dragon. All racials HD changes to dragon HD. Creature's size increase by one category but cannot exceed Colossal. Speed Increase base walk speed by 150%. A Chosen of Tiamat has large scally wings. Unless the base creature has a better fly speed, the creature can fly at twice the creature’s new base land speed (average maneuverability). Armor Class Chosen of Tiamats skin become very hard scales. Natural armor improves by +4. Attack A Chosen of Tiamat grow long rasorsharp talons and teeths, gaining two claws attacks and a bite attack. The bite is the primary natural weapon. Damage Chosen of Tiamat have bite and claw attacks. If the base creature does not have these attack forms, use the damage values in the table. If the base creature already have these kinds of attacks, use the greater one. Table Size Bite Claws Tiny 1d4 1d3 Small 1d6 1d4 Medium 1d8 1d6 Large 2d6 1d8 Huge 2d8 2d6 Gargantuan 4d6 2d8 Colossal 4d8 4d6 Special Attacks A Chosen of Tiamat retains all the special attacks of the base creature and gains the following special attack. Smite Dragon (Su): Once per day the creature can make a normal melee attack to deal extra damage equal to its HD (maximum of +20) against a dragon foe. Breath Weapon (Su): Once every 1d4 rounds, it can use a breath weapon depending on its variety. A Chosen of Tiamat associated with red dragon have a cone shaped breath dealing fire damage, one associated with black dragon have a line shaped breath dealing acid damage, etc. The breath deals 1d8 points of damage per two HD of the creature with a reflex save for half. Table Size Line (Length) Cone (Length) Tiny 30 ft. 15 ft. Small 40 ft. 20 ft. Medium 60 ft. 30 ft. Large 80 ft. 40 ft. Huge 100 ft. 50 ft. Gargantuan 120 ft. 60 ft. Colossal 140 ft. 70 ft. Spells (Su): A Chosen of Tiamat gain natural spellcasting as a sorcerer of its HD divided by two. Special Qualities A Chosen of Tiamat has all the special qualities of the base creature, plus the following special qualities. -Darkvision out to 60 feet. -Low-light vision -Immunity to sleep and paralysis -Immunity to one of the following energy: Fire, cold, electricity or acid and gain resist 10 for the three others. -Gain a +4 racial bonus on saves agaisnt poison. -Damage reduction 5/magic if 6HD or less; Damage Reduction 10/magic if 7HD or more. -A Chosen of Tiamat natural weapons are treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. -Spell Resistance of 8+HD -Blindsense 30 feet. -Dragon empathy: +2 to all bluff, diplomacy, intimidate and sense motive checks when communicating with dragons. -A Chosen of Tiamat count as Spawn of Tiamat in order to receive bonus from the Tiamat's Blessing ability of Spawn of Tiamat. Abilities Increase from the base creature as follows: Str +12, Dex +2, Con +8, Int +2, Wis +2, Cha +4. These bonus takes into account the abilities modification for the size increase. Challenge rating As base creature +4 LA: +5
JiCi 02-10-07, 08:34 AM	Woaw, nice template you got there Korone. Yet I have lots of things to say; - "LA: +5/+6" should be enough, considering that it has lots of abilites that advance according to HD. - DR should be progressive, as nothing, than 5/magic and then 10/magic - SR should be 5 +HD, 13 +HD is a tad too high. - Would Chosen of Tiamat be a better name ? We have seen a chosen of Mystra, a chosen of Bane and a chosen of Malar. Furthermore, dratgonborn are also known as chosen of Bahamut. - Can you apply this template to a creature with the dragonblood subtype ? - Too bad you cannot apply it to a chromatic half-dragon, although the Human Heritage feat from Races of Destiny can allow you to take this template, as you become a Humanoid (human). Aside from that, it's all good.
Dracomortis 02-10-07, 11:35 AM	I'd suggest bumping the CR increase as well. This template is significantly better than the half-dragon template. +5 would probably be more accurate. EDIT: Reworked flavor text. Ages ago, Tiamat created an offshoot of the chromatic dragons, known as the spawn of Tiamat, to serve her infernal plans. Powerful, fearsome, and utterly devoted to her will, they are nevertheless limited in their usefulness, particularly those with limited intelligence. She needed something that could lead her armies into battle, yet were still single-minded enough to serve her unquestionably. To this end, she created the creatures known as Tiamat’s blessed. A Tiamat’s blessed is born when a creature willingly undergoes a special ritual that transforms it into a new, more powerful form, devoting itself forever to Tiamat’s cause. To the casual observer, a Tiamat’s blessed appears to be nothing more than a half-dragon or a creature with draconic heritage. In truth, Tiamat’s blessed are far more powerful, drawing their power directly from their newfound goddess. Often encountered leading vast armies of Tiamat’s spawn, the blessed are feared as a living testament to the Queen’s powers.
Korone 02-11-07, 08:10 PM	Thanks both of you. I just realised that I managed to forget the table about the breath and the natural attacks, icks. I'll post these soon. JiCi; Changed the Dr and took Chosen of Tiamat as the template's name, which is by far better. Not sure where I got such an high Sr... 8+HD seems better, 5+HD seems, too low. Not sure why. Though, no, you can't add this template to a creature with the dragonblood substype since it already have a dragon part. Mechanically, yes, the Human heritage feat would let you give this template to a chromatic half-dragon. I'll surely create a similar template but for dragons/dragon blooded creatures only. Dracomortis; +5 to Cr seems a bit high as the Half-dragon gives a +2 increases. +4 seems OK to me, although you're free to explain your reasoning on this, I lack the ability to judge Cr correctly. The flavor looks much better that way !
Dracomortis 02-12-07, 05:37 PM	Ah, I tried to remember the half-dragon template off the top of my head, but mistook the LA for the CR increase. +4 works just fine.
JiCi 02-13-07, 08:20 AM	Mechanically, yes, the Human heritage feat would let you give this template to a chromatic half-dragon. I'll surely create a similar template but for dragons/dragon blooded creatures only.Come to think of it, you could apply the half-dragon AFTER applying your template... as long as the dragon specie matches. Another thing: since the base creature increases in size, must I advance the base creature's ability scores before applying the template's modifiers ? If so... then we have a prolem. For example, a human chosen of Tiamat will receive these modifiers in the end: Str +18 (+8 size, +10 template), Dex +0 (-2 size, +2 template), Con +12 (+4 size, +8 template), Int +2, Wis +2, Cha +4. I thought at first that increasing the size would be a nice feature, but now I think it's a bit much. You can easily remove the size increase, as well as lowering both the CR and LA by 1, since you don't get more hard-hitting weapons and a 10-foot reach, not to mention advanced ability scores. Aside from that, it's all good. There's not much to change now. May I ask you to let use it in my game ?
Korone 02-13-07, 04:42 PM	No, the size increase doesn't give the ability bonus, I forgot to mention that. Otherwise, the bonus would be really too much. Although I might raise strength a bit since it is basically only giving a bonus of +2. But sure, feel free to use it. À la simple 'condition' que tu poste un résumé de comment les choses vont se passer.
JiCi 02-13-07, 05:25 PM	Thought so, thanks for the input. About the playtest: "Mes joueurs sont encore de bas niveau, donc je vais attendre avant de leur envoyer une telle créature."
Korone 02-13-07, 07:16 PM	Aucun problème. Here's a Bluespawn mean to protect. Although I could use some ideas so it can have some more abilities related to protection and such. I'm thinking of giving it a rend ability with its bites attack, thought ? Cr ? Bluespawn Guard Gargantuan Monstruous Humanoid (dragonblood) Hit Dice: 16d8+184 (256 hp) Initiative: +4 Speed: 60ft.

As you enter the vast chamber, you see a very tall statue, with evident draconic traits. Its body is massive with a broad tail. Its impresive bulk sprout four small arms. Two heads stand fiercely on its torso, each being different with a common traits; a large horn on the front of their head. As you go closer to it, its scales seems to become alive, the color changing from an old grey to a deep, dark blue. The heads then moves in your direction, roaring at your presence. Bluespawn Guard have been created by Tiamat to guard important items or creatures, having the ability to morph into stone, ignoring time while still able to hear and see. They stand up to 50 feets high and weight around 50,000lbs. They speak draconic and infernal, in addition, if guarding a creature, it can speak an additional language that the creature know. Combat "Watch out, for they guard Tiamat's most precious possession." Bluespawn guard stand still until they feel something coming near them. Hiding in walls, it tries to attack by surprise with its breath weapon, stunning and shocking its opponents. At all times it stay between the intruders and its protection, to which it'll die for. Trample(Ex): Reflex DC 31. The save Dc is strength based. Breath Weapon(Su): The Bluespawn Guard have two breath weapons.

The ball travel the distance until it hit something or its max range, where it explode. The explosion deal 7d8 electricity plus 2d6 sonic damage in a 15 feets radius and every creature within the radius must make a successful save or be stunned. The breath goes through stone as if it were air and have 25% chance to ignore any other kind of material, if the bluespawn guard want it so. Each head can breath once every 1d4 round. DC 30, Con based. Frightful Presence(Ex): This ability takes effect automatically whenever the Bluespawn Guard attacks or charges. Creatures within a radius of 80 feets are subject to the effect. An affected creature that succeeds on a Will save (DC 19) remains immune to the frightful presence for 24 hours. On a failure, creatures with 4 or less HD become panicked for 4d6 rounds and those with 5 or more HD become shaken for 4d6 rounds. Dire Critical(Ex): The Bluespawn Guard’s bite threatens a critical hit on a natural attack roll of 18-20, dealing triple damage on a successful critical hit. In addition, it receive a +4 bonus to confirm critical hits. When a critical hit is confirmed, the creature receive an additional 4d6 of electricity damage. Stone Shape(Su): At will, the Bluespawn Guard can change its body into a statue of stone. While in this form, it doesnt need to breath, sleep or eat and all its senses are still active, although it is unable to move.

Treasure: Common, Double coins and one +1 Flaming Whip Alignment: Always Chaotic Evil Advancement: By character class Level Adjustment: +7 At first sight, this tall creature seems to be some kind of draconic creature coming directly from the plane of chaos itself, things near this creature you hear and see seems to be distortioned. It ressemble alot a red dragon, long spiked horns on its head, somehow too long. Its hands are merged in flames, long rasorsharp claw coming out of the fire. A frills of flames stand above its head and continu all the way to half its back. Redspawn Zealots are some of the highly charismatics leaders giving life to bring doom and fear to the high queen's enemies. Although it is a highly chaotic creature, the Redspawn Zealot is the perfect leader for front line troops, bringing as much destruction as the troops themselves. It is also feared a lot by lawful opponent, where this creature is a real beast. The Redspawn Zealot live for war and dedicate his death to the queen. The bigger his troops, the more arrogant and dangerous a Redspawn Zealot is agaisnt everything that live. A Redspawn Zealot is normally 7 feets tall and weight around 250 lb. It speak draconic and infernal in addition to any enemy's language it is fighting. Combat "It will burn and destroy everything it its path and it will crush violently and eradicate every form of law other than Tiamat's law, as it will do so with your mind if you ever have the bad luck to talk to one. If you ever face one in battle, even if you have numerous Godslayer charging at you or whatever, you have to kill this thing before anything else." Redspawn Zealot never fight alone, yet encountered alone. It usually stay behind while the stronger allies immobilise the enemies, where it can attack at distance, using its abyssal song or magical abilities to support its troops. It tries to always have the Displacement and Entropic Shield active on itself. Breath Weapon(Su): Each 1d4 rounds, the Redspawn Zealot can breath a 60ft. long line of fire dealing 4d10 fire damage. While using this breath weapon, the Redspawn Zealot can emit a powerful and disturbing scream, shacking violently everything 10ft. around him as well as the line of fire. Creatures and objects caugth in this area and the breath receive 2d6 sonic damage and must make a fortitude save or be deafened for 2d4 rounds as well as a -1 morale penalty to saving throw and attack roll.

The aura is active on a 50ft. radius around the Zealot. Aura of courage(Su) The Redspawn Zealot represent the powerful strength of the spawn gifted by Tiamat, as such, an intence energy emerge from it.

Sorcen_Anenooata 04-16-07, 07:04 PM	The Axiomatic and Axiomatic Aura abilities of your Redspawn Zealot should be lawful and not chaotic. And the Abyssal Song should probably be changed to Song of Hell or something to that effect to keep the confusion from devils and demons, Lawful Evil and Chaotic Evil respectively.
Korone 04-16-07, 07:10 PM	Oups. Thanks for the clarification. Seems that I got confused a bit. But I don't see the point for changing Abyssal song since the Zealot is nothing but chaotic and evil. It doesn't have a lot to do with a lawful plane even if its goddess live there. Unless I missed something in your point.
Sorcen_Anenooata 04-16-07, 07:23 PM	Oh sorry I think of the spawns as having to be lawful evil since Tiamat lives in Baator. At least I accidentally got a proper suggestion in. ;)
Lord_Bahamut 04-17-07, 07:29 PM	Holy crap! This thread is awsome! I'm totally using these in a homebrew campaign! Awesome, Korone. Just awesome. :thumbsup: :clap: Do I have your permission to steal it all to use?
Korone 04-17-07, 10:13 PM	Sure, it's all there for that ! Glad that you like my spawns.
Lord_Bahamut 05-14-07, 10:50 PM	Hi Korone, I'm back. I was wondering if there are any other Spawn on the list to come out, as it's been almost a month since you last posted anything. I was thinking of posting some of my own spawn, if that's ok with you.
Korone 05-15-07, 11:42 AM	Yeah, current have one on the work, but I haven't touched it for a couple of weeks. Should get back to it soon. But sure, go ahead, post all of your spawn. This thread is not only for 'my' spawns, but for all spawns of Tiamat. The family need to get bigger !
Korone 08-05-07, 10:53 PM	Bump.
Korone 11-16-07, 07:02 PM	A bump from the past. JiCi; As-tu eu la chance de lancer un choisi de Tiamat contre tes joueurs ? Lord_Bahamut; Where's your spawns of Tiamat ? Any chance of seeing them?
WebJiCi 11-16-07, 09:08 PM	A bump from the past. JiCi; As-tu eu la chance de lancer un choisi de Tiamat contre tes joueurs ?Désolé, mais mes études m'ont tenu et me tiennent toujours à l'écart de mes joueurs.
