Hey guys, I am creating a campaign where the elemental planes have slightly merged with the material plane. Looking for elemental monsters such as the Dao. Any where I can go to get the stats for these monsters without buying every manual and book out there??

The best way would be to find an elemental theme template you like and apply it to various creatures. A few suggestions:

Element Creature, Manual of the planes
Half-elemental, Manual of the planes
Element-infused template, Advanced Bestiary by Green Ronin.
Elemental template, Book of templates by Silverthorne games

I have the Book of Templates, but my copy is by Goodman Games.

@ OP: Check out Elemental Lore by Fantasy Flight Games. A monster book of elemental critters. It's slim (64 pages), but cheap, and it's got some creative creatures.

dawnbringer, what is the book of templates?? I actually don't have it but might like it. back to the post though, sounds like there really isn't any options. When I was in college, 4 short years ago, I could find every book in a pdf format for free. I actually didn't like using them because I can't concentrate unless it is printed (I know, it's weird). But now I wish I had them for reference

I think they are all the same. It is such a useful book.
