This template can be added to any humanoid creature of at least Large size, how's original alignment is not good.

HD: A creature with ETT, gets maximun Hit Points per Hit Die.

Speed: Same as base creature.

AC: The creatures Natural Armor is improved by a +15.

Attacks: Evil Touch creatures retain all their their natural attacks.

Damage: Creatures with the Evil Touch Template, with natural attacks are consider to have the feat Improved Natural Attack for each of their natural attacks.

Special Attacks: Same as base creature.

Special Qualities: A creature with the Evil Touch Template gains the following special abilities:

Darkvison 60 ft.

Immunity to Poison, Sleep.

Fire and Ice resistance of 20.

Light Sensitivity: When an Evil Touch Creature, comes into contact with sun light, (or the spell Daylight), it's natural armor becomes 0, it takes a penalty of minus 2 penalty to all attack rolls, and takes 5 damage per round of light contact.

Saves: Same as base creature.

Abilities: +10Str, -2Dex, +4Con, - 4Wis.

Skills: The base creature takes a penalty to Move Silently of - 5 as circumstance bonus, (the new Natural Armor of the creature is cumbersome and noise).

Feats: It gains 2 extra feats.

Climate/Terrain: Any Underground.

CR: ?????, LA: ?????

Treasure: Standard, Double Coins, Double Gems.

Alignment: Any Evil.

So my question is how much should the LA and specially CR should be, I am considering Epic gaming so any number would suit the Template. Well, keep the suggestions comming.

12-16-03, 05:20 PM AC: What kind of bonus is the armor class boost? Profane? Natural?
Light Sensitivity: Reword and clarify a little. Does "natural light" mean natural sunlight, or can it by light from the stars and moon as well? Does light shed by a torch count as natural light? Reword the -2 penalty as saying it gets a -2 penalty to attack rolls, change "looses 5hp" to "takes 5 damage".
Abilities: Will is a saving throw, not an ability
Skills: What kind of penalty? Profane? Circumstantial?

12-16-03, 07:38 PM Thanks for correcting my mistakes I wrote the Template in a hurry, I still need opinions on the LA and CR, I was thinking LA +5 and CR +3 as minimuns. What ya think.

12-16-03, 07:41 PM I would say CR change of maybe +2, considering that the light weakness is so easily exploited (0-level spell triggers it).
