A friend said they saw an updated Hound Archon with +8LA and a bunch of cool abilities on one of the forums. Have you seen it and where might i find it?

If you are looking into a hound archon for a race to play, both Planar Hanbook & Savage Species that the hound archon monster class. Just F.Y.I.

Well, I could just play the Hound Archon in MM if I can't find this one. It just seemed really nice since it had +8 STR, damage reduction 20/evil and cold iron and ???, fast healing 10, teleport, tongues, and who knows what else. i want to see what else it had

Hound Archon is a horrible character, at 11th level you have 6 hit dice.

I can only imagine what giving him more special abilities would do.

Because having high damage reduction at 15th level with 5 hit dice will result in a fast death.

First off, the hound archon has 6 outsider HD and a LA of +5, for a total ECL of 11. It gets +4 str.

The trumpet archon has a LA of +8, for a final ECL of 20 when you factor in its 12 outsider HD.

The stats you have posted do not seem consistent with any archon I am aware of....:confused:

It was updated, by WotC i think, and was on a forum. my DM also doesn't require racial HD for some reason.

...You ignore Racial HD? Are you serious? Forget Hound Archon, go for Anthropomorphic Baleen Whale!
