Quick into into game: X-com meets D&D.

Party is team sent on a mission to deal with unknown oposing forces that has unknown agenda and are operating on global scale.

To not devolve game into combat/intermission tempo, significant amount of missions are not out right combat oriented, but rather reactions to rumors of activity.

Setting is rather loosely interpreted New Forgotten Realms. Unknown to populace, The year of blue flame was the year of extraplanar invasion that was foiled by Mad God. Spellplague was merely glimpse of the fate that was to befall Faerun. Now 100 years later the second invasion has begun.

Invaders by not having full accses to Faerun deployed some semisubstantial extraplanar entitys that start to wage skirmish war againts all they can reach. Every dwelling of sentient life (or unlife for that matter) can be target of raid that tryes to take all people and all magic items/objects and dissapear them into unkown .

Most oponents party fases are typical MM monsters that have some fluff added (they are all bodysnached versions, meaning blue flames on most special attacks, yet unkown language, power and objects, disparity between monster lore and actual behavior). I plan to use Angels and Archorns to represent actual invaders.

What I want form this thread if some people could help me to come up with some balanced monster templates (like in DMG page 176) that I could add on Body snached monsters to make "leutenants" of em.

Angelzation, Archonization, Psychic (of variuos level) templates would be nice.
