[QUOTE="Eloi, post: 2659293, member: 27826"] [b]The Anarchic template, as per the Planar Handbook, pg. 108-109.[/b] Ok, here we go, trimming a little: "Anarchic" is an inherited template that can be added to any ... of non-Lawful alignment. An anarchic creature uses all the base creature's statistics and abilities, except as noted here. Do not recalculate the creature's HD, BAB, saves, or skill points if its type changes. [B]Size and Type:[/B] Animals or vermin with this template become magical beasts, but otherwise the creature type is unchanged. Size is unchanged. Anarchic creatures encountered on the Material Plane have the extraplanar subtype. [B]Special Attacks:[/B] An anarchic creature retains all the special attacks of the base creature and also gains the following attack: Smite Law (Su) - once a day, an anarchic creature can make a normal attack to do extra damage equal to its HD (maximum 20 points) against a lawful opponent. [B]Special Qualities:[/B] An anarchic creature retains all the special qualities of the base creature and also gains the following special qualities [If the base creature already has one or more of these special qualities, use the better value.] : - Darkvision out to 60 feet - Damage reduction as table (1-3 HD, nothing; 4-7 HD, 1 Fast Healing; 8-11 HD, 3 Fast Healing; 12+ HD, 5 Fast Healing, Damage Reduction 5/magic) ** note that this leaves the Morrusant at 7 HD unchanged, as his 2 Regeneration is superior to 1 Fast Healing. ** - Resistance to acid 5, cold 5, electricity 5, fire 5, and sonic 5 - Immunity to polymorph and petrification - Fast Healing as table ** unchanged at 7 HD ** - If an anarchic creature gains damage reduction, its natural weapons are counted as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. [B]Abilities:[/B] Same as the base creature, but Intelligence is at least 3. [B]Environment:[/B] Any land and underground. Challenge Rating: Up to 3 HD, same as base creature; 4-7 HD, same as base creature +1; 8 or more HD, same as base creature +2. ** Bumps our 7 HD Scout up to CR 7,would do nothing to our little CR 2 rank and file, bumps the Queen up to CR 19. She's probably worth it, too. ** [B]Alignment:[/B] Always chaotic (any). [B]Level Adjustment:[/B] +5 This gives us a little "punch" to Morrusant attacks on those Lawful hardcases, the Formians. The template doesn't add a huge amount, but the wording of the template sounded just like what we have - an augmented Vermin. Seeing as how two of the big guns, the Darkvision and the Fast Healing, are already duplicated or bettered by the Morrusant before looking at the Anarchic template, this template would really just add color. Which brings us back around to "Simple is good", so this template is nonessential. But you did ask. :) [/QUOTE]
