I made the edits. How should we cap going past Huge? Or should we?

If nothing else, mine are Open Game Content. :D

1) How about if the lifespan formula is altered to make low level casters create creatures that last only a couple days, or even hours? Example: (level + INT mod)^5 /5 - 3600 = hrs. lifespan level + INT mod = 7 => 1.4 hours Tiny beast level + INT mod = 17 => 32 years Huge beast 2) And up...

Hybridize Beast Transmutation (Enchantment) Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M, F Casting Time: 10 rounds Range: Touch Target: Components inside Focus Duration: Permanent (1/2 day per level) Saving Throw: See text Spell Resistance: See text A Sorcerer with a caster level + INT modifier less...

Another question: When writing out skill point plusses for monster descriptionss, do the figures include the corresponding ability modifiers, or just the distribution of skill points given for INT, racial bonuses and HD level?

That's without a doubt, an eerie aberration, and I like the original concept. Three things: a. Needs a wider diameter if it's going to be Huge, or does Reach count toward Hugeness? b. Why a Will save against physically-induced seizures? c. Those two things don't affect the short version of...

Despite what the PHB says, hyenas are not like wolves. They are stronger-jawed and slower, and don't come in such a wide range of sizes. They're also found in warmer climates. Comments? Hyena Medium-Size Animal Hit Dice: 2d8+4 (13 hp) Initiative: +1 (Dex) Speed: 40 ft. AC: 14 (+1 Dex, +3...

Thanks. That'll do for now. It's actually kind of a simple beast, so I think everything else is kosher. It's ferocious and prehistoric, so I made it a beast and not an animal. I'm going to say it's the bottom end of huge and leave it at that.

Yes. About the entelodont I submitted: Is something between the size of a Clydesdale horse and an Asian elephant considered Large or Huge?

What was it you didn't like about Mars the black dragon dwarf with 10,000 STR? Was it his worrying or his viscosity?

The spell The spell should have lifespan, constitution and fertility penalties at beginning levels (for the resulting creature, not the spellcaster) which diminish as the spellcaster increases levels. IOW, only high level spellcasters could create strong hybrids that can reproduce on their own...

Using mundane creatures as avatars I would think a good template would 1) Play up on the god's specialties. Provide some spells in the god's major domain as supernatural abilities. 2) Play up on the base creature's specialties. Enhance the base creature's natural abilities using a multiplier...

Building gods doesn't seem to be as hard as making them unique. The Celestial and Fiend templates are good guidelines, as well as the presentation template that BOZ posted.

Short version: This creature lies dormant as a trap, and steals attributes from an unsuspecting adventurer to temporarily increase its capabilities, rebuilding itself as a hideous mockery of its victim. Eventually, it collapses back into the dormant trap form. Long version: This alien...

Avatar Templates I think half a dozen templates should be enough to make it seem that avatars aren't all clones. Squeezing a set of basic gods through about 6 templates should yield more results than any one DM could use, especially if the stat conversion is done with widely varying formulas...

I'd like to see the kobolds' Kurtulmak after you convert the goblin god. I haven't found any official 3e conversion yet, though there could be one out there. (Trivia: "ucuz kurtulmak" is a Turkish phrase for "escape" or "get off without price or penalty", or more cynically, "weasel out" ) I...

Not all D&D classes are magical, so magic can't be the justification for it, either. You seem to think I'm saying it's all ridiculous. That's not it. I like a good ridiculous game, and don't demand realism from my entertainment. What I'm saying is, however you want to explain the way damage...

If vermorte wins, maybe there can be a round of fine tuning where we vote on the variation that is the catchiest.

I want to repeat the idea that a variety of templates should be used in creating deities, so that we have some interesting differences, even if a set of deities was all based on the same creature. For example, a whole pantheon of kobold gods would be redundant and boring if all generated by the...

Ah. Well it will be interesting to see what the official raccoon looks like in comparison. I've noticed that when an animal is presented out of context with other animals, it is often also generated out of context, too. Usually too powerful. At least I moved your thread to the top. ;-)
