Well since I fell a little behind and others (Khisanth and Ferret)have posted brilliant templates themselves I've changed the title of the thread in the hopes of making it seem less exclusive. The fact still stands that people love templates and we all enjoy applying them so if there's a mini...

1.) 1 DM and 4 players on a good day 2.) On occassion but not to much at the moment, I have something planned though :) 3.) 2 of the others Dm for the most part. 4.)All male 5.)Yes it's called the gameskeeper and it's really quite good, they're friendly and will order in things that they...

Here's my take on them from down in the creature catalog forums: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?threadid=55905 Just to add to teh options :)

I don't know really, I just thought it sounded meaningful whilst open to interpretation. I suppose the original inspiration (now I think about it) must have been the Arken Stone in the hobbit though I must have just recalled the world and thought it sounded cool :p Can't wait to see the...

Hmm, Suggestions... A Dire Cheetah would be nice. Also there's a bit of a lack of sea creatures. I'm sure some of these have been done but a dire Baracuda or a dire Octopus (that rings a bell so i think it might be around already) would be nice. Oh and a Dire Kangaroo :D:D

It sounds like a final fantasy game clone and not the best one ever at that. I should know I submitted one too :p Seriously though I'll wait for reviews first, I find it very hard to imagine tht after all that fuss it would be poor, and in fairness the writer must be good. (one would hope)

the Chinese one? In no particular order Rat, Monkey, Pig, Ox, Dragon, Snake, Tiger, Rooster, Dog, Rabbit/Hare, sheep, Horse Admitedly that leads to quite a few repeats of creatures that are already guardinals or creatures that seem lesser to the surrent guardinals but i would just do these as...

I like them :) Can I just ask which monster creating guide you might mean as if it's one I don't know it would be incredibley useful :D Do you mean the one that was lifted from dragon magazine?

Anyone got a link to 'Lady Despina's Virtue'? The Wyre series by Sepulchrave is what I would particularly recommend. (You've probably read it already though :D)

First off an apology for not posting anything for a week I was on holiday without internet:eek: :D Ashardalon: Thanks you for informing me, I'm yet to get the 3.5 books so unfortunately the existing templates are (apparently) a little wrong. Thanks for pointing this out :), i'll look into it as...

Completely politely and jovially I'd like to state for the record that I knew Pandas weren't bears (or koalas about which I too don't care:D) which is why your raccoon suggestion sparked me off on thinking of them. My suggestion of an Ailural being an improved ursinal was wholly based on...

Ailuropoda melanoleuca. I don't know if that would convert well into a guardinal name though. Ailurinal?

Which reminds me of an animal from the same faimly : The Giant Panda. That's certainly a regal creature, you could do an improved ursinal.

Hmmm, How about Zodiac or Constelation creatures then? Taurus is cool. You could make a bull. Or a Swan would be nice too, they are generally considered regal. A Unicorn? Too mythical? A condor perhaps? Or an Albatross? A Kamodo Dragon maybe (a bit too much of an unpleasant creature perhaps) An...

Since the original guardinals go all the way up to lions finding a superior animal might be a bit difficult (unless you do a whale I guess :D). What I would do is re-label all the existing ones 'lesser guardinals' and then make some epic 'guardinal lords' or 'greater guardinals'. Then you can...

Thanks, Yes I know about the ELH version but it's so very very wrong and unbalanced :D For example it can summon 200HD of vermin a day and has unnecessarily unflavourful spell resistence. Also I didn't like the way engulf worked. Also I wanted to adapt it so that it could be applied to things...

Serious apologies that this is now a triple post Oh well not much response :(. Never mind, I'm sure if I jsut plow on someone will post something eventually :D here are the other templates I promised: Clockwork Creature (Template) Clockwork creature is an 'inherited' template that can be...

Since everyone likes templates and they seem a little easier to me than actual full blown creatures when it comes to formulating them I thought that as I have a lot of free time at the moment I would turn my hand to creating a few in this thread which people can use as they wish :) Comments are...

I love swarms! Great idea :D
