3.5 Half-Cambion Template?

[elijah snow]

Is there such a thing and can someone direct me to its source?

Thanks.

By the time it's 'half-Cambion' isn't it basically a Tiefling?

Mind you, if you're going from the Aasimar & Tiefling book from Green Ronin for the Cambion (LA +4) I suppose you might want something LA +2 -ish?

Around how powerful would you want it, and what kind of things would it absolutely need?

Well, the simple answer is the Half-fiend template in the MM. There's a Cambion in Expedition to the Demonweb Pits, but not as a template (it does have stats for using them as characters, however).
There's also a Cambion in the Tome of Horrors (Necromancer Games), but again, not as a template.

They're after a half-Cambion template, apparently.

I agree with Aus Snow - a Cambion is already a half-fiend, so once you get to a half-Cambion you're talking about a Tiefling.

Ah, missed that, thanks.

In that case, I'd maybe suggest demon bloodline from UA, Fiendish Heritage feats from CM or Abyssal Heritor feats from FC1.

Okay, you've all given me plenty of material to work with; I'll go with the Tiefling, I suppose, as the half-cambion, but check out the others as well.

A follow-up question- is Green Ronin's Aasimar & Tiefling worth getting? Is it 3.0 or 3.5?

 

[Aus_Snow]

Ah, bloodlines. Good call. Except for the fact that (I think) they're rather underpowered. Haven't actually used them, but yeah. . . they look that way. Even if so, it wouldn't be too hard to beef them up.

A follow-up question- is Green Ronin's Aasimar & Tiefling worth getting? Is it 3.0 or 3.5?

Definitely.

However, I'm a bit of a Green Ronin fanboi, so I'd suggest reading some reviews.

Oh, and 3.5 IIRC.

There is something wonderful about Green Ronin's books. No reason not to add one more the collection.

Not to mention that it's broken as written. The author even posted an apology that it got through editing like that.

There's also a Cambion in the Tome of Horrors (Necromancer Games), but again, not as a template.

Like others, I'd suggest a tiefling. But if you want to create something that for some reason has a little thicker demon blood than a tiefling, perhaps you can take the ToH cambion and pull out the amalgam template from Advanced Bestiary (also reprinted in Monte Cook's Year's Best D20 collection) to make a half-cambion.

I should note that both Advanced Bestiary and Aasimar & Tieflings are on sale through paizo or your FLGS right now!
