Axiomatic, Anarchic creatures.

[iwatt]

Is there any anarchic or axiomatic templates for creatures. Similar to the whole Fiendish/Celestial divide.

Thanx

Yes. They appear in ... Crap. I don't remember. PLanar Handbook, maybe?

 

[capnfro]

Yeah... What Patryn said. They are both in the Planar Handbook.

 

[Patryn of Elvenshae]

Yes! A 20 on the Autohypnosis check! I rock!

Manual of the Planes as well, updated to 3.5e in the update booklet.

Thanx....

From the booklet:

Axiomatic: Gain fire, electricity, cold, and sonic resistance 5.
Gain fire, electricity, cold, and sonic resistance 10 if 12 Hit Dice or
more. They have a level adjustment of +4.

Anarchic: Gain damage reduction 5/magic if 12 Hit Dice or
more. They have a level adjustment of +5.

So pretty hefty LAs. Any reason why Anarchic has a higher LA than Axiomatic? I don't have MotP with me, so any clues as to what these templates give?

Alternative is something like the axiomatic creature spell from BoED. No LA, but dispellable.

Axiomatic gives: Smite Chaos (1/day, +HD to damage vs. chaotic opponent), darkvision, SR = 2*HD, and linked mind (like formians)
Anarchic gives: Smite Law, Darkvision, Immunity to polymorph and petrification, and fast healing.

Thanx guys. I checked out the Planar handbook and it had the revised templates. LA +5 for Anarchic seems too much though, even for fast healing and damage reduction and some resistances. The immunities are nice though. Axiomatic alsoe seems too much at LA+4.

I developed some "house rules" for these, so they match the fiendish and celestial templates. It's pretty straightforward.

Level adjustment of +2 seems plenty.....although (IMHO) that SR should be pegged to CR, not HD. SR =CR +5, IMNSHO.
