Just make use the Old-School Template.Making an Old-School CreatureOld-School is an acquired template that can be applied to all creatures, NPC, and even traps.Size and Type: No changes are made to the base creature's size and type unless the DM says otherwise.Hit Dice: No changes are made to the base creature's hit dice unless the DM says otherwise.Initiative: No changes are made to the base creature's initiative unless the DM says otherwise.Speed: No changes are made to the base creature's speed unless the DM says otherwise. Entirely new and unexpected modes of movement may be added at the DM's whim.Armor Class: No changes are made to the base creature's AC unless the DM says otherwise.Attack/Full Attack: No changes are made to the base creature's attack bonuses or damage dice unless the DM says otherwise.Space/Reach: No changes are made to the base creature's space or reach unless the DM says otherwise.Special Attacks: No changes are made to the base creature's special attacks unless the DM says otherwise.

Spells, spell-like abilties and supernatural abilities of the old-school creature may be made uncounterable, undispellable, and/or disallow saving throws at the DM's discretion.Special Qualities: No changes are made to the base creature's special qualities unless the DM says otherwise. Special qualities may be added, changed or removed at the DM's whim.Saves: As the base creature or as modified by the DM.Abilities: As the base creature or as modified by the DM.Skills: As the base creature or as modified by the DM.
