[?] Coffer corpse

[Red Baron]

I feel certain I've seen an official 3.x WotC version of this good old 1st ed. Fiend Folio beastie, but I can't seem to find it ATM. Can anybody tell me which of my books I'll find it in? (Or maybe I'm just imagining that I've seen it...?)

I know there's a version in Tome of Horrors, but this is more a matter of principle, now...

I thought Tome was the only one that had it myself...

Damn you Red Baron! Now I am obsessed with this too. I DO think I remember seeing this some where. Perhaps it was an example of a template creature..?

edit: Yeah, I was probably thinking of the Corpse Creature template from BoVD...

The Tome of Horrors is a great book. Whats the matter of principle?

No, the coffer corpse is not in any 3rd edition product, UNLESS it was in Dungeon Magazine (which I do not get).

Edit - there is one in the EN World creature catalog - maybe you saw it there and thought it was "official"??? Just guessing.

As already said, the Coffer Corpse appears in the Tome of Horrors from Necromancer Games.

Hm... Yes, maybe that's it. (I might also have confused having seen the "eye of fear and flame" (another of my old faves) in that same book, I suppose.

Anyway, thanks everybody for the input!

Oh, don't get me wrong, ToH is a great book. The "principle" (perhaps I used the wrong idiom) is simply that I can't bear to let my sieve-like memory get the best of me...

Right. I should have said WotC 3rd ed. product. I know it's in the Tome.

Ah, I knew it would be something simple.

which, of course, would have been the prototype for the ToH version.
