Converting monsters from Dragon magazine

But aren't there some that are single-class clerics? The all martial weapons makes that difficult. I'd rather just go with strict BAB and/or Will save requirements. What about +6 Will save or +6 BAB or something?

That seems reasonable to me. Cleon?

Let me just clarify; my prereq would be any character with a +6 BAB or +6 Will save would qualify. But I'm willing to negotiate on the numbers.

Yes, checking the original writeup it says they were "usually powerful warriors or priests" so pure caster seems in order.

How about trying a reverse-engineering approach of deciding on a level and fitting the BAB and Will save to fit?

If we want a cleric of fighter around 9th level to be eligible, that would match +3 base Will save (fighter 9) or +6 BAB (cleric 8th).

The lowest level combination that qualifies is cleric 1 / fighter 6 (+4 base Will, +6 BAB).

I would rather increase the minimum single-class level to about 12th, i.e. +4 Will (fighter 12) and +8 BAB (cleric 12), which can be optimized to cleric 1/fighter 8.

I'm OK with +4 Will, +8 BAB.

 

[freyar]

That's fine here, too. I was going for either/or, but "and" works as well.

Ready for the sample?

Ready for the sample?

Okay by me.

The sample knight terror should have "knight terror" in "The following characters have acquired the fiend knight template."

Good catch!

So, what do we want to do for the sample? The optimized Cleric 1, Fighter 8?

You mean that's not an added benefit of this template?

Good catch!

Sure!
