[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5597458, member: 57383"] That's the precedence I'd use if we do have the template convert an Animal to a Magical Beast. e.g.: [INDENT][B]Creating an Air Fish[/B] "Air fish" is an inherited template that can be added to any animal with the Aquatic subtype (referred to hereafter as the base creature).

The 64 gold piece question is does a magical-meddling origin and the ability to fly make them outré enough to become Magical Beast? "Magical beasts usually have supernatural or extraordinary abilities, but sometimes are merely bizarre in appearance or habits." Hmm, I guess the ability to swim through air as if it were water is fairly bizarre (for the real world anyway, for D&D where it seems more run-of-the-mill). Oh, the heck with it. We might as well make them Magical Beasts with Animal stats. [/QUOTE]
