[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8862810, member: 57383"] Well the base Modronoid looks like a regular monster. Could go for a template with the Hierarch Modronoid as described above. Figuring out how the CR / EL for such a Template would work may prove troublesome. Although is such a Template terribly different from a wizard taking over a decaton's body using [I]magic jar[/I] or casting [I]shapechange[/I] and assuming the form of a decaton? Apart from it being permanent and due to some weird brain transplant rather than a spell. The game mechanical elements of it would be more or less the same. Come to think of it, if the Template can give a character the body of a decaton or other Hierarch Modrons, then can it give a character the body of a Base Modron too? Can you have, say, a quadrone with the mind of a dwarf paladin or a Tridrone elf rogue? But if the Template is some kind of brain transplant it begs the question as to what kinds of creatures the template allows a crazy wizard to stick a brain in, and what sort of donor said brain can come from. Science this mad might not be limited to humanoid brains in modron bodies! Dang it, the whole thing is too vaguely defined. The basic idea is simple but the implications are too complicated. The standard issue Modronoid is a lot clearer. Let's start working on that one and see if we can come up with a better handle on the Brain-Transplant Modronoid later. [/QUOTE]
