[QUOTE="Danzilla, post: 416712, member: 7468"] There's a draconic template in the latest Dragon Mag (301)... And, getting back to the original request... statting a creature with such a mixed bad of pros and cons would get kind of tricky, but first I would start by taking the average CR of each creature and multiplying it by the pecentage included in the new creature. (ie. dragon 1/4 would work out to (.25*(average dragon CR))) don't have my books with me right now so I can’t be more specific...apply this method to each of the base parents and the largest amount would point to the "base" creature’s stats... use the template for the base creature (assuming it’s not human, elf or orc) as your baseline for the template... add to this the pros and cons from the other templates modified by their individual percentages... (ie. subtract 87.5% of the elves bonuses and 87.5% of their weakness if they have any and I would limit that to at least one of each if the number is reduced below 1) continue with each template until finished and for any abilities that overlap, go with the largest bonus... should give you something interesting... as to what to call it...I vote for Bob...
