[Full disclosure: I'm currently running a Kickstarter for a D20/Fate game called Aspects of Fantasy]
Below is creature write-up from Aspects of Fantasy that shows how Fate and D20 can be combined to design a creature. The creature is a Nightgaunt, a fiendish horror from the Cthulhu Mythos,. There are a couple items on this page that may be of some interest:
Invoking and compelling creature aspects and using special traits – all of which is limited and controlled through fate points – makes creature interaction and D20 combat very dynamic. As you can tell, I'm a big fan of Fate in my D20 campaign, at least in regards to aspects and fate points.
Thanks,
Steve Bode

Below is creature write-up from Aspects of Fantasy that shows how Fate and D20 can be combined to design a creature. The creature is a Nightgaunt, a fiendish horror from the Cthulhu Mythos,. There are a couple items on this page that may be of some interest:
- Creatures have a default set of aspects (though the GM is encouraged to come up with his own to make a creature more unique).
- Like player characters, the GM gets fate points to invoke aspects and power certain traits.
- Player characters can also compel a creature’s aspects to their benefit if they so desire. They can do this if: they are familiar with the creature in some way, they are willing to spend a fate point, and the GM agrees to the compel.
- Movement is in Areas. So, a nightgaunt can move 2 Areas on the ground during a round or 4 Areas while flyimg.
- Like characters, creatures have Primary and Secondary Attributes. Primary attributes are generally a creature’s level + requisite modifier, secondary attributes are 1/2 a creature’s level + requisite modifier. Attributes are used for saving throws, as well as for certain combat derived abilities and opposed attribute contests.
