Yeah, there's not much flavor to them, but if I need to add something to merit +1 CR, suggestions would be welcome. Creating a "Breather"Breather is a template that can be added to any animal or magical beast (referred to hereafter as the "base creature"). If an animal, the creature's type changes to "magical beast." It uses all of the base creature's statistics and special abilities except as noted here.Special Attacks: A breather retains all of the special attacks of the base creature and also gains the following attack:Breath Weapon:Roll 1d6 or choose one:1 Cone of Fire*2 Cone of Cold3 Line of Acid*4 Line of Lightning5 Cone of Sound6 Cone of Petrification* A cone is always 30' long and a line is always 60' long.The save DC is equal to half the creatures hit die plus it's Constitution modifier. The breath weapon deals 1d6 damage per two hit die and can be used once every 1d4 rounds.Special Qualities: A Breather retains of the special qualities of the base creature and also gains the following:Resistances: The base creature gains resistance 10 to the type of energy of its breath weapon.If the breath weapon is petrification, it gains the following:Immunity: Immune to petrification.Abilities: Constitution +2.Challenge Rating: Same as the base creature +1.Creating a "Gazer""Gazer" is a template that can be added to any animal, magical beast, or (referred to hereafter as the "base creature").
