[QUOTE="Felon, post: 1422787, member: 8158"] Hmm. Been looking over a lot of these templates. I realize many folks may consider this a trifle, but it seems that as an aberration, there are very few templates that actually are available for the ruster. That's irksome. Obviously as a DM I can allow whatever I want, but I want my players to think "what a diabolical design" and not "what a cheesy angle". A lot of that has to do with designing creatures within the boundaries of what the template states are "legal" combinations. Then again, from looking at the 3.5e MM, it looks like the revised outlook on templates is to broaden the applicability of templates, as many of them now simply state "any corporeal creature". Btw, Jondor, I believe the feat you're referring to is for creatures that have regeneration as a special quality. Also, the warbeast and monster of legend templates are from MMII. Annoyingly, neither make allowances for aberrations. In regards to Lord Anthrax's suggestion about using an annihlator, I think that I should've stated up front that ideally the CR will range from 8-10. [/QUOTE]
