Is There a 3.5 Version of the Cambion?

[GwydapLlew]

I've been looking through my books and Dragons, and I can't find a newer version of it anywhere. I haven't had a chance to look at FCI, which would be the logical place for it, but does anyone know of the cambion being updated?

look for the MM under fiendish.

it is basically a template in the newest edition

I thought about that possibility. I was hoping it wouldn't be the case. :/

Half fiend is more appropriate, and called a cambion in a few places.

But Tome of Horrors (which has a 3.0 print version and 3.5 pdf version) has an actual cambion, which has monstrous hit dice and is not a template.

Tome of Horrors? Is it 3rd party?

Edit: Nevermind. I'm in idiot.

The thing I didn't/don't like about the cambion is the idea that the vast variety of demonic forms can be encompassed by a single set of stats (or two sets, if we count the alu-demon/alu-fiend). Of course, the half-fiendish template isn't much better in that regard, but at least they aren't all described as looking the same way.

The Half-Fiendish Variety article at wizards.com is a fine antidote to that specific pathology.

Those interested in variety in their half fiends should definitely consider picking up Green Ronin's Aasimar & Tiefling. It has rules for building custom half fiends with various progenitors.

I was under the impression that Arcanis had a cambion. Paradigm Concepts' Legacy of Damnation deals with all things otherwordly, and there are certainly cambions in there.

And they even refer to the "stock" half-fiend as a cambion.
