The skill bonuses are recalculated using the new abilities and ability adjustments listed above.Feats: The gloomfetch thrall retains all the feats of the base creature and gains the Improved Initiative and Skill Foclus (Concentration) feats, assuming the creature meets the prerequisites and doesn’t already have these feats.Environment: The gloomfetch thrall gains the subterranean type.Organization: Same as the gloomfetch.Treasure: Double standard.Alignment: Always Lawful EvilAdvancement: By character class.Level Adjustment: Same as the gloomfetch +2.Gloomfetch thralls are are always evil, which causes characters of certain classes to lose some class abilities, as noted in Chapter 3 of the Player’s Handbook. In addition, certain classes take additional penalties.Barbarians: Barbarians lose their Illiteracy, Rage, Uncanny Dodge, Improved Uncanny Dodge, Indomitable Will, Tireless Rage, and Mighty Rage, and cannot gain levels in Barbarian while enthralled.Bards: Bards lose all their mind-affecting abilities and special qualities, and cannot gain levels in Bard while enthralled.Clerics: Clerics loses all spells and class features, except for armor and shield proficiencies and proficiency with simple weapons. He or she cannot thereafter gain levels as a cleric of that god until they atone (see the atonement spell description on page 201 in the Player’s Handbook).Druids: Druids lose all spells and druidic abilities (including his or her animal companion, but not including weapon, armor and shield proficiencies). He or she cannot thereafter gain levels as a druid until they atone (see the atonement spell description on page 201 in the Player’s Handbook). However, they lose their animal companions; the link between them is broken, and the companion shuns its former master. Another one can never be gained, even once freed because animals will always be uneasy around the druid, sensing the taint of the gloomfetch.Paladins: Paladins lose all paladin spells and abilities (including the service of the paladin’s mount, but not weapon, armor, and shield proficiencies). She may not progress any farther in levels of a paladin. He or she regains their abilities and advancements, but must atone for their violations. However, paladins do not lose the ability to ever regain levels in their class due to being enthralled because their acts are not their own. However, once freed, they may be able to atone (see the atonement spell description on page 201 in the Player’s Handbook), depending upon the deity at the GM’s discretion. However, they lose their paladin mounts; the link between them is broken, and the animal shuns its former master. Another one can never be gained, even once freed because animals will always be uneasy around the paladin, sensing the taint of the gloomfetch.Rangers: Rangers lose their divine spells and animal companions; the link between them is broken, and the companion shuns its former master. Another one can never be gained, even once freed because animals will always be uneasy around the ranger, sensing the taint of the gloomfetch.Sorcerers and WIzards: Gloomfetch thrall who are sorcerers and wizards retain their class abilities, but if a character has a familiar, the link between them is broken, and the familiar shuns its former companion. Another one can never be gained, even once freed because animals will always be uneasy around the sorcerer or wizard, sensing the taint of the gloomfetch.I think I have the template figured out. How's this for a thrall? Even got some more artwork to go with it.</blockquote>
