D&D 3E/3.5 Knightfall's "Humanoids + Templates = Fun" Thread (Retired)

[Buddha the DM]

I'll try to put the Half-Fey/Goblins up later on tonight.

 

[Krishnath]

Damn, guess I can't post my blue minotaur then.... MotP, may I suggest a Wood Elemental Elf (wood elf! Get it? )

Hmm... maybe I should post my winged reptilian drow? (Droloch)

Later,

What an excellent idea. How about the Wood Elemental Template on the Bamboo Elves from JD&HG? Hmm, I'm going to have to do that one but I want to get through my set list for the monster manual humanoids.

And how about the Blue template on something else, like say and orc or bugbear?

 

[Krishnath]

What blue template? It's just a regular minotaur gladiator who has been magically treated to have blue fur (Gharlocke by the way, is the most popular gladiator of Medano, a large city in my campaign world. Yes, the minotaur's name is Gharlocke).

I'll probably post the Droloch eventually.

Edit: Crap on a stick, forgot the color closer.

[Krishnath]

Very cool, very cool indeed. Now, I definetly have to get Fiend Folio!

 

[Knightfall]

What blue template?

My mistake.

The Blue is a psionic goblin in the PsiHB. It was obviously created with the Psionic template, which is at the beginning of Chapter 8: Monsters in the PsiHB.

Later,

KF72

p.s. Buddha, I like the Half-Fey/Goblin. Very cool. I might have to take a second look at fiend folio once i have some more money.

Shadow wood raccoons, or Shade wood ‘coons as they are sometimes known, are raccoons that seem to be made up of long, dark vines, with occasional bark hide. Though they are not swayed in any moral direction, they do tend to be mischievous.

COMBAT

They attack from the shadows, and only use melee combat if the opponent is to strong or they are seen.

Slow Fall (Ex): A raccoon that is within arm's reach (or forepaw's reach if you prefer) of a solid surface (wall, tree, etc) can use the surface to slow its descent. The raccoon takes damage as if the fall were 30 feet shorter that it actually is.

Shadow blend (Su): In any other condition other then full daylight a shadow creatures can disappear into the shadows, giving 9/10 concealment. Artificial illumination, or even light or continual flame, does not affect this, but a daylight spell will.

Elemental: Immune to poison, sleep, paralysis and stunning. Not subject to critical hits.

Plant: Also due to the closeness to plants it is immune to polymorphing and mind-influencing effects.

Wood sense (Ex): The can Detect any creature in contact with vegetation, within 60ft, even if the is not in contact with the same vegetation.

Skills: Raccoons receive a +4 racial bonus to Listen and Spot checks, and a +6 to move silently

The oceawn floors of the worlds are littered with shipwrecks, hidden temples and sunken ruins. Some of these places still hold some power, and sea-dwellers who spend their lives near it may suffer the consequences of ancient magic. Once every few generations, from the tribe of Merfolk living in wat was once the island-kingdom of Aelantia, renowned for it's splendor and endless magic, a child is born with a unique gift. She has two heads. Infused with the lingering magic of Aelantia, she develops differently in her mother's womb, and the resonance between the twin minds invariably awaken the child's psionic potential. Though shunned by her peers and elders, the Mindswimmer is always a stalwart defender of her birth community. A Mindswimmer's daughters are also Mindswimmers. Sons are 'standard' Merfolk.

Ferret, while your Shadow wood raccoon is kind of cool. It really doesn't qualify as a 'humanoid'. Try to stay within the threads theme please. (You don't have to remove the Shadowood 'coons though.)
