[QUOTE="hamishspence, post: 4388290, member: 41555"] [b]I personally like the idea[/b] Primarily because it enebles old favorites; dragons with spells (wizard template) Dragon liches which are actually mostly the original creature, not the present-day dracolich. And so on. Since the phrasing was "Adding template to a monster makes it an elite monster", not "adding template to a standard monster makes it an elite monster" it might be an interesting idea. Tricky part is rules need slight adjustments. Instead of Counts as Two Monsters, it needs to be "counts as 1 extra monster" and instead of 1 action point, 1 Extra action point. so it sould have extra powers and HP, count as 6 monsters, not 5, for XP and encounter build, and have 3 action points and +7 to saves. might be a shade overpowered. Or might not, given how easy it is to get a monsters saves against effects reduced. Its an alternative to simply saying "they only mean standard monsters" [/QUOTE]
