Message: <blockquote data-quote="hong" data-source="post: 434424" data-attributes="member: 537">So, I hate the "legendary" animals in MotW and MM2 (nothing more than normal animals with bigger numbers). At the same time, they do fill a niche, namely giving druids and rangers better animal companions as they go up levels.So here's an example of a demi-animal template I cooked up. I'm trying to make an animal that can be retained indefinitely (or at least up to 20th level), rather than making the character chop-and-change animal companions.DEMI-ANIMAL[insert blahblah flavour text] This template can be applied to any animalor beast.Size: as base creature.HD: as base creature.AC: the demi-animal gains a +2 insight bonus to AC.Atks/Dmg: as base creature.SA: the demi-animal gains smite (+4 to attack roll, +HD damage up to max+20), usable once per day.SQ: the demi-animal gains the following special qualities:- SR equal to double its HD (max SR 25)- DR as a celestial creature (5/+1 for 4-7HD, 5/+2 for 8-11HD, 10/+3 for >11HD)- +5 inherent bonus to Int- darkvision 60'- disease and cold immunitySaves: the demi-animal has all good saves.Abilities: Str +4, Dex +4, Con +2, Wis +4, Cha +2.Skills: the demi-animal gains one skill point per extra HD. Hide, Listen, Move Silently and Spot are always class skills for demi-animals.Feats: the demi-animal gains one feat, plus one additional feat per 4 extra HD.Alignment: any non-evil.CR: as base creature +1, or HD/2, whichever is greater.Advancement: unlimited.Example advanced demi-boar: HD 5d8+25; 47 hp; Init +2; Spd 40 ft; AC 20 (+6 natural, +2 Dex, +2 insight); Atks +8 melee (1d8+6, gore); SA Ferocity, smite; SQ SR 10, DR 5/+1, scent, darkvision, turn resist +5, disease and cold immunity; AL NG; SV Fort +9, Ref +6, Will +6; Str 19, Dex 14, Con 21, Int 7, Wis 15, Cha 6.Skills and feats: Listen +8, Spot +6, Weapon Focus (gore).Comments? How would this scale as levels/HD increase?</blockquote>
