Templates: anyone want to take a guess?

[Cake Mage]

What other monster templates do you think are going to be in the DMG?

My guess on some of the tmeplates:
(Keep in mind this is my guess!!)

Death Knight
Vampire Lord
Celestial
Fiendish (or half demon)
Dragonblooded or Half Dragon
Shadow Touched or Fey Touched (maybe both)

Bold indicates what we know is in.

Any other guesses?

Lycanthrope

Ghost
Lich
Elemental (fire, air, earth, water)
shadow
fey-touched (half-fey)
lycanthrope

I'm betting that Vampire Lord and Vampire Vizier are different creatures, both with the vampire template, rather than two separate templates.

Reread the preview. The Vampire Vizier miniature is a creature that has had the Vampire Lord template applied to it.

The second template is the Vampire Lord, and the Vampire Vizier is an example of this template being applied on a controller or lurker role.

Don't care what they are.

Very interested in how they are implemented. I'm hoping for ...

+50 hps
+5 AC bonus
+10 damage per attack (melee/ranged)
x/day can do X
y/encounter can also do Y
at/will can do Y
Vulnerabilties

DONE

Ah misread that. Changed!

I would think, then, that there is going to be either vampires as a standard monster, or there will be another template that is moer a kin to a "simpler" vampire.

This is a single template, said template usually being applied to small furry mammals.

That's all I got right now (very tired). People can copy and paste to that list if the want. I don't think Elemental is gonna be on there though, since we already have Elementals, Efreet, Archons, Elemental Giants & Titans, etc. We've got enough Elemental to last dozens of campaigns.

I'm looking forward to two things:
1. I bet some of those templates are going to be totally new concepts to D&D, and they'll be cool.
2. A Template Builder's Guide-rules. I want to make my own templates. Specifically, I want the evil Emperor Dragooz to take the cruelest, most sadistic criminals from the Empire's prisons and subject them to terrible rituals that transform them into hulking, bone-crushing brutes that show unswerving loyalty to the Emperor's Warlocks and all the compassion and kindness they had before. These are the shock troops the Emperor's enemies meet in battle, These are the guards that guard the palaces.

They are Sardukar. Half-Giants. Uruk-Hai. What have you.

Now you know where they come from. They were men once, but now twisted and evil(er).
