[QUOTE="grubba2000, post: 4350372, member: 71558"] After reading Dmg templates on Pg. 175 and class templates I decided to try to find a way to put templates available to my players. I found that I could mix some templates with paragon paths and some other templates with epic destinies and get lots more options for new and interesting character builds. So far I got those options: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- FEAT: [B]Unique destiny.[/B] [B]Prerequisite[/B]: level 11. [B]Benefit[/B]: You have some unique and remarkable features that distinguishes you from others of your kind. Such features were attained maybe in form of a pact with feylords or demonic entities, or even came from an overwhelming understanding of elemental forces that surrounds you. Choose one template of those below, according to your class, and replace your normal paragon path features or epic destiny features with the template features. In case of paragon tier template: Choose one paragon path you could normally choose and use its powers normally. [B]Special[/B]: you can only take this feat once. TEMPLATES -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [B]Battle champion:[/B] Classes: fighter, paladin,warlord. Tier: paragon. Type: unchanged. The battle champion is a tougher-than-normal humanoid monster from a civilized tribe or nation, such as a goblin king, a drow duelist, or the commander of a garrison of dwarves. It is not only a skilled warrior, but also a rallying point for allies in combat. 11th: replace your paragon path feature with: Battle lord tactics. 11th: replace your paragon path feature with: Battle talent. 16th: replace your paragon path feature with: inspiring assault. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [B]Death knight[/B] Classes: fighter,paladin. Tier:epic. Type: undead. Death knights were once powerful warriors who have been granted eternal undeath, whether as punishment for a grave betrayal or reward for a lifetime of servitude to a dark master. A death knight’s soul is bound to the weapon it wields, adding necrotic power to its undiminished martial prowess. Death knights make good leaders for groups of undead creatures. 21th: replace your epic destiny feature with:senses darkvision, Immune disease, poison, Resist 10 necrotic at 11th level, 15 necrotic at 21st level, Vulnerable 10 radiant. 24th : replace your epic destiny feature with: marshal undead. 26th: replace your epic destiny feature with: soul weapon. 30th replace your epic destiny feature with: unholy flames. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [B]Death master[/B] Classes: wizard,cleric,warlock. Tier:paragon. Type: shadow. A death master is the epitome of necromantic power. It can call undead creatures from the grave to serve it and to smite its enemies with fell magic that drain life energy for its own use. 11th: replace your paragon feature with: Resist 5 necrotic at 1st level, 10 necrotic at 11th level, 15 necrotic at 21st level 11th: replace your paragon feature with: Shroud of the grave 16th: replace your paragon feature with: Call of the grave. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [B]Demonic Acolyte[/B] Classes: wizard,cleric,warlock. Tier: epic Type: unchanged. This template reflects grim priests of Orcus, raving cult lords of Demogorgon, sacred berserkers of Baphomet, and devotees of other demon lords. A demon lord must personally invest power in an acolyte, making such foes particularly dangerous. 21th: replace your epic destiny feature with:Resist 5 (choose one type) at 1st level, 10 (choose two types)at 11th level, 15 (choose three types) at 21st level 24th: replace your epic destiny feature with: shield of abyssal majesty 26th: replace your epic destiny feature with:abyssal might 30th: replace your epic destiny feature with:consume soul. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [B]Feyborn[/B] Classes: any Tier: paragon. Type: fey Feyborn creatures embody the Feywild. They have been subtly transformed by the plane’s powerful, uncontrolled magic. Some underwent prolonged exposure to powerful fey magic. Others are favorites of fey lords, who granted them special boons in return for faithful service. 11th: replace your paragon feature with: Step Through the Mists 11th: replace your paragon feature with: undeniable beauty 16th: replace your paragon feature with: lure of the wild -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [B]Frost Adept[/B] Classes: warlock, wizards. Tier: paragon. Type: elemental A frost adept is a champion of elemental cold, specially chosen for strict adherence to its master’s power. Elemental beings grant the might of ice to especially faithful servants, such as an utterly devoted priest or a warrior of unmatched skill. 11th: replace your paragon feature with: Resist 5 cold at 1st level, 10 cold at 11th level, 15 cold at 21st level 11th: replace your paragon feature with: body of ice 16th: replace your paragon feature with: ice master. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [B]Lich[/B] Classes: warlock,wizards Tier: epic Type: undead.
