Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pure Puppet" data-source="post: 1857747" data-attributes="member: 23019">I thought these up quite recently.  Snake is a template I created for a sort of serpent-like creature.  I wasn't really satisfied with the Reptilian template from Savage Species, so I snipped bits of that and the Yuan-Ti tainted one template and used them in Snake.  I'm really unhappy with the name, however - if you have a better name for it, feel free to say so.Filth-encrusted is something I just completed a couple of minutes ago, while I was thinking of what kind of creatures you could reasonbly expect to find in a sewer.  It took me about fifteen minutes to create, so it might be a little out of whack.SnakeTemplate"Snake" is an inherited template that can be added to any Giant, Animal, Humanoid, or Monstrous Humanoid (hereafter referred to as the base creature) with a skeletal system. A Snake has all the base creature's characteristics except as noted here.Size and Type: Size remains unchanged. Humanoids with this template become Monstrous Humanoids, and Animals become Magical Beasts.  They gain the Reptilian subtype.Hit Dice: Unchanged.Speed: The base creature gains a climb speed equal to its base land speed.AC: The base creature gains an additional +4 bonus to natural armor.Attacks: The base creature gains a bite attack if it did not already have one. If it did possess a natural bite attack, increase the damage as if it were one size larger.Damage: If the base creature is described as being proficient with weapons, than the bite is a secondary natural attack. If the base creature is not described as being proficient with weapons, than the bite is a primary natural attack.Special Attacks: Snake creatures gain a poison that does 1d4 Constitution damage plus 1d2 secondary Constitution damage. This poison is injected with a successful bite attack.Special Qualities: The base creature gains 60-foot tremorsense and darkvision. If the base creaure had either of these qualities, their range is doubled.Abilities: +4 Dex, +2 WisClimate/Terrain: Any Temperate and Underground.Organization: As base creature.Challenge Rating: As base creature +1Advancement: As base creature.Filth-EncrustedTemplate‘Filth-Encrusted’ is an acquired template that can be applied to any corporeal creature (hereafter referred to as the base creature) that has spent at least one month in a sewer or similar location.  A Filth-Encrusted creature has all the base creature’s characteristics except as noted here.Size and Type: Unchanged.Hit Dice: Unchanged.Speed: Unchanged.AC: The base creature gains a +1 deflection bonus to AC.Attacks: Unchanged.Damage: Unchanged.Special Attacks: The base creature can make a melee touch attack to smear some of it’s filth on an opponent.  The filth is so toxic that the affected creature must make a DC 15 fortitude save or immediately contract filth fever.  If the base creature has a natural attack, it inflicts filth fever without the need for a touch attack.Special Qualities: The base creature gains the stench special quality.  All creatures within 30 feet that do not have the Filth-Encrusted template must make a DC 15 fortitude save or be shaken for ten rounds.  A creature with the Scent ability takes a -4 penalty on the saving throw.  If the base creature possessed the Scent ability, it is lost.Saves: Filth-encrusted creatures receive a +2 bonus on all fortitude saving throws, and an additional +4 bonus on saving throws to resist disease.Abilities: +4 Con, -2 ChaClimate/Terrain: Any Underground.Organization: As base creature.Challenge Rating: As base creature +1Advancement: As base creature.</blockquote>
