[QUOTE="poilbrun, post: 499639, member: 532"] My opinion is that all those templates on top of a construct is a bit odd, even though all of the templates say that they can only be applied to "any creature", some of them say "any corporeal creature". Then, two half-templates seem a bit odd. You can be half elf - half celestial for example, but if you are an elf with the half-celestial and half-dragon, should you change the name of the template to be third-elf - third-dragon - third-celestial? I'd limit the use of a "half" template to only one per creature... So, here's my opinion : either ditch half-dragon or half-celestial, and put this on top of a fully advanced hecatoncheires or the like. Furthermore, if I only applied the Core Rules, I'd probably lower the CR modifier for the Paragon and Pseudonatural template since some of the ability given by each do not stack. Even with the CR as it is normally (58), this creature by far outclasses any party of this level. I'd be curious to see Upper Krust try his revised CR system and tell us against characters of which level you should pit this creature according to it... Anyway, good job... I always like to see rules taken to extremes. :D [/QUOTE]
