I'm certain this originated on ENWorld. Anyone know who started it?

I came across it on Monte Cook's boards long before it was common here.

I started using it here after it became ingrained via a lot of the threads I read over there, but I don't know if it was being used here before that. I don't recall seeing it, though.

Oh, by the RAW, slaying weapons only apply to race, not to class. So a rules lawyer slaying sword cannot be done by the rules.

Now which creature type does a critter get when it acquires this template...?
