[QUOTE="FnordBear, post: 3678853, member: 15897"] Frankly two of my favorite templates by far are in Book fo Vile Darkness, the Corpse Creature and Skeletal Creature templates. I have tons of medium to high cr creatures for my Ravenloft campaign in no time at all. Best part is they are not mindless undead. I even replaced the main monster in a key encounter with a human warrior with the corpse creature template. It was memorable to say the least. Breaking the rules on what templates you can and cant stack is pretty fun too, it can lead to some interesting results. Here are some other ideas I have had. "Bone Cat" Skeletal Creature Mountain Lion - Whats scaries, a skeletal mountain lion running at you mindlessly attacking, or a skeletal cat silently stalking you through the woods, unrelenting, cold, calculating, and untiring. "Death Mantis" Corpse Creature thrikreen - Fast, armored, cunningly intelligent abominations of undeath and chiton. "Eye of Judgement" Half Celestial Beholder - Holy Eye-See-You Batman! "Holy Pyre" Half Celestial Elder Fire Elemental - For when you need a little fire and brimstone for you good aligned gods. "Siege Dragon" Clockwork Creature Adult Red Dragon - Its a wind up red dragon used by some armies as a hard-hitting ultimate weapon. "Protoforged" Half-iron golem warforged - Cunningly intelligent warforged of unusual size and thick iron plates making up large portions of thier body. "Chaos Gargoyle" Elder Eidolon Mooncalf - Large, flying, tentacled masses made of black bassalt and otherworldly geometry. Servitors of powerful Alienists. "Stormscarab" Insectile Storm Giant - Huge green-shelled mantis creature with a penchant for controling the weather. [/QUOTE]
