[QUOTE="Eosin the Red, post: 1258324, member: 168"] Well, I guess I should clarify for you. I was talking about the need for templates on every single character. Do those characters remain Yuan Ti? Is Frankenstien a human? He is a half golem if I ever heard of one. The collection of stats seems less an article on Yuan Ti and more an article on half bred monsters. I like stated creatures on the web site, they are time savers. I went looking for some Yuan Ti and I did not find any. Why does "Elite" = Must have a template? Why can't it mean 3 levels in ranger? or 8 levels in druid? Is there a rule that I am unaware that requires templates for the designator "Elite"? If so, then I was unaware and can see how my question is construed as a "dumb complaint," if there is no such rule then I re-iterate the question why is everything half bred. There is more genetic engineering going on in fantasy D&D than in RIFTs and the Star Trek eugenics war combined to crank out the number of half breed monsters seen around these parts lately. Where are all of these colleges of magical genetic crossbreeding? There must be some form of unified experimentation since it seems that a huge percentage of creatures are no longer pure breed strains. If there are no vast networks of magical genetic engineers - Did the Dragon mate with the T-Rex or vice versa? Was it consentual? Did anyone press charges? Monster mayham....now there I expect templates galore and sometimes they are even good. I am just curious to know when the trend started that requires everything to have a template and if other people find it as plain dumb as I do? PS - I like free stuff. Those who read the initial post will find that it is about the use of templates. Yes, you can use levels and still be a stock Yuan Ti (as in STOCK not changed into something else). And if I want to make a dumb complaint....more power to me. Try a better responce than "What a dumb complaint." It may not be something that you find bothersome but by all means your personal tastes are not the end all be all of D&D fashion. [/QUOTE]
