If the template changes the base creature's size, use the Size Increases chart in the Introduction of the Monster Manual to calculate changes to natural armor, Armor Class, and attack rolls.The process of adding a template can sometimes be confusing. In such a case, add the template on top of class levels, monster Hit Dice, and so forth. For instance, a character can acquire the lycanthrope template when bitten by a lycanthrope.

All of the templates presented in this article are acquired templates.Ī character desiring an acquired template can add it when the character meets the qualifications of the template. Celestial, fiendish, half-celestial, half-dragon, and half-fiend all assume the creature or character was born with the respective template. Other templates assume the creature or character was born that way. Those with 5 or more HD killed by vampires might become vampires. A spellcaster of at least 11th level can become a lich. A monster or character might become a ghost in death. Lycanthropy can afflict anyone allowed by the lycanthrope template at any point. Some templates can be added to monsters or characters at almost any time. In fact, a player character with a template is little different from any other character, and anyone reading this is ready for the challenges they present. This increases the creature's Challenge Rating and provides players and characters with unexpected challenges.Īs long as the DM is part of the decision to add a template to a player character, she should be ready for that character's new abilities. Adding a template gives a monster or character a suite of abilities its kind does not normally have.
