Each creature has one type, which broadly defines its abilities. Some creatures also have one or more subtypes. A creature cannot violate the rules of its subtype without a special ability or quality to explain the difference—templates can often change a creature’s type drastically.

The following types have changed from the original Pathfinder versions so use this instead of those. If a type is not listed here than it has not changed and you should refer to the Pathfinder version.

Bite: This is a primary attack that deals the indicated damage plus 1-1/2 times the dragon’s Strength bonus (even though it has more than one attack). A dragon’s bite attack has reach as if the creature were one size category larger (+10 feet for Colossal dragons).
Claws: These primary attacks deal the indicated damage plus the dragon’s Strength bonus.
Gore: As they are wingless, Medium and larger imperial dragons make gore attacks with their horns instead of wing attacks. A gore is a primary attack that deals the indicated damage plus 1-1/2 times the dragon’s Strength bonus. An imperial dragon’s gore attack has reach as if the creature were one size category larger (+10 feet for Colossal dragons).
Wings: The dragon can slam foes with its wings, even when flying. Wing attacks are secondary attacks that deal the indicated damage plus 1/2 the dragon’s Strength bonus.
Tail Slap: The dragon can slap one foe each round with its tail. A tail slap is a secondary attack that deals the indicated damage plus 1-1/2 times the dragon’s Strength bonus (this is an exception to the normal secondary attack rules).
Crush (Ex): A flying or jumping Huge or larger dragon can land on foes as a standard action, using its whole body to crush them. Crush attacks are effective only against opponents three or more size categories smaller than the dragon. A crush attack affects as many creatures as fit in the dragon’s space. Creatures in the affected area must succeed on a Reflex save (DC equal to that of the dragon’s breath weapon) or be pinned, automatically taking bludgeoning damage during the next round unless the dragon moves off them. If the dragon chooses to maintain the pin, it must succeed at a combat maneuver check as normal. Pinned foes take damage from the crush each round if they don’t escape. A crush attack deals the indicated damage plus 1-1/2 times the dragon’s Strength bonus.
Tail Sweep (Ex): This allows a Gargantuan or larger dragon to sweep with its tail as a standard action. The sweep affects a half-circle with a radius of 30 feet (or 40 feet for a Colossal dragon), extending from an intersection on the edge of the dragon’s space in any direction. Creatures within the swept area are affected if they are four or more size categories smaller than the dragon. A tail sweep automatically deals the indicated damage plus 1-1/2 times the dragon’s Strength bonus (round down). Affected creatures can attempt Reflex saves to take half damage (DC equal to that of the dragon’s breath weapon).
Breath Weapon (Su): Using a breath weapon is a standard action. A dragon can use its breath weapon once every 1d4 rounds, even if it possesses more than one breath weapon. A breath weapon always starts at an intersection adjacent to the dragon and extends in a direction of the dragon’s choice. Breath weapons come in two shapes, lines and cones, whose areas vary with the dragon’s size. If a breath weapon deals damage, those caught in the area can attempt Reflex saves to take half damage. The save DC against a breath weapon is 10 + 1/2 dragon’s HD + dragon’s Con modifier. Saves against various breath weapons use the same DC; the type of saving throw is noted in the variety descriptions. A dragon can use its breath weapon when it is grappling or being grappled. Below lists a group of breath weapon:

Table: Dragon Breath Weapon

Blue	Water	Line
Brown	Earth	Line
Crystal	Non-elemental	Cone
Green	Wind	Cone

Spell Resistance (Ex): As dragons grow older, they become more resistant to spells and spell-like abilities, as indicated in the dragon descriptions. A dragon’s SR is equal to 11 + its CR.

Outsiders

An outsider is at least partially composed of the essence (but not necessarily the material) of some plane other than the Material Plane. Some creatures start out as some other type and become outsiders when they attain a higher (or lower) state of spiritual existence.

An outsider has the following features.

d10 Hit Dice.
Base attack bonus equal to total Hit Dice (fast progression).
Two good saving throws, usually Reflex and Will.
Skill points equal to 6 + Int modifier (minimum 1) per Hit Die. The following are class skills for outsiders: Bluff, Craft, Knowledge (planes), Perception, Sense Motive, and Stealth. Due to their varied nature, outsiders also receive 4 additional class skills determined by the creature’s theme.

Darkvision 60 feet.
Outsiders gain alignment bonuses to overcomes damage reduction as if its natural weapons and any weapons it wields are chaotically, lawfully, good, or evil aligned based on their current alignment.
Unlike most living creatures, an outsider does not have a dual nature—its soul and body form one unit. When an outsider is slain, no soul is set loose. Spells that restore souls to their bodies, such as raise dead, reincarnate, and resurrection, don’t work on an outsider. It takes a different magical effect, such as limited wish, wish, miracle, or true resurrection to restore it to life. An outsider with the native subtype can be raised, reincarnated, or resurrected just as other living creatures can be.
Proficient with all simple and martial weapons and any weapons mentioned in its entry.
Proficient with whatever type of armor (light, medium, or heavy) it is described as wearing, as well as all lighter types. Outsiders not indicated as wearing armor are not proficient with armor. Outsiders are proficient with shields if they are proficient with any form of armor.
Outsiders breathe, but do not need to eat or sleep (although they can do so if they wish). Native outsiders breathe, eat, and sleep.

Ooze

An ooze is an amorphous or mutable creature, usually mindless.

An ooze has the following features.

d8 Hit Die.
Base attack bonus equal to 3/4 total Hit Dice (medium progression).

Traits: An ooze possesses the following traits (unless otherwise noted in a creature’s entry).

Mindless: No Intelligence score, and immunity to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, and morale effects). An ooze with an Intelligence score loses this trait.

Resist against physical by 50%, which reduces physical type damage by half.
Immunity to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, polymorph, and stunning.
Some oozes have the ability to deal earth damage to objects. In such a case, the amount of damage is equal to 10 + 1/2 ooze’s HD + ooze’s Con modifier per full round of contact.
Not subject to critical hits or flanking. Immune to precision damage.
Proficient with its natural weapons only.
Proficient with no armor.
Oozes eat and breathe, but do not sleep.

An undead creature has the following features.

d8 Hit Die.
Base attack bonus equal to 3/4 total Hit Dice (medium progression).
Good Will Saves.

Traits: An undead creature possesses the following traits (unless otherwise noted in a creature’s entry).

Weakness to holy damage.
Healing magic causes damage to the undead.
Cannot heal damage on its own if it has no Intelligence score, although it can be healed. Dark energy (such as a dark spell) can heal undead creatures. The fast healing special quality works regardless of the creature’s Intelligence score.
Immunity to any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects or is harmless).
Not at risk of death from massive damage, but is immediately destroyed when reduced to 0 hit points.
Not affected by raise spells or abilities.
Proficient with its natural weapons, all simple weapons, and any weapons mentioned in its entry.

Undead creatures are powered by dark energy, thus lack a soul. Remember this when considering any spells or effects which reference “souls.”

Five Things Almost Everyone Knows About Undead

The following are a few facts that are considered common knowledge among civilized peoples.

Most undead were once living. Knowing details about the phase of existence that preceded a creature’s undeath is often invaluable in determining its motives.
Holy water damages undead as though it were acid. Distributed by goodly religious orders the world over, holy water is the only line of defense against undead for many commoners.
Undead are invariably evil, unless created through means that are not evil or have the ability to affect their disposition.
Undead are healed by dark energy and harmed by light energy.
Undead are immune to numerous magical effects, including mind-affecting effects and abilities that affect a creature’s physical constitution.

Subtypes

Some creatures have one or more subtypes. Subtypes add additional abilities and qualities to a creature.

Aquatic Subtype

These creatures always have swim speeds and can move in water without making Swim checks. An aquatic creature can breathe water. It cannot breathe air unless it has the amphibious special quality. Aquatic creatures always treat Swim as a class skill. They usually have a vulnerability to lightning and resistance/immunity to water.

Archfiend Subtype

Archfiends are fantastic creatures with many exceptions to whatever their type may be. Archfiends possess a particular suite of traits (unless otherwise noted in a creature’s entry) as summarized here.

d12 HD, with maximized dice.
Fast BAB progression.
Good Fortitude, Reflex, and Will saves.
8 + Intelligence modifier skill points per level.
Archfiends do not need to otherwise follow restrictions as governed by their type; an outsider with the archfiend subtype may, for example, possess undead traits, or require Knowledge (arcana) checks for a Blue Mage to learn its abilities, even though the archfiend is an outsider.

Avian Subtype

These bird like creatures usually have fly speeds and can move in the air without making Fly checks. Avian creatures always treat Fly as a class skill. They usually have a vulnerability to wind and resistance/immunity to earth.

Bomb Subtype

A Bomb is a being often composed of the elements or even pure arcane energy itself that possesses inherent levitation and explosive qualities. They are distinctly related to the elementals.

A Bomb has the following features:

Immunity to bleed, paralysis, poison, and sleep effects.
Because it has a somewhat shifting anatomy, it has light fortification (25% chance to negate) against critical hits and sneak attack.
Proficient with natural weapons only.
Bombs do not breathe, eat, or sleep.
Possesses the Float special ability, and Self-Destruct Extraordinary Ability (See Below).

Float (Su) Every bomb has the Float (always floating 5 feet into the air) status effect continuously unless unconscious or dead. This effect cannot be dispelled.

Self-Destruct (Ex) After each successful physical attack made against a bomb, the bomb increases in size by 1-ft. in diameter (the bomb increases Strength by 2 per physical attack, size increase lasts for 1d6+4 rounds); after the 3rd successful physical attack or reaches 0 HP due to a physical attack, the bomb explodes as an immediate action when reaching its closest target within range, destroying itself and dealing HDd6 points of elemental and/or physical damage to everything within a 15-ft.-radius burst (Reflex save DC is equal to ½ HD + CON modifier). At 10HD, this becomes a 30 ft. radius burst. At 20HD, this becomes a 60 ft. radius burst.

Boss Subtype

Bosses are tough, difficult, and royally demanding. All bosses have a ‘Limit Break’ called Burst Modes. These Burst Modes will increase themselves drastically and the GM can choose to have these in if they choose so. All bosses have higher stats, resistances, and saves than your average creature of that CR so beware when you decide to choose one of these creatures as your opponent.

A Burst Mode is an ability available to particularly dangerous monsters that functions much like a Limit Break, granting them a boost in power to turn the tide of battle. Creatures with a Burst Mode can activate it as a swift action, but only when at 50% health or less. They may activate their Burst Mode only once per battle, and may use it once per day, with an additional use for every four HD of the creature.

This subtype is part of the boss family tree and can be added onto any creature which gains the following traits:

HP with maximized dice with double health.
Fast BAB progression.
Good Fortitude, Reflex, and Will saves.
Absorb, Immunity, or Resist to one element by 50%. (For most cases)
Immunity to Banish, Daze, Gravity effects (reducing health by percentages or extremely low digits), Frog, Mini, Disable, Death, Paralyzed, Sleep, Stop, Stun, and Petrification/Statue status effects.
Cannot be summoned.
Triple treasure plus more listed below:

Experience Bonus to CR	-	+ 0.5 CR	+ 1 CR	+1.5 CR	+2 CR	+3 CR

Cie’th Subtype

When a fal’Cie takes a mortal to be one of its l’Cie servants, that person is given a Focus to be completed. Should the l’Cie fail to fulfill this Focus before his or her brand advances to its final stage, that l’Cie becomes a Cie’th.

Mired in eternal sorrow and regret, and robbed of all free will, Cie’th are damned to wander the world unliving and undying, until their corrupted flesh at last can move no more. For Cie’th, there is no salvation.

The Cie’th are the non-sentient remains of a former l’Cie. They move on instinct and are hostile toward living beings, including their former friends, which makes them widely feared as they can wield magic. This is specially true to the Undying, a group of Cie’th whose hatred towards their former fal’Cie masters has made them all the more dangerous.

Only when they turn into Cie’th Stones do the Cie’th show some of their former humanity, mostly their regret of failing their Focus and asking somebody to complete it in their stead so they can rest in peace.

When chosen by the fal’Cie, a l’Cie is marked with an incomplete brand, a tattoo-like inscription. The brand completes over time, working as a timer for the l’Cie to complete their Focus, a mission dictated by the fal’Cie that branded them. Should the l’Cie fail, or the time runs out, the l’Cie loses their humanity and crystals cover and twist their body. Their heart is sealed in endless despair, a fate more torturous than death.

It is said the rate at which a l’Cie becomes a Cie’th depends on their psychological state: the more panicked and distressed, the faster they will turn. As time runs out the l’Cie brand sprouts arrows and eventually an eye, and when the eye is fully opened, the l’Cie is transformed. It appears that some l’Cie can partially transform into Cie’th willingly, taking on Cie’th-like qualities and sometimes keeping their minds. This mode of transformation can be reversed with help from an outside agency. Fal’Cie can transform humans instantaneously into Cie’th by branding them without assigning them a Focus.

It is possible for Cie’th to still complete their Focus. Over the course of years, the energy of a Cie’th may dry out, and they turn into a crystalline tombstone, unable to move about but gaining the ability to communicate and ask others to complete their Focus for them. These Cie’th Stones are found in abundance throughout Gran Pulse.

Cie’th are outsiders who live on the Material Plane.

Cie’th possess a particular suite of traits (unless otherwise noted in a creature’s entry) as summarized here.

Immunity to mind-affecting effects.
Damage reduction 5/adamantine or crystal.
Spell resistance 11 + CR.
Unlike other native outsiders, Cie’th have no need to eat, drink, or breathe.
Unlike other outsiders, all Cie’th (save the Undying) are mortal in some sense, although they are still immune to aging effects.
Power of Hate: All Cie’th that have a caster level use their Wisdom score to determine the effects and DCs of their spells, their MP, and how high of a level they can cast, regardless of what spellcaster they are drawing spells or MP from.

Extraplanar Subtype

This subtype is applied to any creature when it is on a plane other than its native plane. A creature that travels the planes can gain or lose this subtype as it goes from plane to plane. Monster entries assume that encounters with creatures take place on the Material Plane, and every creature whose native plane is not the Material Plane has the extraplanar subtype (but would not have it when on its home plane). Every extraplanar creature in this book has a home plane mentioned in its description. creatures not labeled as extraplanar are natives of the Material Plane, and they gain the extraplanar subtype if they leave the Material Plane. No creature has the extraplanar subtype when it is on a transitive plane, such as the Astral Plane, the Ethereal Plane, or the Plane of Shadow.

Living Construct Subtype

Living constructs are special subtype that can apply to either humanoids or constructs. Living constructs are universally intelligent, if not necessarily very smart. Likewise, they are universally capable of change over time. Regardless of whether this subtype is applied to either humanoids or constructs, they all have the following abilities.

All living construct gain the following traits.

Unlike constructs, living constructs have a Constitution score. They do not get the bonus hit points due to their size, like normal constructs. Living constructs do not die until they are at negative hit points equal to their Constitution score, but are subject to the same rules for negative hit points as other humanoid creatures.
All living constructs have an Intelligence score of at least 1 and thus have skill ranks and feats as appropriate for their Hit Dice.
Dying living constructs have a +2 racial bonus to stabilization checks.
Like constructs, living constructs are immune to sleep and paralysis effects.
Unlike constructs, living constructs are not immune to disease, death effects, energy drain, exhaustion, fatigue, mind-affecting, nausea, poison, stunning, sickened, and zombie effects, but they do get a +2 racial bonus to saving throws to resist them.
Unlike constructs, living constructs are not immune to ability damage, ability drain, bleed, necromancy effects (see below), negative levels, non-lethal damage, effects that require a Fortitude save or death from massive damage.
Living constructs do not need to eat, breath or sleep, but those with abilities that require rest, like spellcasting, still require 8 hours in a relaxed state to regain them.
Spells from the healing school are only half effective on living constructs, rounded down.
Like constructs, living constructs do not heal naturally, but can be repaired using an appropriate Craft skill (like armorsmithing, blacksmithing, gemcutting or sculpting). Each check takes 8 hours and the number of hit points regained is equal to the result of the Craft check -15.
Living constructs can be raised, reincarnated and resurrected. They cannot be reanimated as undead or deathless unless specifically stated otherwise.
Living constructs do not get low-light vision or darkvision, unless stated otherwise.
Regardless of whether the creature type is either humanoid or construct, those with the living construct subtype count as both humanoids (of the living construct subtype) and constructs for extraordinary abilities, supernatural abilities, spell-like effects, psi-like effects, feats, spells and psionic powers. This includes spells, like Repair Light Damage, special weapon qualities, like Bane (construct), and class abilities, like favored enemy (construct). If there a situation where the same effect would affect humanoids and constructs differently, like Charm Person, assume that the effect does apply and in the most severe applicable manner.

Machina Subtype

Although some people call them things like “automatons,” “metal men,” or the like, these technological creations are all machinas, and as such, they share similar traits. Machina share some features with clockwork constructs, and as with clockworks, you can simply remove the machina subtype from a machina (along with its attendant traits) to transform it into a typical construct animated by magic.

Likewise, you can add the machina subtype (and traits) to any existing construct to transform it into something created by technology. Adding the machina subtype to a construct does not affect its CR. A single construct cannot possess both the machina and the clockwork subtype.

All machinas gain the following traits.

Machina Subtype: The construct gains the “machina” subtype.
Intelligent: Machina are intelligent, and thus have skills and feats as appropriate for their Hit Dice. Unless otherwise indicated for a specific machina, all machinas have Intelligence scores of 10. The following are class skills for machinas: Climb, Disable Device, Fly, Knowledge (all), Linguistics, Perception, and Sense Motive.
Force Field: Most machina gain a force field is sheathed in a thin layer of shimmering energy that grants it (HD x 5) bonus hit points. All damage dealt to that creature with an active force field is reduced from these hit points first. As long as the force field is active, the creature is immune to critical hits, but not precision damage. The creature’s force field has fast healing equal to HD, but once its hit points are reduced to 0, the force field shuts down and does not reactivate for 24 hours. However DR, hardness, resistances, weaknesses, absorption, and immunities don’t affect the force field.
Integrated Weaponry: Some machina that have a technological weapon (such as a laser rifle or chain gun) built into its body treats such weapons as natural attacks and not manufactured weapons attacks, and cannot make iterative attacks with these weapons. Integrated weaponry can still be targeted by effects that target manufactured weapons (such as magic weapon spells or sunder attempts), but as a general rule cannot be harvested for use outside of the robot’s body once the robot is destroyed. A robot is always proficient with its integrated weapons. Integrated ranged weapons do not provoke attacks of opportunity when fired in melee combat.
Vulnerable to Critical Hits: Whenever a machina takes extra damage from a critical hit, it must make a DC 12 Fortitude save to avoid being stunned for 1 round. If it makes the saving throw, it is instead staggered for 1 round.
Vulnerable to Lightning: Machinas take 150% as much damage as normal from lightning attacks, unless they are immune to lightning via other special defenses.
Vulnerable to Steal Maneuvers: Machina can be damaged by the Steal combat maneuver, taking damage equal to however much the steal check beats the machina’s CMD. If this check kills the machina, the thief steals a frag grenade unless otherwise noted.
Difficult to Create: Increase the time and gp cost required to create a machina by 50% over normal for a construct, unless the creator has access to a significant amount of technological resources.

Mini-Boss Subtype

Mini-Bosses are tougher then usual creatures who can take much more of a beating and dish out more damage. This subtype is part of the boss family tree and can be added onto any creature which gains the following traits:

Absorb, Immunity, or Resist to one element by 50%. (For most cases)
Has a DR or/and SR.
At least two stats at +6 higher than average.
Immunity and resistance to multiple elements and status effect.
Triple treasure unless it states otherwise.
Cannot be summoned.

Native Subtype

This subtype is applied only to outsiders. These creatures have mortal ancestors or a strong connection to the Material Plane and can be raised, reincarnated, or resurrected just as other living creatures can be. Creatures with this subtype are native to the Material Plane. Unlike true outsiders, native outsiders need to eat and sleep.

Primal Subtype

The primals, also known as eikons, are magical beings in Final Fantasy XIV worshiped by the beast races of Eorzea. Primals are normally a combination of a ritual or strong feelings with the magical forces of the world like mana or mist, and aren’t real deities. Primals possess a particular suite of traits (unless otherwise noted in a creature’s entry) as summarized here.

d12 HD, with maximized dice.
Good BAB progression.
Good Fortitude, Reflex, and Will saves.
SR of 15 + CR
Usually immune to one Element type and resistant to multiple element types.
Do not breathe, eat, or sleep.

Reptilian Subtype

These creatures are scaly and usually cold-blooded. The reptilian subtype is used to describe a set of humanoid races, however not all animals and monsters are true reptiles. Usually have a vulnerability to Ice and resistance/immunity to water.

Shadow Subtype

This subtype is usually used for outsiders with a connection to the Elemental Planes of Darkness. Creatures with the shadow subtype have see in darkness. A creature with the shadow subtype usually have immunity to shadow and vulnerability to holy.

Sin Eater Subtype

The first Sin Eater to appear on the First was Eden, a being of pure light whose power to shift the balance of aether in an area caused the Flood of Light. Minfilia Warde sacrificed herself to cease it from consuming Norvrandt by placing Eden in a deep sleep within a region of the global wasteland known as the Empty. The Sin Eaters created from those consumed in the Flood invaded Norvrandt while the stronger ones sired new Sin Eaters from their victims by planting seeds of Light and corrupting the aether of their bodies. Eventually, the most powerful Sin Eaters dubbed Lightwardens by the locals emerged, acting as the most powerful class of Sin Eater, existing in a small number and radiating aether to saturate every corner of their territory with Light. Lesser Sin Eaters were drawn to serve them and would dissipate once a Lightwarden was killed. However, once killed the essence of a Lightwarden transferred to the nearest living creature, ensuring their revival and rebirth from temporary death by making their host a new replacement Lightwarden.

Due to the Flood of Light, the Sin Eaters took foothold in Norvrandt’s regions due to the Lightwardens placing the land in perpetual light and being able to reconstitute themselves after their aether disbursts upon defeat. The Sin Eaters engaged in combat with the locales for years, slowly assimilating the populace and purging continents of sentient life.

Sin Eaters are outsiders who live on the Material Plane with celestial traits.

Traits: A sin eater possesses the following traits (unless otherwise noted in a creature’s entry).

Darkvision 60 feet and low-light vision.
Immunity to death effects, holy, mind-affecting effects, and petrification.
Resistance to lightning and fire 10.
Usually have Toughness and Iron Will as a feat.
Damage reduction 5/evil.
Spell resistance CR + 11.
Unlike other native outsiders, Sin Eaters have no need to breathe.

Super Boss Subtype

Super Bosses are the elite of boss types. All super bosses have multiple ‘Limit Break’ called Burst Modes. These Burst Modes will increase themselves drastically and the GM can choose to use these in if they choose so. All super bosses have massive stats, are immune/absorb most elemental types, and super high saves than your average creature of that CR so beware when you decide to choose one of these creatures as your opponent.

This subtype is part of the boss family and can be added onto any creature which gains the following traits:

d12 HD, with maximized dice all double with multiple lives or triple health with no extra lives.
Fast BAB progression.
Good Fortitude, Reflex, and Will saves.
Must have at least two Burst Modes.

Work in progress – Unsent Subtype –

This subtype is usually used for Humanoids or Monstrous Humanoids when an intelligent creature dies (Int > 3) in Spira, the spirit of that being travels to the Farplane to begin its immortal existence. Most of the time, these spirits need the help of a Summoner (or Cleric/White Mage), who performs a ritual called the Sending to help guide them to the afterlife. If a creature’s spirit is not sent, it will most likely remain in Spira as an “Unsent” creature. Unsent can succumb to malice & envy over time, becoming a monster, although some are able to exist in Spira & retain their sanity for years, even centuries, although these are exceptional characters, & far from the general rule.

An Unsent can be turned but at half the duration and can be only Sent by a Sending (a preform (dance) or knowledge (religion) skill check = HD + 10 + Charisma Mod to be released or willing for free)
An Unsent uses the BAB & saving throws scores that it would have if it were alive
An Unsent do not breathe, eat, or sleep but they can choose so but to regain abilities charges and MP they must mediate instead of sleeping for the same amount of time
An Unsent cannot age but can choose to look older or younger than they were in life.
Whenever an unsent is destroyed completely or partly, they must spend 24 hours in pyreflie form to regenerate back to their humanoid form. (8 hours for missing parts)
An Unsent has a weakness to holy elemental however this does not effect healing spells
Once per year, an Unsent must make a Will save (DC = # of years spent as an Unsent / Charisma bonus (minimum +1)); failure indicates that it becomes closer to becoming a monster. Once an Unsent fails three saves they become monsters immediately, however with every two successful saves removes one failed save. The monster is a creature with an equal Challenge Rating to the originals Unsent HD, but can be of nearly any type/subtype however no Construct, Fey, or Humanoid monsters. The specific creature is determined by the environment of where it was turned into a monster; only monsters native to that environment will be created there (Ice subtype fiends created only in arctic areas, for instance).

Water Subtype

This subtype is usually used for outsiders with a connection to the Elemental Planes of Water. Water creatures usually have a drench effect. Creatures with the water subtype always have swim speeds and can move in water without making Swim checks. A water creature can breathe underwater and can usually breathe air as well. Water creatures treat the Swim skill as a class skill. A creature with the water subtype usually have immunity to water, resist against fire by 50%, and vulnerability to lightning.

Wind Subtype

This subtype is usually used for outsiders with a connection to the Elemental Planes of Wind. Wind creatures always have fly speeds and usually have perfect maneuverability. Wind creatures treat Fly as a class skill. Wind creatures usually possess mist vision. A creature with the wind subtype usually have immunity to wind, resist against earth by 50%, and vulnerability to ice.

Templates

A template is a set of rules that you apply to a monster to transform it into a different monster. All templates give precise directions on how to change a monster’s statistics to transform it into the new monster.

Acquired Templates

This kind of template is added to a creature well after its birth or creation.

Some templates, like the lich, are the results of a creature’s choice and desire to transform. Others, like the ghost template, are the result of an external force acting upon a creature (for example, when a tormented person dies and becomes a ghost). Yet in both cases, the template changed a creature well after its birth or creation—these types are called “acquired templates,” and can be added to a creature at any time during its existence.

Inherited Templates

Some templates, such as the half-dragon and half-fiend templates, are part of a creature from the beginning of its existence. These types of templates are called “inherited templates.”

Creatures are born or created with these templates already in place, and have never known life without them.

Simple Templates

Simple templates can be applied during the game with minimal effort. This makes it easy, for example, to deal with celestial and fiendish creatures conjured in the heat of battle by summon monster spells.

All simple templates have two categories of changes.

The “quick rules” present a fast way to modify die rolls made in play to simulate the template’s effects without actually rebuilding the stat block—this method works great for summoned creatures.

The “rebuild rules” list the exact changes you make to the base stat block if you have the time to completely rebuild it—this method works best when you have time during game preparation to build full stat blocks. The two methods result in creatures of similar, if not identical, abilities.

Behemoth Blooded

“Behemoth Blooded” is an inherited template that can be added to any creature. A behemoth-blooded creature retains all the base creature’s statistics and special abilities except as noted here.

CR: HD 4 or less, as base creature +1; HD 5 to 10, as base creature +2; HD 11 or more, as base creature +3.

Size: If the base creature is Tiny or smaller, increase its size to Small. Otherwise, increase its size by one size category. The behemoth-blooded creature does not gain the benefits or penalties to ability scores that arise from increased size.

Type: The creature’s type changes to magical beast if it was previously an animal or vermin. Do not recalculate HD, BAB, or saves.

AC: Natural armor increases by +1 for HD 11 or more. If the base creature has no natural armor bonus, it gains a natural armor bonus of +3. This bonus stacks with the bonus gained from the increase in size.

Hit Dice: If the behemoth-blooded creature is Small, it has a number of Hit Dice equal to the base creature +1 (minimum of 2 HD). If the behemoth-blooded creature is Medium, it has a number of Hit Dice equal to the base creature +2 (minimum of 4 HD). If the behemoth-blooded creature is Large or larger it has a number of Hit Dice equal to base creature +4 (minimum of 8 HD). Recalculate base attack bonus and base saves according to the behemoth-blooded creature’s new Hit Dice total (base attack bonus equals ¾ Hit Dice, Fort and Ref equal ½ Hit Dice +2, Will equals 1/3 Hit Dice).

Speed: Same as the base creature +10 ft.

Attacks: Adjust damage dice of all natural attacks upwards to the behemoth-blooded creature’s new size according to the natural attack progression table.

Feats: Same as base creature, with additional feats gained through the usual means from the increase in HD. If the base creature has Weapon Finesse and the feat would become useless after its increase in Strength, then it may trade Weapon Finesse for Weapon Focus with one of its natural attacks. Behemoth-blooded also gain toughness as a bonus feat.

Skills: A behemoth-blooded creature gains skill points equal to 2 + Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) for each HD it gained. Its class skills are unchanged.

An esperkin can use this ability once per day, plus an additional time per five levels (so 2/day at 5th, 3/day at 10th, and so on). An esper creatures an alternate form, created using the eidolon rules from Pathfinder (but see below), using her character level as her effective Hit Dice for any and all abilities. The esper may dictate the appearance of her esper form, but once chosen, this cannot be changed. Upon entering the esper form, the esper’s ability scores and other abilities change to those of her esper form; while in esper form, she cannot access any of her normal abilities. This transformation lasts for 5 rounds. Any damage suffered while in these alternate forms is transferred to the esperkin after the transformation ends.

Abilities: Increase from the base creature as follows: -2 Con, +2 Int, +4 Cha. Esperkin are not physically hardy, but are intellectually quick, and often have a powerful and commanding presence.

Such spells are not cast at increased caster level and half of the damage dealt is water damage. A watery creature cannot cast spells or use spell-like abilities with the lightning descriptor.

Engulf (Ex)

Only 1 use every 5 HD, A watery creature can simply engulf one size category creatures in its path as a standard action. It cannot make an attack during a round in which it engulfs. The watery creature merely has to move over the opponents. The engulfed opponent can make a attack of opportunity against the creature, but if they do so they are not entitled to a saving throw. If they do not attempt a attack of opportunity, they can attempt a Reflex save to avoid being engulfed—on a successful save, they are pushed back or aside (opponent’s choice) as the watery creature moves forward. The engulfed creature is in danger of suffocating per round and must make a Fortitude save (DC 20), and are trapped within its body until they make a successful Reflex save. The save DC is Strength-based.

Poison Missile (Ex)

Only 1 use every 4 HD, As a swift action, a watery creature can launch a bolt of acid. Any creature struck by this bolt must also make a Fortitude save to avoid becoming nauseated for 1 round by the overwhelming stench of the poison. This attack has a range of 180 feet with no range increment. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Transparency (Ex)

When submerged, a watery creature is effectively invisible (DC 35 Perception check when near the surface only) until it attacks.

Liquid Form (Sp)

As a standard action, a watery creature can turn into a mobile pool of water. This functions like gaseous form, except that the watery creature cannot fly in this form. It retains its own base speed, and its swim speed doubles to 120 feet. The watery creature can end this ability as a standard action.

Windy Creature

“Windy” is an inherited template that can be applied to any creature (referred to hereafter as the base creature). A windy creature uses all the base creature’s statistics and special abilities except as noted here.

CR: 5 HD to 10 HD, as base creature +1; 11 HD to 16 HD, as base creature +2; 17 HD or more, as base creature +3.

Type: The windy creature type gains the wind subtype. If the base creature has the earth subtype, it loses it.

Aura: A windy creature may gain the following:

Stormy Aura (Su) [Must have 4 HD]

A windy creature emits supernatural tornado in a 10-foot radius around it. All those within the area of effect take 1d6 wind damage plus an additional 1d6 wind damage for every 5 racial HD the base creature has. A windy creature can suppress or resume the use of this ability as a free action.

Senses gains the following:

Improved Blindsight (Ex)

A windy creature can see using sound, even while within a solid object. This ability allows it to discern objects and creatures within 60 feet regardless of terrain or barriers that would normally impede vision. Unlike normal blindsight, a windy creature does not need line of effect to a creature or object to discern that creature or object. A silence spell negates this ability and forces the windy creature to rely on the base creature’s vision. This ability replaces blindsight. If the base creature has blindsight, the range for improved blindsight increases by the range of the base creature’s blindsight ability.

Defensive Abilities: A windy creature gains DR and Wind Resistance as noted on the table below.

Weakness: A windy creature gains weakness to ice.

Speed: The windy creature loses all the base creature’s speeds and gains a fly speed equal to double the base creature’s highest speed, with perfect maneuverability (depending on creature size).

Attacks: All of the base creature’s natural weapons and metal weapons gain wind damage on the table below:

Hit Dice	DR	Wind Damage	Resist Wind
1 to 2	–	1	5
3 to 4	–	1d4	5
5 to 6	3/-	1d6	10
7 to 8	3/-	1d8	10
9 to 10	5/-	1d10	15
11 to 12	5/-	2d6	15
13 to 14	7/-	2d6	20
15 to 16	7/-	2d6	20
17 to 18	10/-	2d8	Immune
19 to 20	10/-	2d8	Immune

Special Attacks and Qualities: A windy creature may gain the following attacks for every 4 HD or fraction thereof:

Air Trample (Ex)

Only gain 1 use every 5 HD, The windy creature may cause wind damage to creatures and objects simply by passing through them. As a full-round action, the windy creature can move up to twice its speed in a straight line. Any creature it moves through can attempt either a Reflex save for half damage or an attack of opportunity. An unattended, non-magical object receives no save. No creature or object can be damaged twice in a round by this attack. Windy creatures do not damage creatures or objects they move through when not using this ability; the creature has to actually intend to cause damage. The damage dealt by this attack is based on size and is equal to that of a slam attack as if the creature was two size categories higher +1-1/2 times the windy creature’s Dexterity modifier. If the base creature has a trample attack, use that attack’s damage, but modified by Dexterity not Strength. The save DCs are Dexterity-based.

Air Spellcasting (Su)

A windy creature casts all spells and spell-like abilities with the wind descriptor at one caster level higher. A windy creature can add the wind descriptor to any damaging spell. Such spells are not cast at increased caster level and half of the damage dealt is wind damage. A windy creature cannot cast spells or use spell-like abilities with the ice descriptor.

Wind Blast (Ex)

Only gain 1 use every 4 HD, A windy creature attacks using the air surrounding it, transforming it into a forceful blast that deals wind damage as a slam attack of a creature one size category lower to all creatures within 50 feet. The wind walker makes a single attack roll at its full attack bonus against each opponent within reach as a standard action.

Wounding Sound (Ex)

Only gain 1 use every 4 HD, When the windy creature is wounded, its body involuntarily makes a thunderous report. Anyone within 30 feet of a windy creature when it is wounded must make a Fortitude save or take 1d6 points of wind damage, be stunned for 1 round, and be permanently deafened by the sudden sound blast. A creature that cannot hear or one that makes its save is not deafened or stunned, but it still takes 1d6 points of wind damage on a failed save. Any unattended object in the area automatically takes 1d6 points of wind damage each time the windy creature makes a wounding sound. The save is Constitution-based.

Wind Body (Ex)

A windy creature’s body shears all its touches or that touches it. Anyone striking a windy creature with natural or manufactured melee weapons takes 1d6 wind damage. If the base creature has a similar ability this ability replaces that one but the damage from the two abilities stack.

Insubstantial Form (Ex)

A windy creature cannot run, wear armor, or enter water or other liquids. It can pass through holes and small openings—even cracks. It can also occupy spaces occupied by its enemies. (This ability is similar to a gaseous form spell—note the windy creature is not subject to wind effects like the gaseous form spell.) Any piercing or slashing attack against a windy creature has a 20% miss chance. Bludgeoning attacks deal damage normally.

Undead Templates

Mummy Creature

“Mummified creature” is an acquired template that can be added to any living corporeal creature (hereafter referred to as the base creature). A mummified creature uses all of the base creature’s statistics except as noted here.

CR: 9 HD or less, as base creature +1; 10 HD or more, as base creature +2.

Alignment: Any evil.

Type: The creature’s type changes to undead (augmented). It retains any other subtypes as well, except for alignment subtypes and subtypes that indicate kind. Do not recalculate class HD, BAB, saves, or skill points.

Senses: A mummified creature gains darkvision 60 feet.

Aura: A mummified creature gains a frightful presence aura with a range of 30 feet and a duration of 1d6 rounds.

Armor Class: Natural armor improves by +4.

Hit Dice: Change all racial Hit Dice to d8s. Class Hit Dice are unaffected. As an undead, a mummified creature uses its Charisma modifier to determine bonus hit points (instead of Constitution).

Defensive Abilities: A mummified creature gains DR 5/— and the defensive abilities granted by the undead type.

Weaknesses: The mummification process leaves a mummified creature vulnerable to a single energy type. Choose or determine randomly from the following list with a 1d8:

1 – Lightning

2 – Fire

3 – Water

4 – Ice

5 – Earth

6 – Wind

7 – Holy

8 – Reroll

As a fail-safe in case of rebellion, a mummified creature is subtly marked during the ritual process with a hieroglyph someplace inconspicuous on its body or wrappings that identifies the particular energy type to which it is vulnerable. A successful DC 20 Perception check is needed to find the mark, but a successful DC 25 Linguistics check is still required to decipher the hieroglyph’s meaning.

Speed: Decrease all speeds by 10 feet (to a minimum of 5 feet). If the base creature has a flight speed, its maneuverability changes to clumsy.

Attacks: The mummification process hardens the mummified creature’s bones to a stone-like density, granting the mummified creature a powerful slam attack if the base creature has no other natural attacks. This slam attack deals damage based on the mummified creature’s size, treating the creature as if it were one size category larger.

Special Attacks: A mummified creature gains the following abilities for every 6 HD or fraction thereof.

Burst of Vengeance (Su)

Only gain 1 use every 4 HD, Despite its slow, lumbering nature, a mummified creature is capable of lurching forward to attack with a short but surprising explosion of speed. Twice per day as a swift action, a mummified creature may act as if affected by a haste spell for 1 round.

Danse Macabre (Su) [Must have a HD of 14 or higher]

Only gain 1 use every 8 HD, A mummy waves his hands about which spreads a dark purple wave of blight within a 30-ft.-radius. Creatures within the area of effect must make a Fortitude save or be inflicted with Zombie status for 1 round per HD it has. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 7th level spell (Knowledge: Religion DC 29).

Mummy Rot (Su)

Curse and disease – slam; save Fort; onset 1 minute; frequency 1/day; effect 1d6 Con and 1d6 Cha; cure -.

Mummy rot is both a curse and disease and can only be cured if the curse is first removed, at which point the disease can be magically removed. Even after the curse element of mummy rot is lifted, a creature suffering from it cannot recover naturally over time. Anyone casting any healing spells on the afflicted creature must succeed on a DC 19 caster level check, or the spell is wasted and the healing has no effect. Anyone who dies from mummy rot turns to dust and cannot be raised without an Arise or greater magic. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Sandstorm Wrath (Su) [Must have a HD of 10 or higher]

Only gain 1 use every 6 HD and as a standard action, a mummy can exhale a blast of superheated sand in a 40-foot cone. The blast deals 10d8 points of fire and slashing damage and are blinded for 2d4 rounds. A successful Reflex save halves this damage and negates the Blind status.

Abilities: Str +4, Int –2 (minimum 1). As an undead creature, a mummified creature has no Constitution score.

Feats: A mummified creature gains Toughness as a bonus feat, and Improved Natural Attack as a bonus feat for each of the base creature’s natural attacks.

Skills: A mummified creature gains a +4 racial bonus on Stealth checks.
