3e SRD:Fiendish Creatures
Fiendish Creatures
"Fiendish" is a template that can be added to any corporeal creature of nongood alignment (referred to hereafter as the "base creature"). Beasts or animals with this template become magical beasts, but otherwise the creature type is unchanged. A fiendish creature uses all the base creature’s statistics and special abilities except as noted here.
Special Attacks: A fiendish creature retains all the special attacks of the base creature and also gains the following.
Smite Good (Su): Once per day the creature can make a normal attack to deal additional damage equal to its HD total (maximum of +20) against a good foe.
Special Qualities: A fiendish creature retains all the special qualities of the base creature and also gains the following.
Darkvision with a range of 60 feet.
Cold and fire resistance (see the table below).
Damage reduction (see the table below).
SR equal to double the creature’s HD (maximum 25).
Hit Dice | Cold, Fire Resistance | Damage Reduction |
---|---|---|
1–3 | 5 | — |
4–7 | 10 | 5/+1 |
8–11 | 15 | 5/+2 |
12+ | 20 | 10/+3 |
If the base creature already has one or more of these special qualities, use the better value.
