Using This Manual

This guidelines presented in this document are meant to aid dungeon masters in creating their own unique monsters. These guidelines should not be taken as a one size fits all rule book; every game is different and so requires different monsters.

This power is useless against constructs, elementals, oozes, plants and undead. Foes with multiple heads must have each head affected in order to be 5

killed or controlled. Improved Grab (Ex; CR 1): A mind flayer that hits an opponent with a tentacle attack can attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If the mind flayer wins a grapple check, one of its tentacles attaches to the opponents head. If a mind flayer begins its turn with at least one tentacle attached, it can try to attach its remaining tentacles with a single grapple check.

Mind Blast (Sp; CR 1): This attack is a cone 10 feet long per CR. Anyone caught in this cone must succeed on a Will save or be stunned for 5 rounds. The save DC is Charismabased.

True Dragon Special Attacks Breath Weapon (Su; CR 1): Each dragons breath weapon takes the form of either a cone or a line and deals damage of a certain type: either acid, cold, electricity or fire. Using a breath weapon is a standard action and deals 1d6 damage per CR. Once a dragon breaths, it cant breathe again until 3 rounds later. A blast brom a breath weapon always starts at any intersection adjacent to the dragon and extends in a direction of the dragons choice. Creatures caught in the area can attempt Reflex saves to take half damage. The save is Constitution-based. Crush (Ex; Huge size): This special attack allows a flying or jumping dragon to land on opponents 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 though it can attempt normal overrun or grapple attacks agianst larger opponents). A crush attack affects as many creatures as can fit under the dragons body. Creatures in the affected area must succeed on a Reflex save 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, treat it as a normal grapple attack. Pinned opponents take damage from the crush each round if they dont escape. A crush attack deals bite damage plus 1-1/2 times the dragons Strength bonus. The save DC is Constitutionbased. Frightful Presence (Ex; CR 9): This special attack allows a dragon to unsettle foes with its mere presence. The ability takes effect automatically whenever the dragon attacks, charges or flies overhead. Creatures within a radius of 15 feet per CR are subject to the effect if they have fewer HD than the dragon. A potentially affected creature that succeeds on a Will save remains immune to that dragons frightful presence for 24 hours. On a failure, creatures with 4 or less HD become panicked for 4d6 rounds and those with 5 or more HD become shaken for 4d6 rounds. Dragons ignore the frightful presence of other dragons. The save DC is Charisma-based. Spell-like Abilities (Sp; CR 9): Caster Level = CR - 8. A dragon gains two spell-like abilities at each CR after 8. These spell-like abilities can be drawn from any spell list, but should generally reflect the dragons alignment and natural habitat. Highest Level -- 1/ day; Second Highest Level -- 2/day; Third Highest Level -- 3/day; Lower Levels -- at 11

will. The save DCs are Charisma-based. Tail Sweep (Ex; Gargantuan size): This special attack allows a dragon to sweep with its tail as a standard action. The sweep affects a half-circle with a radius of 30 feet (for a Gargantuan dragon) or 40 feet (for a Colossal dragon), extending from an intersection on the edge of the dragons 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 claw damage plus 1-1/2 times the dragons Strength bonus. Affected creatures can attempt Reflex saves to take half damage. The save DC is Constitutionbased. True Dragon Special Qualities Alternate Form (Su; CR 9): This special ability allows a dragon to assume any animal, humanoid or vermin form as a standard action three times per day. This form may not have a CR more than 8 less than the dragons CR. This ability functions as the polymorph spell cast on itself at its caster level, except that the dragon does not regain hit points for changing form and can only assume the form of an animal or humanoid. The dragon can remain in its animal or humanoid form until it chooses to assume a new one or return to its natural form. Blindsense (Ex; CR 1): Dragons can pinpoint creatures within a distance of 60 feet. Opponents which the dragon cant actually see still have total concealment against the dragon. Damage Reduction (Su; CR 9): CR Damage Reduction 1-8 None 9-16 5/magic 17-24 10/magic 25-28 15/magic 29-32 15/epic 33-40 20/epic Immunity (Ex; CR 1): A dragon is immune to the same type of energy which its breath weapon is. Keen Senses (Ex; CR 1): A dragon sees four times as well as a human in shadowy illumination and twice as well in normal light. It also has darkvision out to 120 feet.

Air Elemental Special Attacks Air Mastery (Ex; CR 1): Airborne creatures take a -1 penalty on attack and damage rolls against an air elemental. Whirlwind (Su; CR 1): The elemental can transform itself into a whirlwind once every 10 minutes and remain in that form for up to 1 round for every 2 HD it has. In this form, the elemental can move through the air or along a surface at its fly speed. The whirlwind is 5 feet wide at the base, up to 30 feet wide at the top, and up to 70 feet tall, depending on the elementals size. The elemental controls the exact height, but it must be at least 10 feet. The elementals movement while in whirlwind form does not provoke attacks of opportunity, even if the elemental enters the space another creature occupies. Another creature might be caught in the whirlwind if it touches or enters the whirlwind, or if the elemental moves into or through the creatures space. Creatures one or more size categories smaller than the elemental might take damage when caught in the whirlwind (see Damage and Speed, below) and may be lifted into the air. An affected creature must succeed on a Reflex save when it comes into contact with the whirlwind or take the indicated damage. It must also succeed on a second Reflex save or be picked up bodily and held suspended in the powerful winds, automatically taking the indicated damage each round. A creature that can fly is allowed a Reflex save each round to escape the whirlwind. The creature still takes damage but can leave if the save is successful. The save DC is Strength-based. Creatures trapped in the whirlwind cannot move except to go where the elemental carries them or to escape the whirlwind. Creatures caught in the whirlwind can otherwise act normally, but must succeed on a Concentration check (DC 15 + Spell Level) to cast a spell. Creatures caught in the whirlwind take a -4 penalty to Dexterity and a -2 penalty on attack rolls. The elemental can have only as many creatures trapped inside the whirlwind at one time as will fit inside the whirlwinds volume. The elemental can eject any carried creatures whenever it wishes, depositing them wherever the whirlwind happens to be. A summoned elemental always ejects rapped creatures before returning to its home plane. If the whirlwinds base touches the ground, it creates a swirling cloud of debris. This cloud is centered on the elemental and has a diameter equal to half the whirlwinds height. The cloud obscures all vision, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. Creatures 5 feet away have concealment, while those farther away have total concealment. Those caught in the 14

cloud must succeed on a Concentration check as if casting defensively in order to cast a spell. An elemental in whirlwind form cannot make slam attacks and does not threaten the area around it.

Hill Giant Special Attacks Rock Throwing (Ex; CR 1): This special ability allows a giant to hurl rocks up to five range increments. At most, a giant can hurl a rock two size categories smaller than itself. Hill Giant Special Qualities Rock Catching (Ex; CR 1): This special quality allows a giant to catch rocks (or projectiles of similar shape) of equal or smaller size category. Once per round, a giant that would normally be hit by a rock can make a Reflex save to catch it as a free action. The DC depends on the rocks size (see table below). (If the projectile provides a magical bonus on attack rolls, the DC increases by that amount.) The giant must be ready and aware of the attack in order to make a rock catching attempt.
