Template of Horrors
Added 2015-10-06 16:08:26 +0000 UTCOur Halloween month continues - and we also celebrate our 40th article! - with four horrific templates which can be applied to any creature! Use the zombie, wight, skeleton, and banshee templates to create horrors such as a Wailing Hermit (a banshee ettin), a Rust Monster Skeleton, a Crypt Stalker (a minotaur wight), or a Basilisk Zombie! By Cedar Collins; illustrated by Jacob Blackmon.

2018-07-07 17:11:27 +0000 UTCThese are fantastic templates. I recently rolled up Skellys with PC levels to add more fun to the undead. These will come in handy as well. Actually I'm going to be running the Sunless Citadel in 5e. I think those baddies at the end could use a layer of fun from this template. :)

2016-06-28 17:21:27 +0000 UTCWe can't copy WotC's stat blocks over, I'm afraid. That would be an IP violation. All of EN5ider is 100% original content.

2015-11-27 22:34:42 +0000 UTCThe best method would be to check the new stats against the table in the GM's core book. Higher-challenge monsters are affected much less by templates than lower-challenge ones. As an estimate, I'd say zombies are +0 CR, wights are +1 CR, skeletons are –1 CR, and banshees are +1 CR.

2015-10-07 21:44:16 +0000 UTCThese are pretty solid. Bringing back an enemy from early in the campaign as a wight could serve as a fun call back, or to allow machinations to move forward that would have otherwise been stalled by their death. Any suggestions on how these templates would alter base CR?
