Giant template

[Doomboy911]

I heard there was a template for making normal animals massive but I don't own monster manual 3 from 3.5 does anyone know what the template is?

Well I only have the first monster manual that's why I was wondering what the template was.

It makes the creature gargantuan, and increases its hit dice to 25. I don't know how much I can say due to forum rules, but if you increased its abilities roughly in line with the chart in the monster manual I pg 291, you could have about the same thing.

There's also the giant template from the Pathfinder SRD, just drop the CMB/CMD stuff.

One option would simply be to advance the creature by adding enough Hit Dice to grant it one (or more) size changes.

Another option might be to yank some of the "simple" templates from Pathfinder and use them. In particular, you'd want to look at the "giant" creature simple template. You can find all the simple templates (and some other pieces of the PF rules) here (http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/monsters/monsterAdvancement.html).

The Immortal's Handbook has templates for advancing anything between 1 and 10 size categories; but the rest of the forum will eat you if you buy it.

I'm not familiar with that source. Who's the publisher?

edit: nevermind, I found it. Looks like it's put out by Eternity Publishing.
