New slaad stuff: templates, charts, soon to be more!

[inuyasha]

Red slaad
Red slaad, the weakest of the slaad race, but one of the most important, they are used as spies, infiltrators, cannon fodder, and most importantly, they help the slaad reproduce, well when a red slaad implants an egg, the host transforms into a red slaad. But shouldnt this red slaad have abilities like that of its host? Absolutely!
Red slaad template
Red slaad is a template that can be added to any living creature other than a plant, ooze, or elemental.
Size/type: Increase size by one catagory, change type to outsider (Chaotic)
Hit dice: change to D8
AC: Increase from new dexterity, add +6 natural armor
Attacks: keep those of the base creature, and add two secondary claws and a primary bite, keep the damage of the base creature if better
Damage: for a large sized slaad: bite 2d8 claw 1d4 and implant
Special attacks: Keep those of the base creature and gain the ones below
Implant (Ex)
A red slaad that hits with a claw attack can inject an egg pellet into the opponents body. The affected creature must succeed a constitution based fortitude save to avoid implantation. Often the slaad implants an unconscious or otherwise helpless creature (which gets no saving throw). The egg gestates for one week before hatching into a blue slaad that eats its way out, killing the host. Twenty four hours before the egg fully matures, the victim falls extremely ill (-10 to all ability scores). A remove disease spell rids a victim of the pellet, as does a successful heal check (DC 20) by someone with the skill. If the check fails, the healer can try again, but each such attempt (successful or not) deals 1d4 points of damage to the patient. If the host is an arcane spellcaster, the egg pellet instead hatches into a green slaad.

Stunning croak (Su)
Once per day a red slaad can emit a loud croak. Every creature within 20ft must succeed a constitution based fortitude save or be stunned for 1d3 rounds.

Pounce (Ex)
If a red slaad leaps upon a foe during the first round of combat, it can make a full attack even if it has already taken a move action.

The bite of a blue slaad can cause a horrible transformation. Afflicted creatures must succeed a constitution based fortitude save or be infected with a disease that transforms the victim over the next week into a red slaad. The infected creature can attempt a new save each day to through off the disease. If an infected being is an arcane spellcaster, the disease instead transforms them into a green slaad

NOTE DONT LOOK YET! ITS NOWHERE CLOSE TO BEING FINISHED! but so far it does have some nice fluuffff :3

Slaad lord template
Slaad lords, the ultimate rulers of limbo, they bow down to no one, for they shape the very universe. Sages have always thought elementals were the pure elements and building blocks of the universe, they were right, but who was the builder? That queston has one answer, the slaad lords have created an entropic universe around them, constantly changing every day, they created the fabric of the planes simply by putting together bricks and peices and chunks of universal matter. Recently however, law has begun to change things, or rather stop most change, keeping chaos under control, letting things change very little, as opposed to the shifting mass of materials the worlds once were. They allow time to pass, grass to grow, people to age, but not to spontaneously crumble to dust in a day from what appears to be old age, nor can a lawn grow into a jungle in a mere hour. Places where law is absent, such as the abyss, limbo, or pandemonium, this is very possible, and happens quite often. Now in addition to keeping the planes in working condition, law has also reduced the chaos lords, weakening them as well, they are still strong by mortal standards, but nowhere near as close to the godlike state they once were in. Just like how they once were however, (but not quite) slaad lords come in many forms, mimicking creatures they themselves created, but since law diminished their powers, they almost appear as mockeries of whatever they take the form of, being distorted, gelatinous, gibbering, mutated versions of what they try to become.

http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92837

[inuyasha]

hmm yeah its pretty awesome, it accomplishes the same thing I was trying to do: make MM slaad less lame XD

[Arcanist]

You have my interest. Proceed :smallcool:

[inuyasha]

I dont quite know what I want to proceed with though...I want to make so many things! Im thinking new slaad types, spells, PrCs, Races, maybe a slaad relative native to the material plane! I just dont know, so what would yall like to see first

[umbrapolaris]

White and black slaad, Epic level handbook

[inuyasha]

Oh yea I totally forgot about grey death white and black slaad templates :O thank you for the reminder bro!

[Arcanist]

To quote Afroakuma, I believe there are rainbowtriange%fries#@%^&bacon^potato Slaad Lords :smallsmile:

[inuyasha]

o...k then I think I will make a few and I might be able to do it with the abomination construction rules >:D

[Arcanist]

Lol... There are an immeasurable number of Slaad Lords/Ladies so just make the template and be done with it :smalltongue:

[inuyasha]

a template huh? I wonder how that would work...the slaad lords I know of are like demon lords, big and powerful but not really looking like what they rule over (slaad in this case [ygorl looks like a freakin amoeba and ssandem looks like a giant demonic semi humanoid dude])

[inuyasha]

Slaad lord template is slowly being constructed, Ima need lots of help with this one

[Arcanist]

Use the Demon Lord template for guidance if you need help. Make it so it can only be applied to a Slaad of a particular HD who has the Anarchy ability or something.
