So, I have been toying with the idea of creating some templates for some upcoming campaigns. Chosen of Diety/Archdevils are possible, and I would like to draw up what these might look like.
So, if any of you have read the forgotten realms campaign setting, they show off to my knowledge 2 chosen templates. Bane and Mystra.
Chosen of Bane : Bane grants the following powers to his chosen:
Bonus spells: endure elements, mind blank, negative energy protection
At will spells: command, enthrall
5/day: hypnotism, remove fear, or cause fear
3/day: charm monster, suggestion
1/day: dominate monster, geas
Immunity to aging effects and does not age
Damage Reduction
Ability to summon death tyrants beholders
Ability to let his shadow roam free through a telepathic link
A bonus to his Wisdom score and a very large bonus to his Charisma score.
Chosen of Mystra :
+10 Con
9 immunities to specific spells, levels 1-9, 1 of each
9 spell like abilities once per day, levels 1-9, 1 of each
Silver Fire
Immune to aging, disease, disintegration, poison, they have no need to sleep but must rest normally in order to prepare spells.
Detect magic in line of sight
What might a chosen of Asmodeus look like? Would he get to shapechange into a pit fiend once per day? Would he gain the half fiend template if he didn't have it already? Perhaps he would gain a loyal Devil Cohort, such as a Cornugon or Pit Fiend or Gelugon, Paerilyion, etc (chosens choice) that would defend the chosen to the death? If it died, he could immediately select a new one.
What are your ideas? I personally haven't thought about it too much. I'd like some opinions before I set something in stone.
