So, just wondering how a pair of templates would interact on a creature.
Spirit Animal (Frostburn p.155) can be applied to any animal, changing it to an incorporeal fey.
Radiant Creature (Dragon 311) can be added to a fey (among other things).
Say I had a Radiant Spirit Animal Brown Bear (advanced to 10HD): here's my questions:
Alignment: Spirit Animal is "always neutral"; Radiant moves alignment "one step closer to chaotic" from the base creature. Would that make alignment CN?
Special Attacks: if the creature was advanced by HD and gained the Searing Light attack from Radiant, how does that react with being incorporeal/manifesting?
Ability Scores: since the creature is no longer of the animal type, I'm free to put increases into Intelligence, yes?
Just as an aside, the number of templates that can be added to an incoporeal fey are very limited, unless you want it to be eeeevil. :smallyuk:
