    Default blasto the hanar

    was thinking of making one (warlock flumph)

    but a flumph is lawful good by nature

    while a warlock is chaotic good (which would fit the Blasto: "does this one feel lucky" motto better than Lawful Evil IMO

    so , the question

    is there a template that could make a flumph chaotic or another playable race that I could use that looks like a Hanar

    N.B. for those who wonder blasto is a Mass Effect 2 injoke

    Have you tried asking your DM to get rid of the alignment requirement?

    I thought most races went from "always X" to "mostly X." It would make Blasto stand out as a rebel more.

    Somehow, saying things politely makes you all the more badass.

    The build is a challenge amongst our group to come up with ridiculous yet legal characters that are shut outs to others. I tried a Carebear build but being a pacifist makes for some very annoying roleplay. The others got so fed up with it they murdered me in my sleep.

    Great idea. I never thought I would see it. You should talk to your DM about it. I can't see them being overly strict with the requirements, especially not if this is the kind of thing you regularly do in your group. May I ask, though, what kind of campaign this is? It sounds interesting in the extreme...

    Call me Rose, or The Rose Dragon. Rose Dragon is someone else entirely.

    If you need me for something, please PM me about it. I am having difficulty keeping track of all my obligations.

    Or an arrow? Seriously, if each tentacle can be used for an attack, Soulbow would be perfect. Of course, I know next to nothing about flumphs, so I don't know if that would work. But you should still be able to get two separate arrow attacks.

    Nope, Anarchic/Axiomatic/Celestial/Fiendish don't have alignment requirements, but they do turn the creature's alignment into "Always Lawful/Chaotic/Good/Evil (any)".

    Well, the book says:

    "Anarchic" is an inherited template that can be added to any corporeal aberration, animal, dragon, fey, giant, humanoid, magical beast, monstrous humanoid, ooze, plant or vermin of nonlawful alignment.
    So, Anarchic at least has alignment requirements.

    Racial alignments are general statements, they do not apply to PCs; besides: Its obviously your flumphs fey/fiend ancestor which made him/her/whatever CG/LE/whatever.

    Ordered Chaos is a feat in one of the Fiendish Codexes. It would allow some effects to treat the character as chaotic. I do not think it would allow for Class/PrC qualification though.

    As for other races, the Psuedonatural template from CArc might help with the tentacles and glowing 'speech.'
