"Seriously, does this entire section require suits?"

"Suits are not required. You may trust me, as I am a perfectly normal fleshy entity such as yourselves."

Zygoms are cap mushrooms forming a rhizome structure that sweat a sticky glue like substance used to attach their spores to passing critters. Found for the most part only near the Barrier Peaks in Greyhawk, it is presumed to be an invasive alien species.

Create Host (Ex): If the Zygom is in physical contact with a living creature, that creature must make a DC 14 Fortitude Save (Save DC is Con based with a +2 Racial Bonus). If the victim fails, the Zygoms spores are glued to it's skin and mature within 1d4+1 days (if it receives a Remove Disease spell within this time it kills the spores). Once the spores mature, the infected subject acts as if dominated (as per the spell). So long as the infection remains, the domination remains in effect, even if a check would normally indicate that the effect is broken. The victim additionally takes 1 point of vile damage per day until a Remove Disease spell is cast. If hp reach 0 the victim dies and becomes a new fruiting body of Zygoms.

Combat: Zygoms control their hosts to defend their colonies, and to bring in other hosts to infect, but they only fight in defense or against victims they know they can win against.

"Hur-ray hur-ray, step right up! Getch'er new fangled alchemy Golems here!"

"This is kind of a Golem in the loosest sense only."

Demos are Magen, a form of Construct created by molds and alchemical gelatin. They look humanoid, with grayish white flesh and are warm to the touch. Good sculptors can make them have hair or bestial features, or even resemble a living person. While not mindless, they do not process things in quite the same manner as living beings, making decisions based on the literal interpretation of instructions given to them. They do not have free will, and know any one language chosen by their creator at the time of their creation. The Demos are bodyguards, and are taught the use of weapons and armor. They are generally sculpted to be intimidating.

Martial Proficiency: Demos are proficient with all Simple and Martial Weapons, and all Armor and Shields (except Tower Shields).

Loyalty (Ex): If it's master is killed the Demos goes berserk. The uncontrolled Demos goes on a rampage, attacking the nearest living creature or smashing some object smaller than itself if no creature is within reach, then moving on to spread more destruction. Once a Demos goes berserk, no known method can reestablish control. Demos cannot disobey an order given by their master.

Combat: Demos aren't great tacticians, but they will do their best to follow their masters orders to the letter.



[size=10pt]Construction[/size]

To construct a Magen, the prospective crafter must create a metal mold. The mold will determine the Magen's appearance, and is filled with a magically charged gelatin which requires 3000 GP to produce. The mold is another 2000 GP, but can be used for future Magen as well.

Caldrons are a form of Magen used as assassins and guards (more like traps really). They aren't quite as detailed as Demos, and can extend their limbs by up to 20 ft.

Stretch (Ex): As a Move Action the Caldron can stretch it's arms or legs up to 20 feet, allowing it increased reach.

Improved Grab (Ex): If the Caldron hits with it's Slam attack, it can immediately attempt a Grapple as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity. If it succeeds it can Constrict.

Acid Constrict (Ex): The Caldron does 2d3+6 damage plus 2d6 Acid damage.

Loyalty (Ex): If it's master is killed the Caldron goes berserk. The uncontrolled Caldron goes on a rampage, attacking the nearest living creature or smashing some object smaller than itself if no creature is within reach, then moving on to spread more destruction. Once a Caldron goes berserk, no known method can reestablish control. Caldrons cannot disobey an order given by their master.

Combat: Caldrons grapple the nearest opponent and burn it to death with their acid before moving to the next opponent.

[TheWombatOfDoom]

I'm preparing a campaign where demons have been successfully thwarted in taking over the material plane as another layer/their own abyss, led by Orcus. However, there are still plenty of demons left in the world, making themselves at home all over the place, so now its up to the party to clean up and route them out. I'm looking to get some new and unique types of demons, both in terms of mooks and leadership that would challenge a group of level 11's, and progressive levels. This could be plants that have become demonic, animals that have become demonic, or just plain old pure demons. Think you might have some ideas?

Giant Flea

This creature, despite its name, is Fine in size, being twice the size of an ordinary flea. Like its smaller cousins it subsists on the blood of a host. Unlike its cousins, however, it stays with a single host for its adult lifespan of six months.

While giant fleas cannot fly, they can leap up to 10 feet, and they can smell their chosen host in a room full of dockworkers at low tide after a hard summer day's work. They are immune to soap and water, and gain a +4 savings throw bonus versus herbal or alchemical pesticides. Cantrips which remove vermin are effective in forcing the giant flea off his host, but in the following round the flea jumps back onto its chosen host. Spells which injure vermin specifically are effective against giant fleas, which have 1hit point.

The giant flea shares his host's save versus AoE damage. If this fails, the flea gets a second save with a +4 Cover bonus, which would not apply in cases of immersion.

The flea consumes 1 HP worth of blood per day from its host. However, it also injects its host with coagulant compounds which allow the host to stop bleeding in virtually any circumstances. The host will always stabilize one round after being brought to negative hit points, and one round after being injured by a weapon with the wounding property the damage per round is reduced by one point.

The giant flea is highly territorial, and will drive off any other blood-sucking parasites which attempt to attack its host. Mosquitoes, lice, lesser fleas, and any other vermin are automatically repelled by the chemical alterations to the host's blood. Leeches and other blood-draining creatures will stop after 1 round of blood drain. Vampires will find the host's blood tastes foul, and he will gain no nourishment from it. He may choose to drain the host's blood, but is far more likely to move on to another victim.

Male giant fleas will seek out mates while their hosts sleep. Females never voluntarily leave their hosts until the end of their life cycle, at which time they lay clusters of eggs on the underside of leaves which hatch nymph-stage offspring which immediately begin to seek a host. A nymph or adult cannot survive more than three days without feeding, and an adult will only feed on its chosen host.

Galvans are experimental Magen who can fry opponents with lightning. Their abilities seem limited, however, and research needs to be further done before making them more widespread.

Lightning Bolt (Su): Galvan can cast Lightning Bolt 3/Day as a 5th Level Caster.

Loyalty (Ex): If it's master is killed the Galvan goes berserk. The uncontrolled Galvan goes on a rampage, attacking the nearest living creature or smashing some object smaller than itself if no creature is within reach, then moving on to spread more destruction. Once a Galvan goes berserk, no known method can reestablish control. Galvans cannot disobey an order given by their master.

Combat: Galvans blast whatever target their master points out with lightning. After their electricity runs out, they are forced to make do with conventional weapons.

"You are most exquisite sir or madam."

"Flattery works best if you don't unintentionally insult your target."

"They are somewhat mindless critters ma'am."

Hypnos are generally the most exquisitely sculpted of the Magen, and are used as personal assistants. Their abilty to mentally influence others makes them popular, but it also terrifies their masters. Most live in fear that somehow the Hypnos will some day gain free will.

Charm (Su): Hypnos can cast Charm Person at will as a 5th Level Wizard.

Suggestion (Su): Hypnos can cast Suggestion at will as a 5th Level Wizard. It may only do this on victims it has successfully Charmed, and may do so silently as it has established a telepathic channel to victims it has Charmed.

Loyalty (Ex): If it's master is killed the Hypnos goes berserk. The uncontrolled Hypnos goes on a rampage, attacking the nearest living creature or smashing some object smaller than itself if no creature is within reach, then moving on to spread more destruction. Once a Hypnos goes berserk, no known method can reestablish control. Hypnos cannot disobey an order given by their master.

Combat: Hypnos avoid combat, preferring to use their Supernatural abilities. Their master can still order them to fight, however.

This basic thing. I've already gotten a tainted wind, it'd be interesting to have a demonic forest, with demonic twisted creatures. Think of the abyss as a chaotic blight that is tainting the world. But it could just be other strange demons.

[TheWombatOfDoom]

anyone seen wombat?

I'm liking them! I'm always a fan of non templates too, or more examples of the templates you have, just because I'm not as good at converting on the fly.

Also, can you design any higher level challenges as well? Like CR 15ish? Also, I would assume most of these templates are able to summon other demons, like most demon. Also for the feux tiefling, i'd say that they may be unknowing spys. Like they're not always fully aware of the corruption.

I'm liking them! I'm always a fan of non templates too, or more examples of the templates you have, just because I'm not as good at converting on the fly.

I got a tree demon and a forest demon coming, the tree will be in that cr range. Currently none of the above templates are summoners but there will be some on the way.

Faux Dryads look a lot like regular Dryads to humans. There are enough differences that Fey, Druids, and those that spend much time with either can make a Spot vs Disguise Check to realize something is off. They are intended as scouts and companions for Black Figs. They find good locations for planting and then serve as distractions for anyone who comes poking about.

Spell-Like Abilities (Sp): At Will: Charm Monster, Entangle, Greater Teleport, Speak With Plants, Suggestion, Tree Shape, Tree Stride. Caster Level is 12th.

Summon Demon (Sp): Once per day a Faux Dryad can attempt to summon 1 vrock with a 30% chance of success. This ability is the equivalent of a 3rd-level spell.

Change Shape (Su): A Faux Dryad can assume the form of any Small or Medium humanoid.

Skills: Faux Dryads have a +8 Racial Bonus to Disguise Checks meant to appear as a Dryad.

Combat: Faux Dryads are not combat monsters. They try to befriend intruders and lead them into ambushes, or have Charmed critters deal with them.

Black Figs appear as enormous, and somehow unsettling Fig trees. Grown in the soil of the Abyss they are transplanted to the Prime with Faux Dryads as guardians. Once in place the Cults of Orcus find it much easier to bring in demonic assistance. Once established a Fig must be destroyed swiftly, or else the area will be swarming with monsters.

Spell-Like Abilities (Sp): At Will: Animate Plants, Forestfold, Greater Dispel Magic, Jungle's Rapture, Spike Growth, Unholy Aura. Caster Level is 12th.

Summoning Focus (Su): When within 120 ft. of the Black Fig Summoning and Calling spells and abilities work differently. If someone casts a Summon Monster spell it always summons a Tanar'ri (if no Tanar'ri is specified in the spell entry substitute any Tanar'ri of an identical CR). If the Tanar'ri is still within range at the end of the spell it doesn't leave. If a Gate spell is cast within this area it immediately opens to the Abyss regardless of the casters intent. Beings with the Summon Demon ability have their chances to Summon increased by 20%, and may use it one additional time per day. They may also summon different Demons. For example a Succubus would have a 50% chance of summoning any CR 9 Demon, instead of a 30% chance of Summoning a Vrock.

Frightful Presence (Ex): The Black Fig can inspire terror by revealing it's true nature or attacking. Affected creatures must succeed on a DC 25 Will save or become shaken, remaining in that condition as long as they remain with 60 feet of the Black Fig. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Combat: Black Figs generally pretend to be normal trees, only attacking if they have to. Their mission is to establish a beachhead on the Prime that more Demons can pour through.

Okay I'm working on the rough draft of the blighted plant/critter template. How many options do you want?

Tainted Nature

Tainted Nature is an Acquired or Inherited Template that can be applied to any Animal, Plant or Vermin. It is acquired by encounters with Abyssal Elementals, and perhaps the taint of Orcus as well. Flora and fauna that acquire this template change in some way, usually for the worse.

Size and Type: Type becomes Outsider with the Chaotic, Evil and Native Subtypes, size is unchanged.

Hit Dice: Unchanged.

Speed: Unchanged (but see below).

Armor Class: Unchanged.

Attacks: Unchanged. BAB changed to be equal to Hit Dice.

Damage: Unchanged.

Special Attacks: Retains all Special Attacks of the Base Creature, plus gains one of the following for every 3 Hit Dice it has:

Attach (Ex): The Base Creature can Attach itself to an opponent by making a Melee Touch Attack. While Attached it is considered to be Grappling it's opponent, but loses it's Dexterity Bonus to AC. To remove it requires the opponent to successfully Pin it in a Grapple.

Augmented Criticals (Ex): One of the Base Creature's Special Attacks has it's critical threat range increased by 1, and it's critical damage multiplier increased by 1 (i.e. if they normally do x2 damage with a critical, they now do x3. D)

Battle Frenzy (Ex): Choose either the Power, or Speed option when picking this ability. Power: Once per fight the Base Creature may go into Battle Frenzy gaining an ability exactly the same as the Barbarians Rage ability listed in the Players Handbook page 26. Speed:As Power except you use the Whirling Frenzy variant found on page 66 of Unearthed Arcana.

Blinding Flash (Su):The Base Creature can emit a blinding flash of light a number of times per day equal to its Charisma modifier. Anyone within 10 feet of the Base Creature looking at it that has eyes must make a Fortitude Save (DC: 10 + 1/2 Hit Dice + Charisma modifier) or be Blinded for 1d6 minutes. If the Save is successful they are blinded for 1d4 rounds.

Blood Drain (Ex): The Base Creature does 1d4 temporary Constitution damage each round it has it's opponent Pinned in a Grapple Check (2d6 if Increased Size is taken), or if it has Attach each round it remains attached, beginning with the first round it which it starts attached to it's victim.

Chemical Spray (Ex): Once every 1d4 rounds you can unleash a bitter irritating chemical spray that sticks to your opponents and burns them. This is an 40' Cone (60' Cone if Increased Size is taken) that does 1d6 Acid damage, and the opponent must make a Fortitude Save (DC is 10 plus half Hit Dice plus Constitution Modifier) or be Sickened for 1d4 minutes. Opponents with the Scent ability take a -4 Penalty on this roll. If the opponent rolls a Natural '1' on his Save, he is also Blinded for 1d4 rounds.

Diseased Attack(Ex):The Base Creature's natural attacks are infected with disease. Opponents who are successfully struck by these attacks must make a Fortitude Save (DC is 10 + 1/2 Hit Dice + Constitution Modifier) or be infected. You may choose any disease on page 292 of the DM's Guide that has Contact or Injury listed as an infection method (except Mummy Rot).

Disease Spray (Ex):You may spray an opponent with infected fluids. This is an 40 foot cone (60' if Increased Size is taken)that may be used every 1d4 rounds. Opponents must make a Fortitude Save (DC is 10 +1/2 Hit Dice + Constitution Modifier)or be infected. You may choose any disease on page 292 of the DM's Guide that has Contact or Injury as an infection method except Mummy Rot (Diseases with the Injury infection method will only infect if you have already injured the opponent before spraying them).

Energized Attack (Su):As a standard action once per minute you may charge your natural attacks attacks with energy of some type. You must choose the type when the template is applied, and the effect last 1d4+1 rounds. During this time the natural attacks do an extra 1d6 damage of the appropriate energy type (2d6 if Increased Size is taken), this damage is not multiplied on a critical. You may choose Acid, Cold, Electricity, Fire, or Sonic. Optionally you may choose during creation to link your Energized Attacks to your Natural Attacks, Constriction, or successful Grapple attacks. This ability may be chosen more than once. If so, decide which version of the Energized Attack you are using (the effects of picking it more than once do not stack).

Poison Attack (Ex): One of your natural attacks (usually a bite or sting) is envenomed. If this attack hits and does damage, your opponent must make a Fortitude Save to avoid the venom's effects (DC is 10 +1/2 Hit Dice + Constitution Modifier). Initial and Secondary damage is 1d4 (1d6 if Increased Size is taken), you choose whether or nor Damage is done to Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution at Creation. Or optionally Initial damage is Paralysis for 2d4 rounds, secondary damage is none.

Poison Flesh (Ex): If your opponent bites you he may be poisoned if he fails a Fortitude Save (DC is 10 plus half Hit Dice plus Constitution Modifier plus a +4 Racial Bonus).

Or optionally Initial damage is Paralysis for 2d4 rounds, secondary damage is none.

If he fails he is blinded for 1d6 rounds (eyeless creatures are immune to this effect), and takes acid damage equal to half your total Hit Dice (i.e. if you have 40 Hit Dice it takes 20 damage).

Poison Spray (Ex):You can spew a cloud of venom once every 1d4 rounds in a 40 foot cone (60' if Increased Size is taken). Anyone in its area of effect must make a Fortitude Save ( Dc is 10 + 1/2 Hit Dice + Constitution modifier) or take the poisons effects. Initial and secondary damage is 1d4 (1d6 if Increased Size is taken), you may choose to damage either Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution at creation. Or optionally you may choose to make initial damage Paralysis for 1d4 rounds, secondary damage none.

Stench (Ex): Rotting garbage smells better than you. Any living being with a sense of smell coming within 30 feet of the Tainted must make a Fortitude Save (DC is 10 + 1/2 Hit Dice +Constitution modifier) or be Nauseated for 1d6+4 rounds (60' if Increased Size is taken). If the opponents save successfully they are immune to the effects of the Stench for 24 hours.

Stunning Blow (Ex): If you succeed with your Primary Natural Attack your opponent must make a Fortitude Save (DC is 10 plus 1/2 Hit Dice plus Str Modifier) or be Stunned for 1d3 rounds.

"Evening ma'ams. Could you spare a dime for a few poor souls trappped on Carceri? If we can free them they'd make excellent cannon fodder. They're stoic as all get out."

Formerly known as the Tiere, the Gautiere were tall, gaunt humanoids with grey skin. They worshiped a God whose name is long forgotten and toiled for generations to build a massive shrine in the Outlands to be his home. Other, more jealous Gods assaulted the Tiere and their shrine. Betrayed by their Good who hid within the temple, the Gautiere conducted a powerful ritual trapping their former deity within. In the aftermath the shrine and it's captive deity disappeared, and the Gautiere were forever imprisoned on the layer of Minethys on Carceri. They are brutal and uncaring to all but their own, and never retreat in battle.

Acid Touch (Su): Once per day the Gautiere can make a melee touch attack that does 3d6 acid damage. This damage takes twice as long to heal, and spells that heal damage heal half as much of this damage as usual.

Immunities (Ex): Gautiere are immune to Acid and Fire damage, as well as the effects of high temperatures (see Sandstorm).

Planar Prisoners (Ex): Gautiere cannot leave, or be removed from, the Plane of Carceri by any means.

Combat: Gautiere are fond of ambushes, and never retreat or surrender once a fight has begun. They prefer their Xaen, and will use their touch attack on stubborn foes. Their claws are used in desperation.

Deceivers are Djinni tasked with masking the true face of the world for so long it has corrupted them. They are grey skinned, thin Djinn with long limbs, and large head, hands and feet. They have blond hair, one blue eye and one brown eye. Virtually incapable of telling the truth, they will lie even if the truth serves them better.

Spell-Like Abilities (Sp): At will: Comprehend Languages, Disguise Self, False Vision, Misdirection, Misrepresent Alignment, Serene Visage, Whispering Wind. 2/day: Major Image, Shadow Evocation, Veil (distance distortion?) 1/day: Color Spray, Mass Suggestion, Permanent Image, Phantasmal Disorientation, Programmed Image, Project Image, Solipsism, Song of Discord. Caster Level is 24th.

Blinding Claws (Ex): On a successfully confirmed critical with it's claws, the Deceiver permanently blinds it's opponent until it receives a Remove Blindness/Deafness spell.

Displacement (Su): Deceiver Genie's have a permanent Displacement spell in effect on their person (Caster Level is equal to Hit Dice). They may shut this on or off once per round as a Free Action.

Inveterate Liar (Ex): Deceiver's are virtually incapable of telling the truth, even under magical compulsion. Charmed or Dominated Deceiver's can and will still lie to their controllers, and they are immune to spells that compel the truth.

Plane Shift (Sp): A genie can enter any of the elemental planes, the Astral Plane, or the Material Plane. This ability transports the genie and up to eight other creatures, provided they all link hands with the genie. It is otherwise similar to the spell of the same name (caster level 13th).

Combat: Deceivers are cowards who avoid combat, using their Spell-Like abilities to distract foes while they escape. If cornered they are vicious, and will fight hysterically.
