Half-Fiend Template
Hi, I feel a little stupid for asking, but what exactly constitutes the half-fiend template? I searched the internet and can't find it, and buying whatever book it's in will be tough--I'm short on funds. Some details (like, say if it adds LA or the traits it gives) would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Half-Fiend Template
I also recommend this over the standard half-fiend. It makes a more believable half-fiend, and I always use it when I'm making half-fiends (which I do often).

Re: Half-Fiend Template
Sadly, I do not have the monster manual. Well, I do. But it's 2nd edition, and from way back when I was a kid and read them 'cause they were interesting to toy with, despite the fact I had no idea what the hell THAC0 was.
Thanks to all who replied for their help, especially the websites. They helped. A lot.

You might want to check out Crystal Keep which keeps a lot of information on the game from various sources. Has templates from various sources.

Re: Half-Fiend Template
Neat. Is there a celestial version of that nonstandard half fiend link?

Re: Half-Fiend Template
I don't remember seeing one but half-celestials and half-fiends are so similiar that you can just use the same principle of the half-fiend system there and apply it to celestials instead.

Re: Half-Fiend Template
Still, ever notice most half-fiends are children of a demon or devil, while many half-celestial types actually have deific blood? A solar would work just fine, as would an evil god for a half-fiend, but that's not always how it works.
Erevan Ilesere sows his wild oats among elves everywhere in the multiverse...they don't all have divine ranks. ;) But it's a bit harder to use this method with a god as the base creature.
In a PbP campaign I'm playing a Star Elf Bard / Half Celestial daughter of Erevan Ilesere. The DM took the template and replaced all the SLA's with equivalent level spells from the Elf, Trickery and Luck domains.

Re: Half-Fiend Template
Serpent Kingdoms had the "Unique" Half-Fiend Lizard Queen. Basically Lizard King with Half-Fiend template, plus an extra pair of arms(Marilith mother). Draegloths are more or less Drow with most of the Half-Fiend goodies, but I guess they trade the wings for "small arms"(the human pair that's mostly useless for combat), and have the claws on the big arms. It just takes a little imagination, really. This is the kind of stuff that should have been in Fiendish Codex I and II, but as far as I can tell, wasn't.

Everytime someone says "Pazuzu" twice, Ao erases them on the next "Pa". Then he undeletes them so he can wipeinfo them from the multiverse.

Re: Half-Fiend Template
Since Celestials tend more towards humanoid forms there isn't really any reason. Give a human wings and there's little more to make him more like his celestial parent than change his skin colour.
I guess you might want to look at Antropomorphic animals if you want a half-guardinal.
Changing the spell-like ability list might work as well. For example swapping out a few spells for fire iones for a Half-Firre Eladrin."that nighted, penguin-fringed abyss" - At The Mountains of Madness, H.P. Lovecraft
