[3.5] Weird Template and Base Creature Combos

[Thurbane]

Um, no? Half dragon breath weapon is 1/day.

There's a feat, can't remember the name off the top of my head, that allows a half-dragon to use it's breath weapon every 1d4 rounds. Or maybe it's three times a day.

Half-dragon paragon class lets you use it 3 times/day.

[NickChaisson]

Its every 1d4 rounds.

I have always liked the idea of having Hooded Pupil Half-Troll Horrid Dire Bats, Half-Vampire &/or Katane Yuan-Ti Purebloods, and Amphibious Poisonous Drow Vampires all working together under the service of a Fleshvigor Swarm-Shifter Vampiric Half-Fang Dragon Rattlyr Dragon.

A Divine Minion(Geb) Were-pig Human... Manbearpig!

Half-Robot from a Dragon Mag on a bison. Such a weird, dumb monster.

Warbeast on sentient, free willed vermin is weird too.

Construct templates on Intelligent Magic Items is weird.

Sacred Guardian (Bestiary of Krynn Revised) on a Flying weapon enhancement enchanted weapon (let's it turn into a flying animated object) was a real head scratcher too.

Greater Humanoid Essenced Constructs in general get weird.
Lycanthropy, Vampirism, etc. There are loads of normally not applicable templates that can be crammed onto a Golem when the Construct type gets filed off.

Half-Golem Iron Golem

Interesting! Which issue was that from?

Apologies, I misremembered the name. And the magazine.

Hey maybe don't necromance

Half-Dragon Oozes of any type tend to be a bit weird. Particularly since they have wings and fly speeds despite being liquid.

A pair of half-blue dragon black puddings would be alarmingly effective except they no longer split from lightning damage. Ah well. But yeah, for one stop shopping on the weird scale I am gonna go with half-dragon ooze.

I did once apply the pseudonatural template (epic version) to a cat, a dog, a rooster and a horse to be the BBEGs of a campaign.

I also suggested a half-gold dragon treant for someone that wanted a treant that was able to safely experiment with alchemical stuff without fearing the fiery explosions.

There is the less weird standy of the troll getting various templates in order to become immune to fire and acid, but that is less weird and more, well, cheese.

And of course, OOTS in Snips, Snails and Dragon Tails features a famous multiply-templated snail as that books's (not so)BBEG.

Not quite a template, but I once suggested a pig that got awakened, became evil, took the assassin prestige class and then the dragon disciple prestige class (for the wings) just so that pigs might fly.

I wanted to play a celestial pixie once but my DM vetoed it. Ghost pixie too.

A friend of mine had a pc that reincarnated into a half-silver dragon centaur. My God, what a fly speed!

Thanks! That would be a super weird bison! (I wish the template had an LA...)
