General Rules: Monsters - Axiomatic Creature (Template)

Axiomatic Creature (from the Manual of the Planes)

Axiomatic creatures dwell in the lawful planes, the domains of order. Although they may resemble creatures from the Three Worlds, they are more perfectly formed, their features sharper and more precise, their fur or plumage shinier, their appearance clearer and more heroic. They are often called "perfect" creatures, and some say the axiomatic versions are the true and ideal first models; all other creatures of the same type are merely imitations.

"Axiomatic" is a template that can be added to any corporeal aberration, animal, dragon, fæy, giant, humanoid, magical beast, monstrous humanoid, plant, or vermin of lawful or neutral alignment. Animals with this template become magical beasts, but otherwise the creature's type is unchanged. The creature gains the subtype "lawful". Axiomatic creatures encountered in the Three Worlds have the "extraplanar" subtype. It uses all the base creature's statistics and special abilities except as noted here.

• Spell resistance equal to double the creature's Hit Dice (maximum 25).


• Linked Minds (Ex): Axiomatic creatures of a particular type within 300 feet of one another are in constant communication. If one is ware of a particular danger, they all are. If one in the group is not flat-footed, none of them are. No axiomatic creature in the group is considered flanked unless they all are.

If the base creature already has one or more of these special qualities, use the better value.
