I shamelessly lifted this concept from Princess Mononoke. I really like the idea of certain animals having attained, through (semi)divinity or other means, more than animal intelligence and, along with it, possibly other abilities above and beyond those of their natural species.
To make it easier to create these creatures, potentially on the fly, I want a template. Here's a first draft:
1d8 | Special Attack | Special Defense |
1 | Breath attack | Resistance to non-magic, non-silver/iron weapons |
2 | Charm | Magic resistance (1d8 x 10 percent) |
3 | Fear | Shapechange |
4 | Protection from Opposite Alignment | Teleport |
5 | Summon | Regeneration |
6 | Geas | Reincarnation |
7 | Paralysis | Spellcasting, as Cleric of HD/2 level |
8 | Energy Drain | Spellcasting, as Magic-User of HD/2 level |
STR: 24 (+5), INT: 21 (+4), WIS: 22 (+4), DEX; 19 (+3), CON: 27 (+6), CHA: 16 (+2);
HD: 8; AC: 3; Move: 225' (75'); Attacks: 1 tusk + special; Damage: 2d6+5 (12); Save As: Fighter 8; Morale: 9; Alignment: Law
All creatures within thirty feet of the Great Boar must Save vs Death, with a -2 penalty, or be overwhelmed with abject fear for 1d8 minutes. Unless killed under the light of a Blood Moon, the Great Boar will reincarnate on the night of the next Hunter's Moon. The Great Boar can cast spells as a 4th level Cleric.
