How to Create a Template
After you have purchased a membership from Dingle’s Games you will be able to create your own monster and Templates.
Some notes on templates:
1. The Stats for a template are all based on an average of 11, so if you give 13 to Str this will add +2 (13 minus 11) to the Strength score of the base creature, 9 Chr will give -2 (9 minus 11) Charisma to the base creature.
2. If a Stat is set to 0 this will set the stat to zero on the base creature. This can be used when creating undead templates and setting the Con to 0.
3. Setting the Type to Undead will change the Hit Die (D8 for Pathfinder, (D12 for D&D 3.5).
4. Changing the Saving Throws will only effect levels attributed to the Template.
5. Size and Reach are ignored in templates
6. Speeds are taken either from the base creature or the template whichever is greater.
7. Special Attacks and Special Qualities can be set up to only activate at certain HD using the Min HD and Max HD fields.
…So where do I go to make a template? I don’t understand.
Hi Crossfiyah,
You create templates in the Monster Creator (Add) function. You create a template like you create a monster but set the template field to “template”, this is a drop down menu found next to the CR Rating.

Thank you sir
I tried to add a monster (Kaorti from Fiend Folio), but I could not «create» it : Speed must be numerical (and it was, it did not have the ‘ or ft, just 30).
Hi patricktremblay13@hotmail.fr,
You need to set the other speeds to 0 i.e. Fly, Climb, Burrow
