![]() ![]() Note that these statistics affect only racial hit dice (innate hit dice), not hit dice from class levels (e.g. Types have shared rules and abilities (for instance, all undead have Con -, all Outsiders have difficulty being raised from the dead, all Animals have Int 1 or Int 2, etc.), and most importantly, definitions for Racial Hit Dice (all Dragons have d12 HD, good BAB, all good saves, and 6+Int skills, all Giants have d8 HD, medium BAB, good Fortitude, and 2+Int skills, etc.). NB: as stated, "A further wrinkle is the term kind, defined as A subcategory of creature type (PH 310)." It could be useful to define here "where that fits in with all these, too", although not part of my original question, but I found it worth mentioning.Įvery creature must have a type, and there is a strict, limited list of types: Now I think I should have illustrated enough what is behind my question, which is fairly simple: what are the link between race, type, subtype? Is it possible that taking a template changes the race? Not that I am really planning to take any of these, but each one applys a particular change. Half-Nymph (type does not change but they are considered creatures of the fey type when enchantment magic is directed against them).Wendigo (type changes to fey and gains the cold subtype).Celestial (subtype changes to extraplanar).Same question applys for a lot of templates like But in the assumption where I would take it, would it change my race as well? Is it possible to be of human race with an outsider type? Although the template is interesting, I don't really plan to take it because I want to be resurrected if I die. This is the reason why I see now a difference between race and type.īut I wonder how much the two notions collide or are distinct? Are there template that changes your race? for example if I use a template to become radiant, the description says that The creature's type changes to outsider. That NPC has an active dragonmark from an house of elves. ![]() For example in our campaign there is a NPC elf with the vampire template. Now I am wondering if there are conditions where my race changes if my type changes. In addition, I have a mark of Passage from the eberron universe which can be activated only for the human race. I think my current characteristics would be ![]() Most of them make you change type or subtype, but nothing is said about the race although some templates can change your appearance heavily and I am a little lost. ![]()
