Template abilities that depend on HD


Rules Questions


1 person marked this as FAQ candidate.

The half-celestial and half-fiend templates provide spell-like abilities that depend on HD. This does not seem to be based on racial HD, so as a half-celestial/fiend gains class levels, it would also gain additional spell-like abilities, correct?

As far as I can tell, only the racial skill points depend on racial HD.

Also, any idea why a half-celestial only needs an Int or Wis score of 8 or higher to use spell-like abilities? Seeing as how this as an innate ability, that seems fine. They shouldn't have the same restrictions as a Cleric or Wizard. I'm just curious why the minimum mental ability score is 8? Or why a minimum exists at all?


Only the half-dragon mentions racial hit dice. And I presume the 8 requirement is to grant more flexibility to creatures that are given the template.
