Unholy Template?


Rules Questions

My players will be encountering an Unholy Elder Fire Elemental in an upcoming session. Where do I find the Unholy Template to complete this creature's stat block?

Thanks!

Where did you see this unholy elder fire elemental mentioned? In what book?

Pathfinder Adventure Path (Spoiler):
Carrion Crown Book 6 - Ashes at Dawn


The "unholy" part of those elementals isn't a template; it's explained in the paragraph directly above:

"The elementals are infused with unholy power; half of the damage from their burn ability is fire damage, but the other half results directly from divine power and is therefore not subject to being reduced by resistance to fire-based attacks."

Beyond that, they're ordinary elder fire elementals.


Ashes at Dawn is Book 5 and contains no mentions of any Elder Fire Elementals, unholy or otherwise. It does have a few NPCs with elemental gems.

Shadows of Gallowspire does have 4 Unholy Fire Elementals on page 55. The only effect seems to be that "half of the damage from their burn ability is fire damage, but the other half results directly from divine power and is therefore not subject to being reduced by resistance to fire-based attacks."

Edit- nninja'd!

Ooops. Book 6 Shadows of Gallowspire. Been running this campaign for so long... lol

Thank you for the clarification on the Unholy part of the creature.
