hit dice vs templates


Advice and Rules Questions


question if pic a eyeking template and a dwarf race and your 8th lvl how many eyestalks does your character have??


if 8 is also the target cr then i would say ether 0 or 6.

depend if class level = racial hd.

since the cr goes to +2 when you hit 6 hd. so with 6 hd +2 = 8

and the extra eyes equal the hd the creature has.


that is what i thought also but my GM is under the impression that racial hit dice is something else i am playing a 8th lvl dwarf eyeking and he is saying i only get 1 eyestalk which seems to be weird to me when im 8th lvl. he also said my dwarf only has 1 hit dice which gives him one eyestalk??


Quote:

Eyes or Eyestalks (Ex): An eye king has a roughly

spherical body with a single central eye on the front
of its body. It has a number of eyes or eyestalks equal
to the base creature’s racial Hit Dice (minimum 1,
maximum 20) that protrude from the top of its head.

Looks like your GM is right, both the Eyestalks and the central eye are based on Racial Hit Dice, not total hit dice.


i did say that it depand if "class level = racial hd"

raw they are not, but some gm are more easy going.

a humanoid who uses class levels only IS only one HD creature as the zombie\skeleton template shows (even level 10 character rise as if they only had 1 hd)
