If the base creature does not have these attack forms, use the damage values in the table. If it has a hand free, it uses a claw as an additional natural secondary attack. If armed with a weapon, it usually uses the weapon as its primary attack and its bite as a natural secondary attack. When it has a weapon, it usually uses the weapon instead.Ī half-fiend fighting without weapons uses both claws and its bite when making a full attack.

A half-fiend fighting without weapons uses a claw when making an attack action.

If the base creature can use weapons, the half-fiend retains this ability. Natural armor improves by +1 (this stacks with any natural armor bonus the base creature has).Ī half-fiend has two claw attacks and a bite attack, and the claws are the primary natural weapon. Unless the base creature has a better fly speed, the creature can fly at the base creature’s base land speed (average maneuverability). Half-fiends are normally native outsiders.Ī half-fiend has bat wings. Do not recalculate Hit Dice, base attack bonus, or saves. 'Half-fiend' is an inherited template that can be added to any living, corporeal creature with an Intelligence score of 4 or more and nongood alignment (referred to hereafter as the base creature).Ī half-fiend uses all the base creature’s statistics and special abilities except as noted here.

No matter its form, a half-fiend is always hideous to behold, having dark scales, horns, glowing red eyes, bat wings, a fetid odor, or some other obvious sign that it is tainted with evil.
