Been messing with templates

I've produced several templated critters for my new D&D campaign, but the monster below I made strictly as an homage to the old Legend of Zelda nintendo game. The rest of my new beasties will be published after my PCs encounter them.

Aquamenti speak Draconic, Sylvan, and Common.

Magic Circle against Law (Su): This ability continuously duplicates the effect of the spell. An aquamentus cannot suppress this ability.
Spell-Like Abilities: Aquamenti can use detect law at will as a free action.
Once per day it can use greater teleport to move anywhere within its home. It cannot teleport beyond the boundaries of its native forest or mountain chain nor back from outside.
An aquamentus can use cure light wounds three times per day and cure moderate wounds once per day (caster level 5th) by touching a wounded creature with its horn. Once per day it can use neutralize poison (DC 22, caster level 8th) with a touch of its horn. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Wild Empathy (Ex): This power works like the druid’s wild empathy class feature, except that an aquamentus has a +6 racial bonus on the check.
Breath Weapon (Ex): 30-foot cone of fire. Reflex save vs. DC 15 for half. Useable once per day.
Skills: Aquamenti have a +4 racial bonus on Move Silently checks. *Aquamenti have a +3 competence bonus on Survival checks within the boundaries of their forest.

  1. I'll see what I can do, but don't be surprised if I send at least one Dodongo after you -before- you acquire bombs.
