Okay to clarify, the original build had the old worm that walks template. Which gave ooze traits by the way, although I admit that is unrelated to my choise of the sentry ooze template. At this point in time I wasn't even trying to get a mount.<br/><br/>Kunoichi had reservations of the template, so began to look for templates to fill the holes. 3 CR worth of hole, which when I began to fill began to seriously increase her charisma and sort of let it evolvve to the mount variety. When I was working on beholder girl, the gibbering orb had crossed paths and so with a little template shuffling, I was able to get it in theory.<br/><br/>Then Kunoichi let me know there was a updated version of worm that walks in elder evils, but it was not printed as a template, just stuck on a monster stat block. She mentioned it could potentially be reverse engineered.<br/><br/>And then this morning, Kunoichi, great monster builder that she is, provided me with a new worm that walks template. To my surprise it now had a nice attribute boost and fitting it back in the original build, more or less kept the same charisma score.<br/><br/><br/>Anyway, long story short. The build I'm going with is the first/original one with the worm and without the radient template. To get that crawly feeling back in the theme.<br/><br/>(Side note, you need light to make shadow ;p )<br/><br/><br/>As for the special abilities, glad you like them. The mansion was inspired both on the mansion spell but also on the demiplane seed of the planeshifter in the old 3.0 manual of the planes.<br/><br/><br/><br/>
