View source for Child, Variant (3.5e Template)

=== Special Attacks ===

The child retains all special attacks of the base creature. Special attacks that deal physical damage change according to size category, whereas damage from magical special attacks decreases one die step (d6's become d4's, etc.). The DC of any special attack the child may have decreases according to the loss of HD. The range and duration of all of a child's special attacks halves.

''Example:'' A [[troll]] child's [[troll#Rend|Rend]] [[Ex|extraordinary ability]] deals a base damage of 2d4 instead of 2d6.

''Example:'' An [[SRD:Elephant|elephant]] has 11 HD and a DC 25 Trample [[SRD:Special Attacks and Special Qualities (Creature Statistic)|special attack]]. An elephant calf only has 5 HD and has 2 points of [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] less than an adult elephant. Its Trample DC is 21.
