[[Summary::''Ice shines on the flank of the beast before you, and icicles dangle from it's mouth. Surely this creature must be dead, having frozen solid in terrible place. But no, it cranes it's neck, turning to look at you, the ice bending in tandum tandem with it's body.'']]
A planetwisted is a creature that has been directly affected by the energies that make up the planes, and who have been forever changed by it. A planetwisted's physical appearance can vary vastlygreatly. Certain planetwisted appear to be angels, pure and simple, while others appear to have been the offspring of a human and an elemental. Regardless, all planetwisted are far different from their 'natural' cousins.
== Creating a Planetwisted ==
Planetwisted is an acquired template that can be applied to any creature that has either spent an extreme ammount of time upon a different plane of existance, or undergone a ritual to expose their body to raw planar forces. Should someone wish to make themselves a planetwisted via a ritual, it is suggested that, for every +1 LA of the template, it cost costs either 3000 xp (the cost buy off the LA) or 15,000g (x5 the cost of XP). Of course, a plot or quest to obtain the template may be required. You may choose as many benefits or penalties from the list of modifacations modifications below as you wish. The visual appearance of a planetwisted always varies.
All of the effects given below are [[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|extraordinary]] abilities, unless otherwise noted. At the end of each modifacation modification description, there is a cost listed, with the unit ''p''. These cost are what determine the cost of this template, as detailed below.
=== Minor Benefits ===
The following are all minor modifacations that heighten a characters physical abilities. Please note that a character cannot take a number of benefits so that the total positive ''p'' value of this template would be greater than (half their [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]] (rounded down) + 9).
'''{{Anchor|Swift Footed:}}''' You gain a +10 foot increase to your [[SRD:Movement Speed|land speed]]. This modifacation modification can be taken multiple times, and it's effects stack. Though, this template cannot add more than +30 feet to a characters [[SRD:Movement Speed|land speed]]. ''Cost: 1p''
'''{{Anchor|Increased Ability:}}''' You gain a +2 bonus to one of your ability scores. This modifacation modification can be selected multiple times, and it's effects stack, but it cannot grant more than a +6 bonus to any single ability score. ''Cost: 1p''
'''{{Anchor|Eternally Rested:}}''' You no longer require sleep to survive. ''Cost: 1p''
'''{{Anchor|Fast Healing:}}''' You gain [[SRD:Fast Healing|fast healing]] equal to (1 + ¼ your [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]]). ''Cost: 2p''
'''{{Anchor|Bonus Feat:}}''' You gain a bonus feat. You may only select this modifacation modification once. ''Cost: 2p''
'''{{Anchor|Extreme Awareness:}}''' You gain [[SRD:Blindsight and Blindsense#Blindsight (Ex)|Blindsight]] out to 20 ft. ''Cost: 2p''
'''{{Anchor|Flight:}}''' You gain powerful wings that may be feathered, batlike, or even made of stone, grating you a [[SRD:Fly|flight]] speed equal to (your [[SRD:Movement Speed|land speed]]−10) at Average Maneuverability. At 5 HD, this upgrades to good maneuverability. At 10 HD, this flight maneuverability upgrades to perfect. ''Cost: 2p''
'''{{Anchor|Aquatic:}}''' You gain fins, powerful leg muscles that can propell propel you forward extremely quickly, and gills, granting you a swim speed equal to (your [[SRD:Movement Speed|land speed]]−10 feet), and the ability to breath underwater without a problem. At 5 HD, this swim speed improves to (your [[SRD:Movement Speed|land speed]]). At 10 HD, this swim speed improves to (your [[SRD:Movement Speed|land speed]]+10 feet). ''Cost: 2p''
'''{{Anchor|Infernal Wound}} ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' The damage you deal with manufactured weapons causes a persistent wound. A creature injured by a manufactured weapon you use loses 2 additional [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]] each [[SRD:Round|round]]. The wound does not [[SRD:Heal|heal]] naturally and resists [[SRD:Heal|healing]] [[SRD:Creature Spells and Powers#Spells|spells]]. The continuing hit point loss can be stopped by a [[SRD:Heal Skill|Heal]] check, a ''cure'' spell, or a ''[[SRD:Heal|heal]]'' spell. However, a character attempting to cast a ''cure'' spell or a ''[[SRD:Heal|heal]]'' spell on a creature damaged by a manufactured weapon you use must succeed on a [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] check, or the spell has no effect on the injured character. A successful [[SRD:Heal Skill|Heal]] check automatically stops the continuing hit point loss as well as restoring [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]]. The infernal wound is a [[SRD:Supernatural Ability|supernatural ability]] of you, not of the weapon you use. The check [[SRD:DC|DCs]] are (10 + half your [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]] + your [[SRD:Constitution|Con]] modifier). ''Cost: 2p''
'''{{Anchor|Hard Skin:}}''' You gain a +2 natural armor bonus to your AC at 1 HD and an addition +1 every 4 HD beyond (4th, 8th, 12th, etc). If you already have natural armor, use whichever value is higher. ''Cost: 3p''
'''{{Anchor|Ice Body:}}''' You gain [[SRD:Cold Immunity|immunity to cold]]. A character cannot take this modifacation modification if he selects the [[#Regeneration|Regeneration]] major benefit, or the [[#Warm Body|Warm Body]] minor penalty. ''Cost: 3p''
'''{{Anchor|Flame Body:}}''' You gain [[SRD:Fire Immunity|immunity to fire]]. A character cannot take this modifacation modification if he selects the [[#Regeneration|Regeneration]] major benefit, or the [[#Chill Body|Chill Body]] minor penalty. ''Cost: 3p''
'''{{Anchor|Dense Body:}}''' All of your [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]], both past and future, improve by one step, to a maximum of d12. ''Cost: 3p''
