Powerful beings from the Faerie otherworlds often take human and non-human lovers. The brood of such a union are often completely unique creatures with strange powers befiting their Faerie blood. Others are born as exemplars of their mortal parent's race — a little stronger, wiser, and more beautiful than their earthly kin. These progeny they are known as paragons when begat by a seelie godling. Various Faerie cultures other names for these creatures: godwelps, demi-gods, the blooded, godbrood, etc.

Paragon is a template that can be added to any corporeal creature of any nonevil alignment (referred hereafter as the "base creature"). Creatures with the template become "native outsiders" but otherwise the creature type is unchanged.

Paragons have a supernatural connection with the living creatures of this world as well as the home of their outsider parent — some druids and ollaves believe the gods create them as living links between the Faerie otherworlds and this reality.

A paragon uses all the base creature's statistics and special abilities except as noted here.

Speed: +10' to each of the base creature's movement types.

AC: Natural armor improves by +2

Special Attacks: the paragon retains all the special attacks of the base creature. It may also polymorph self 1/day. If it also has a Wisdom or Intelligence of 8 or better it also gains the following spell-like abilities, using its level as the caster level. The ability is usable three times per day unless noted otherwise on the table below.

Special Qualities: A paragon retains all the special qualities of the base creature and also gains the following ones:

• Low Light Vision 60'
  
• Immune to Poisons
• Spell Resistance: SR is equal to the creature's level + 5
  

If the base creature already has one or more of these special qualities, use the better value.

Saves: As base creature, +2

Abilities: Increase from the base creature as follows: Str +2, Dex +4, Con+4, Int +2, Wis +4, Cha +6

Skills: A paragon has 8 skill points, plus its intelligence modifier, per Hit Die. Treat skills from the base creature's list as class skills and other skills as cross-class. If the creature has a class, it gains skills for class levels normally.

Feats: Paragons have one feat for every four levels or the base creature's total of feats, whichever is greater.

Climate/Terrain: Same as base creature or the faerie outsider that created it.

Organization: Same as base creature
