Axiomatic creatures dwell in the realms of law, or any outer plane that is lawfully aligned, although they somewhat resemble beings found on the Material Plane.
Creating an Axiomatic Creature
“Axiomatic” is an inherited template that can be added to any corporeal animal, aberration, dragon, fey, giant, humanoid, magical beast, monstrous humanoid, plant or vermin of lawful or neutral alignment. An axiomatic creature uses all the base creature’s statistics and abilities except as noted here. Do not recalculate the creature’s Hit Dice, base attack bonus, saves or skills if its type changes.
Size and Type: Animals or vermin with this template become magical beasts, but otherwise type is unchanged. Axiomatic creatures encountered on the Material Plane have the extraplanar subtype.
Special Attacks: An anarchic creature retains all the special attacks of the base creature and also gains the following attack.
Smite Chaos (Su): Once per day an anarchic creature can make a normal melee attack to deal extra damage equal its HD (maximum +20) against a chaotic foe.
Special Qualities: An anarchic creature retains all special qualities of the base creature and also gains the following qualities:
- – Darkvision out to 60 feet.
- – Damage reduction (see the table below).
- – Resistance to acid, cold and fire (see the table below).
- – Spell Resistance equal to the base creature’s HD + 5.
| Hit Dice | Resistance to Acid, Cold and Fire | Damage Reduction |
| 1-3 | 5 | – |
| 4-7 | 5 | 5/magic |
| 8-11 | 10 | 5/magic |
| 12+ | 10 | 10/magic |
If the base creature already has one or more of these special qualities, use the better value.
If an anarchic creature gains damage reduction, its natural weapons are treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Environment: Any law aligned plane.
Challenge Rating: HD 3 or less, as base creature; HD 4-7, as base creature +1; HD 8+, as base creature +2.
