Dream Creature is 3rd party, and thus irrevocably prohibited. Why can't anyone take Half-Celestial? Third party is allowed on a case-by-case basis. This template is both weaker and better fitting to the campaign than the ghost. People can take half-celestial, however at level 11 the template will change to +3 which opens the question of whether people should sacrifice a level for the template or everybody else gain another free template. I prefer the first option, adding more templates might make the campaign a little bit too high-powered, although it is fairly high-powered already. Edit: I would go Lycanthorpe but the -2 CHA is a total killer, any chance of switching that with INT? It would still be weaker than the ghost. 3rd party isn't allowed, has never been allowed, and will never be allowed. Exception being Psionics in one of Retech's campaigns, but no one used that because 3rd party is a bad idea. Give a munchkin an inch and they'll take an ell, as they say. I do think this campaign is a bit high-power. Templates aren't made to mesh with player characters, and they sorta don't.
