Monster: Magma Paraelemental

Monster: Magma Paraelemental

Here we have the magma paraelemental. Something of a blend between the earth and the fire
elementals.

Monster: Ice Paraelemental

 Monster: Ice Paraelemental

One thing that I disliked about the Great Wheel cosmology in D&D 3.0+ is the removal of the
paraelemental and quasielemental planes. But at least WotC decided to keep the paraelementals. I decided to remove the ice paraelemental's ability to chill metal and make them slower. I think they make more sense like this.

Monsters: Guardian Familiars

 Monsters: Guardian Familiars

Compete Warrior for D&D 3.5 has only 3 new monsters. More than expected from such a supplement. All three are guardian consturcts that can be taken as familiars.

Alchemy: Alternative Elixir Forms

 Alchemy: Alternative Elixir Forms

Metatronic Alchemy already has quite many different elixir forms that should satisfy most players and GMs. I've added some more, like paints, dehydrated potions, and alchemical capsules, but the possibilities do not end there! Let's create meta-modifiers for variant elixirs described in Complete Arcane for D&D 3.5.

Monster: Rainbow Dragon

 Monster: Rainbow Dragon

This dragon's scales shine with all the colors of a rainbow. A large ruffled frill runs down both the top and bottom of its neck, giving way to a pair of sail-like wings that it holds together above its back, almost like the sail of a dimetrodon. A bony ridge that resembles a crown rises behind its nostrils, and two smaller frills give the appearance of finlike ears.
Rainbow dragons are among the most powerful of chromatic dragons. It is rumored that Tiamat created them to act as liasions between her other children. Their resistance to the various energy types employed by chromatic dragons lends credence to this theory.
The small, iridescent scales of a wyrmling rainbow dragon range in hue across the full spectrum. As it ages, its scales grow larger and the colors more brilliant. A rainbow dragon smells like hot metal.
Rainbow dragons tend to lair in ruins and caverns in flat, brightly-lit regions, such as plains and deserts. Rainbow dragons are extremely territorial, and frequently patrol areas they've claimed to eliminate intruders. They enjoy demanding tribute from nearby humanoid settlements, sometimes offering protection against other chromatic dragons which they would have driven off anyway.
Although rainbow dragons can subsist on nearly anything, they prefer to eat vibrantly colorful things or things displaying a wide range of colors.

The description was taken from ENWorld's Creature Catalog. This dragon should not be confused with an even more powerful prismatic dragon from the Epic Level Handbook. I've actually used a rainbow dragon in one of my games, but it never directly confronted the PCs. I can already feel the pain of reformatting this post in this apalling new interface.
