True Immortal (3.5e Template)

This template is made to work with the level adjustment dice variant rule.

True Immortal
Summary::A truly immortal creature, extremely hard to get rid off. Those with this template can survive a ridiculous amount of punishment. True immortality is very rarely bestowed, and when it is only very few benefit from it. It is said it is as much of a curse as a blessing, especially a curse when you get buried alive and your only hope of being freed is a landslide in a century or so.

Creating a True Immortal
The true immortal template is both an inherent and acquired template that can be applied to any living creature.

Size and Type: A true immortal's type and hit dice remain unchanged.

Ability Scores: A true immortal gain a +6 bonus on constitution. A true immortal creature also receive a +4 bonus on any one of it mental ability scores. Feat: A true immortal creature receives diehard, endurance and why won't you die as bonus feats even if she does not meet the prerequisites.

Saving Throw: A true immortal creature gain a +8 bonus on saving throws against disease, poison and [death] effect.

Special Qualities: A true immortal gain the following special qualities.

Ageless (Ex): A true immortal either stop aging when he acquired the template or in his early 30s (or racial equivalent) if the template is inherited. A true immortal cannot have it age magically changed.

Immortality (Ex): A true immortal creature cannot truly die, they survive indefinitely under 0 hit points (but it may take them a while to regenerate). Any effect that would leave them polymorphed or petrified is reverted after one day/caster level leaving them at -10 hit points. If a true immortal fail it save against a death-effect instead of slaying him outright it immediately drop him at -10 hit point. They do not die from having 0 constitution or having as many or more negative level than their current hit dice, however both situation leave them helpless until they can properly regenerate. The only way to get rid of them is often imprisonment or leaving them in situation they cannot escape. This immortality does not bypass any specific way of getting killed granted by other templates (such as beheading a highlander).

Redundant Biology (Ex): A true immortal automatically stabilize from dying and never take bleeding damage and have 25% fortification. If a true immortal loses his head to a vorpal weapon or similar effect, he does not die. His intelligence drops to 1 and he is blind and deaf, but he may continue fighting in such a state. Finally they never need to make massive damage saves.

Pseudo-Regeneration (Ex): A true immortal possess a powerful form of regeneration. Each round a true immortal creature heal hit point damage and nonlethal damage equal to half her HD+1, this may even heal hit point damage caused by starvation, suffocation, vile damage and whatnot. A true immortal creature will regrow lost limbs and cure status effects within 1d6+1 hours this ability cure anything that can be repaired by either the regenerate spell or greater restoration spell. Even if the body is totally destroyed it will regrow from nothing within 1d4 weeks.
