A '''champion''' is a general, a leader, or some kind of creature intended to be a difficult challenge. This template is designed to be easily applicable on the fly but still significantly increase the creature's durability and moderately enhance its power. The fate point system is intended to prevent individual attacks from single-handedly taking out the champion, but still allow those attacks to cause lasting harm. Boss creatures with this template applied should be much more difficult for the PCs to defeat in the opening rounds of combat, preventing anticlimactic combats in which the boss is knocked out by one bad roll on a ~~Glitterdust~~.

And yes, a lot of this was indeed stolen from [[D20r:Elite Creature]]. The biggest change here is the addition of Favored by Destiny, which, combined with a few minor tweaks all around, ultimately brought this up to CR +2 instead of +1. While any bandit leader or hobgoblin sergeant might potentially be considered '''elite''', the '''champion''' template is meant to be saved for at least a recurring villain or an adventure miniboss, if not the BBEG himself.
