Pearl Buttercup, Level 1 & Thanks to my Patrons!

It’s time to present my own character. At least, the latest version of her. Does she resembles me? Read to the last level before answering...
Also, this is the day of the month when I publicly thank my patrons who donate at least $3 every month  my Patreon page. So thank you very much, Zabor and Cecil Maye! You keep me going on this adventure!

Simple Monster Template: Dream-Touched

The alebrije was one of the last monster templates to appear for the 1st edition of Pathfinder. When I saw it, my reaction was: “Aaaaaargh! Why didn’t they do it EARLIER?” I always wished for a rainbow butterfly unicorn kitten familiar, and now I could at last... no, wait. Alebrije is not an allowed  template for familiars. And there was no time left for designers to create a lessened version that was fit.
Well, what the duck. I did it myself.
And now I can cuddle my rainbow butterfly unicorn kitten.

Simple Template: Dream-Touched (CR +0 or +1)

A creature can assume the dream-touched template much in the same way as others become alebrije. Beloved pets invested by the power of imagination or transformed into imaginary friends after their demise become partly a product of their masters’ minds. A spellcaster of at least 3rd level with the Improved Familiar feat can choose a dream-touched creature as a familiar.

A dream-touched creature’s CR increases by +1 only if the base creature has 5 or more HD.
A dream-touched creature’s quick and rebuild rules are the same.

Rebuild Rules

Type the creature counts as both its base type as well as a magical beast (extraplanar) for any effects related to type; Senses gains darkvision 60 ft. and dreamsight; Defensive Abilities gains DR and energy resistance as noted on the table below; SR gains SR equal to its new CR +5; Speed gains a fly speed of 20 feet (average). If the dream-touched creature has 11 Hit Dice or more, it gains a fly speed of 40 feet (average) instead. If the creature already has a fly speed it improves its maneuverability by one step instead.

Table: Dream-Touched Creature Defenses

Hit Dice	Resist Cold and Fire	DR
1–4	5	—
5–10	10	5/magic
11+	15	10/magic
