For example, in savage species the feral template gains more abilities depending on hit dice, but does it mean total hit dice(monster/character/etc) or just monster hit dice as my friend is saying? Secondly, if you have for example a phenric monster(expanded psionics template) and it mind switches with a creature that already has the psionic subtype, what happens? Phenric states that it cant be put on a creature with the psionic subtype, but the creature didnt orginaly have the subtype when getting the template. and last but not least, again concerning the mind switch power(true, again from expanded psionics) i know its in the spell but the differences of extrodinary qaulities/abilites, special qaulities/abilities, and spell like abilites, has always confused me when used for things like mind switch and polymorph, so if you could, what do you keep and lose and gain? thank you.

(Also I believe that it is only Monstrous Hit dice, and you keep non physiologically changing abilities (You loose sight in a form without eyes... Check the spell discription for extroardinary, supernatral, special qualities, but off the top of my head, you don't get them for polymorph. I don't know for mind switch)
