I need an estimated level adjustment for this template. Any help would be appreciated.

Template: Dark

These are creatures made for one simple purpose: to snuff out all life as we know it. They are beings that wear the very essence of evil like a second skin whose darkness comes to permeate to their very soul. Only recently have these foul beings invaded our plane of existence. These are servants to a proto-god that represents all that is evil and now wishes to reestablish his rule over the planes, beginning with the material. Now that this ur-god has made his appearance he has begun sending his minions to do nothing but make war and to destroy all life, or remnant of life.

A creature is made dark through unholy rights known only to the high priests of this forgotten being. Any creature that is dark loses all sense of self and become mindless puppets meant to serve the will of their god or creators. They appear as black holes against any background, and are invisible to dark vision because they are the very essence of darkness. Whatever shape the creature had before obtaining the dark template it retains.

-+1 for unblanaced abilites
-+1 for fear aura
- +1 for blindsense
- +1 for DR 30/-
