07-16-06, 02:30 PM Page 115 of the Savage Species book has an excellent template I looked at and is exactly what I'm looking for, for my character I'm designing. Since it's some what and older edition book, it explains why I was surprised at it's level adjustment of +1. I was wondering if there were any suggestions for a new level adjustment for the template by todays standards, or if anyone knew where to find that info if listed?

07-16-06, 03:09 PM there is a reason it is +1, as written the feral template is only supposed to grant you abilities based upon your BASE HD... it was not designed to grant more abilities as a creature adds class levels.

thus if you want to get the cooler abilities you need to take a creature with a higher BASE HD, and these generaly come with a LA of thier own that adds to the feral templates +1 (and also the higher racial HD hurts ECL as well).
