The only paragon i can think of is from the unearthed arcana and paragons are racial classes

Paragons are in UA, ELH, and in Monte Cook's Arcana Evolved. I think the one you want was the one from the Epic Handbook.

Here is a link to the SRD where it can be found: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/monsters/paragonCreature.htm

I would go with the one from the epic level handbook.

Look at the Paragon Mindflayer and it gives you the template right after it.

Plus there is no Level Ajustment for a paragon (in the ELH).

That means that it's "LA: --", not that it's "LA: +0". Paragon wasn't intended for players. In the case you do use it, put it at about 18.

As the ELH doesn't give it an LA, I'm going to stick with LA+0 as the template in Etools is LA+0 as well.

Sorry but this is completely absurd.Do you mean that you get all these benefits for free?I don't think so.Use the savage species to come up with a level adjustment for the paragon template.My calculation made it a +15 if not higher.

You are aware that a first level paragon half-elf commoner can destroy every cr1 creature in existence by itself right? Also its AC would be 39 before including its massive dex bonus, it will have more HP then a barbarian with 18 con, Its attack bonus is higher then a first level fighter with 20str weapon focus and a +5 weapon, Its SR can't be beaten by a caster below 15th level and that requires taking feats. These are inappropriate abilities for a first level character

It would be fun though :D

I see what you mean though, it looks like there going to have to fix it whenever they release a ELH v3.5 I suppose.

I was going to have so much fun in the epic campiagn as well.....My DM might let me get away with it as if you bring the book your template/feats are in and he see's them he lets them be used.....I might have to beg in this case though:D

Not being given a level adjustment means it shouldn't be used for players, normally. It doesn't mean its level adjustment is zero.

The Paragon template easily surpasses the Monster of Legend template, that has an LA +7. The Paragon template is easily LA +10.

Edit: After rereading the template, it is LA +12 or higher
