Half-eladrin template class: Thoughts or suggestions?

So, one of my players wants to take on a half-celestial template via class levels, which certainly meshes with his backstory, and would actually be slightly underpowered compared with his current character, so it's not too big a deal. But, thematically, well, it sucks. His character's history is most definitely tied in with Arborea, but the half-celestial class is banally unrelated to any of the actual celestials listed in the MM.

To that end, I've put together a half-eladrin template class. I've separated things by individual changes for ease of examination. I'd really likely to hear from y'all about whether this seems balanced with similar template classes (search for "Savage Progressions" on the Wizards website), and whether the spell-like abilities seem thematically appropriate (I drew almost entirely from the Ghaele and Bralani spell-like abilities).

Abilities:
Resistances:
SR:
DR:
Other:
Spell-Like Abilities:
Daylight gaze (Su): A half-eladrin can, at will, cast from his eyes a 60-foot cone of light mimicking the spell daylight for all purposes except shape.

And... a bump to see if I can get any interest in this...

Consider the above duly noted =).

I went over you class at it looks pretty decent. I note that you are missing an explanation of the 3rd level Tongues ability and the 4th level alternate form ability. Also based on the DR progression of half-celestials a half-eladrin should have DR 5/cold iron11th level or less, and DR 10/cold iron at 12th level or higher.

Finally, I happen to own the Book of Exalted Deeds, which contains the coure, firre, and tulani eladrins. Based on the information given there I came up with a slightly different ability score bonus and spell-like ability progression than yours.

I have attached a .pdf file containing an actual half-eladrin template (as well the template via monster class levels) based on the ideas above, the information found in the MM & BoED, and my own twisted imagine. Also included in the .PDF file is my take on the alternate form ability for the half-eladrin.
