Short answer: You have to subtract your racial HD from your total levels because they are effectively like taking levels in a class. Therefore you can only take 6 levels of classes with this race. Your base attack would be +9/+4 if you take those levels in ranger and barbarian. Long answer...

It's easier to think about it like this: would you rather do 1 point of damage more on average (longsword), or potentially crit 5% more of the time (scimitar)?

Very true, this is something I hadn't considered (in spite of looking for something like this). These stats are unlikely to show up RAW, which is dissapointing, but could also be seen as in my favor since nothing says that PCs cant do this, or that recalculation must be done (I would love to see...

Ok, so I'm looking at some character options and have come across pretty hard choice. What I have seen is that the Minotaur (mm1 pg188) and Goatfolk (raised to enough HD to increase size to large, mm3 pg63) are near identical as far as monsters go, and would like to see which one others would...

My apologies, that should have read the celestial template, the hyper-link was to the celestial template, but I said it was the half-celestial (the celestial template only changes it to magical beast). Noted and Fixed. I still don't understand the confusion with my initial question, but I think...

It's not a feat, but the Tempest prestige class from Complete Adventurer gets an ability at level 2 that lowers the penalty for TWF by 1. And again at 4th level for a total of 2 less. I don't know if you could get by with applying this to flurry of blows, but with two-weapon fighting definitely...

(self-quote) I'm glad we reached the same conclusion about not changing the creature type with templates before it could be added on. The two examples I provided do not change the creature type from the ones required to use the template, and thus would be "free-abilities" (if overlooked by the...

I think you are confusing the base humanoid with the base creature. They are the two halves to the tauric creature. The text states that the level adjustment of the template is the base humanoid's +3, therefore if you were to add level adjustment to the creature half, you wouldn't have to pay...

I'm looking at the monster manual II (3.0) and the update booklet that revises it to 3.5 (found here). In the book no level adjustment is listed. However, in the revision notes for tauric creatures it says that the level adjustment of a tauric creature is the base humanoid +3. So what I would...
