Level 0 Anthropomorphs

[LoneWolf23]

Has anyone here worked on tweaking the anthropomorphic animal template to make the resulting creatures more balanced with other 0-level races such as the Elves or Humans?

I figure that reducing such characters' HD down to 1 would be a step in the right direction, but I'm unsure about natural attacks and the scent ability. The last one I know is worth a +1 level adjustment from Savage Species, but others...

Any advice?

i don't know, but how is the template from Tome of Horrors on this?
