Level Adjustment Templates

[iamtheend]

So I've been reading about Dark Creatures and Shadow Creatures that you can just apply to any Humanoid creature. Aside from like Vampire and being some Were-creature I don't know much about these other temples that might exist.

I want to play a Human and am curious what there is to offer for at most a +1 Level adjustment to add on. There a link to something with a bunch of these templates like crystal keep used to do with races?

I just want to weigh my options and see what kind of role playing flavor I can add.

Try this.

Feral is nice.

I tried to start a thread on this in January, but as you will see it died.

Draconic seems alright but Feral seems crazy. I've seen it before but never with complete attention to what it all said. I'm still looking through a bunch of these.

Suggestions would be good.

Interesting. The Half-Satyr template, as listed there, is different from the one originally in Dragon.

The Dragon version included some ability adjustments, didn't have any natural armor bonus, and was an LA +0.

Otherwise, good stuff!

I'm reading God-Blooded and don't understand something.

"Divine Endurance: A god-blooded creature can take a free action to gain damage reduction 10/— from the mingling of divine blood with its material form. The creature can suppress this ability with another free action. Once the damage reduction has prevented 40 points of damage, the creature loses all benefits of the god-blooded template, including this ability, except when otherwise noted."

Does that mean once it reaches 40 points it is gone permanently?

You understand it just fine. The special abilities keyed to the deities account for a LA of +1, since any ability one gets above their base race will wind up being at least a LA+1. The DR is last ditch, as noted by the sample creature's tactics; "Wishing to keep his divine talents, he activates his divine endurance only if he thinks he might lose the fight otherwise."

Odd. I'm looking in the Templates section, and I'm not seeing that one.

Am I looking in the wrong place?

Thing I find strange about that is that you don't renew your points but rather once they add up to 40 you just ruined your level adjustment.

Monster Manual 5 has on page 64 the God Blooded Template.

I'm confused by the OP, are you looking for templates that an individual can acquire after being born, in the sense that remaining long enough on the Plane of Shadow can grant the Dark template, and lycanthropy and Vampirism can be acquired my the respective magical diseases, or are you talking about all templates in general?
