D&D 3.x Savage Species Templates in D&D 3.5

[JustKim]

I don't see anything in those that would be affected by the rules change, but that doesn't speak for the balance of any of them, just that they're usable in 3.5.

How would you adjust them for balance then?

I'd use the acid test in the same book for reference. Feral has been suggested at LA +3, which I agree with. The various anthromorphic builds need to be handled individually and largely redone in terms of LA. The baleen whale for instance is LA +0, just 3 monstrous humanoid HD (Which are pretty good) for +8 Strength, +4 Dexterity, +4 Constitution, +4 Wisdom and +9 natural armor. No thought went into that.

Having not really used the other templates I can't suggest much for them.

Anoyone else have any further thoughts on these?
