Okay, I just did some testing and there is a way to get some of the functionality of templates into e-tools. So here is a brief explanation of how you can do it.
First create a race for the template. If the template can accept things of different sizes you have to make on race for each size.
Second there seems to be a problem in the table generator with jumping to the character editor with custom races, so move the race to the core folder.
Third create a table to change a character's race.
Afterwords you can use the table generator to change the race of of the character. Then jump to the character editor and it is all there.
Notes on this procedure:
1. This will not work well for all templates, specifically the lycanthrope template will be hard to do this way.
2. This will not work with monsters but it does work with characters.
3. I am not sure how well it will work with the half-fiend, half-celestial, fiendish, celestial templates that get powers based on hit dice.
4. It will not change the hit-dice/hit points of the character. And you may have to do some minor tinkering with the ability scores.
Also on a related note, you can use a similar table to create a Great Wyrm Gold Dragon with 20 levels of wizard as well, or change your race if you are the subject of a reincarnate spell, etc.
