templates & skill points

Because both templates alter something, they would add the augmented subtype, so the half-dragon's type would read "Dragon (augmented humanoid)".

Ah ok, didnt think about augmented stuff and didnt see anything about it in the template entry in the d20srd. Gotcha.

Augmented Subtype

A creature receives this subtype whenever something happens to change its original type. Some creatures (those with an inherited template) are born with this subtype; others acquire it when they take on an acquired template. The augmented subtype is always paired with the creature’s original type. A creature with the augmented subtype usually has the traits of its current type, but the features of its original type.

That makes it so much clearer.
