Any Good LA+0 templates?

[xeno121]

I'm looking for good LA+0 templates if they exist.

I'm looking for good LA+0 templates if they exist.

Magic Blooded(or was it magic in the blood?)

-2 wis
+2 Cha

Great for Lesser Assimar CHA casters

[Agita]

Unseelie Fey, of course. -2 Str, +2 Dex, -2 Con, +2 Cha, a bunch of cool abilities, +0 LA.
As (I think) TML once said, it's like parmesan - cheese that goes on anything!

I maintain that that was a printing error. Even as an LA - template it's still pretty weird (random chance of getting wings and blindsense? huh?)

A hilarious one, though. For us min-maxers, anyway.

Dragonborn

+2 con, -2 dex, choice of wings, breath weapon, or eventually tremorsense

Also dragonblood subtype, which qualifies you for some cool stuff. You do lose most of your original race's stuff though, so make sure it's the first template you apply.

Hellbred may or may not be a template, it is unclear as to how it is supposed to be added on to a character whether it is a new race they are reincarnated as or it is added on in addition to old traits. Run it by your DM, Fiendish codex II

A LA+2 template on a warforged and incarnate construct.

Or vice versa


The other LA+0 racial variants in dragon 306 are somewhat situational.

Wilderness dwellers gets +1 skill point per level (doesn't stack with human), has some skill bonuses/penalties, gets a tiny speed boost, and +2 str, -2 int&cha. 

Desert-dwellers get a tiny bonus to saves against fire effects, and a tiny penalty against cold effects (even though deserts get really cold at night.  Seriously WTF), a racial bonus on a couple of skills and create water 1/day

Ice-dwellers get a tiny bonus to saves against cold effects, tiny penalty against fire effects (at least it makes sense this time), a racial bonus to a couple of skills and ray of frost 1/day
More importantly, +2 con, -2 cha.  Pretty cool

Water-dwellers get a swim speed, can only breathe water (no air), replace current vision type with low light, have some racial bonuses and penalties to skills, and get a -1 to everything outside of water.

Dragon 306, like the others TML mentioned.

You mean -2, right?

Aquatic Creature from Stormwrack gives -2 Dex, swim speed, and the amphibious special quality for LA+0.

I think he means "-2 from Incarnate Construct +2 from LA +2 template=LA+0"

Which is hard to do, since it's applied after birth (you turn into one).  Pesky.  But Dragonborn Kobolds are so awesome!

Well, a lot of templates breed true.

Is that ever covered if you can be born a well, "dragon born"

In the section on Dragonborn they cover it, but I don't recall exactly one they say. I think it doesn't happen but people like making little eggs and putting babies in them.

[JaronK]

Indeed, Dragon Born as far as I can tell are not in fact capable of breeding true.  You have to become one.  They are "reborn" as a dragon, not born originally as one.

If you're allowed to use third party material, "Template Troves - Diseases, Parasites and Symbiotes" has two LA +0 'templates', which are actually symbiotic creatures that can technically get angry and leave. Which is probably how they lose their LA, but for the most part what they want is to 'see the world', so to speak. Which adventurers do in spades.

Sanguinous: Applies to humanoid or monstrous humanoid. Replaces your blood with living sentient liquid that does the blood thing for you. You gain: Immunity to bleed effects and you don't bleed when cut. No longer needs to breathe (the sanguinous creature oxygenates itself for you automatically). Use less food/water (starts starving at one week). +2 Str. Great Fortitude feat for free.

Spectator: Applies to humanoid or monstrous humanoid. Replaces your blood with eye-shaped dudes that are basically living sentient eyeballs. Of awesome. Gains: Telekinetic at will. Darkvision. Resistance to illusions. Lowlight vision. +2 Wis. Alertness feat for free. +4 on Search and Spot.

Silverthorne's done some interesting books, although I liked their Book of Templates Deluxe Edition best for actual player-use templates. Their three template trove books seem more useful for making unique monsters or unusual abilities.
