Template Guidelines

== Template Guidelines ==
Templates are added to your character, applied at certain levels that raise your ECL by a certain CR. They should flush out the flavor and help the character be better-rounded. You can either make your own or adapt one of the monster templates. Do not rely on the CR Paizo assigns to monster templates, they are not accurate to players or gestalt. You can have up to two templates for a total of a +5 increase. You apply for a template with the Enjin, following the instructions on the forums under Character Requests. The Balance Team reviews, edits, and approves the template assigning final CR and level you acquire templates. Once approved you purchase your template slot on the Enjin in the RP Store for 200 RP for the first template then 500 RP for the second. 
The only exception to this is the first time you apply for the Advanced Template. You can purchase it in the RP store for 200 RP and it automatically applies to your character at level 7.  
There are several tiers in which you can gain a template. The following table is a guide but not guaranteed.
CR	Character Level
7 	
7 	
9 	
12	
15	
A +4 and +5 template requires you to purchase the second template slot on the Enjin for RP.
Templates can include several buffs to the characters. Some examples are as follows:
Armor Class Increases- Will only allow +4 Dodge or +5 Natural Armor at max.
Special Quality and Defenses (Senses, DR, SR, Etc)
Speed Increases
Special Abilities
Feats (Max 3 across both templates)
Ability Score Increases.
Templates have a point pool based on their CR increase. Note this is not a point buy, this is one for one. Use the following table for your stats.
CR	Point Pool	Physical Cap	Mental Cap
14	8 	8 	
18	8 	8 	
24	8 	8 	
36	12 	8 	
48	12 	8 	
If you have any questions or need advice do not be afraid to ping or message any of the balance team.
