Do SM/Other discounts to attributes affect Racial Template Prices for Alt Form?
I am a SM+8 Foo who has no additional racial ST; Average ST for whatever reason is 10.
I have purchased ST+ 10(-80%)[20] What is the cost of Alternate Form (Human)? Does it account for the fact that I would have paid 80 more points for the ST if I were just human?

It almost certainly should, yes.
Though, uh, SM+8 racial ST 10 is weird.

On the one hand, it looks like it might be an exploitable loophole in the edge cases, on the other, this looks like a real cumbersome thing to deal with, a la enhancing natural attacks via the method mentioned in Powers. Obviously, no one is going to make a template that is "a normal human that just so happens to be SM+8," but with enough creativity you can probably come up with a "magic dextrous boa constrictor with tons of SM, ST, and DX and no fine manipulators, that can turn into a human form" which also has the same potential edge case.

It is, however, horribly easy to abuse ... But by raw, you ignore any racial bonus/malus and you add your non-racial bonus/malus levels, ignoring point cost and relative levels. Hope this help, Celjabba |

Needless to say, I wouldn't allow the obvious point crock of someone saying "I want a race that has no manipulators and alternate form (human)," but the possibility amuses me.
