This is the result of the thread of spirit Template? Nice job! I only suggest transform the options in some lenses.

Thanks.

Lenses. I may do that eventually, but the Spirit Form adv. in 3e contained no lenses. It was very piece-meal like this. Right now I'm just working to convert the 3e to 4e as truthfully has possible.

Now on to some of the specific 3e spirit templates converted to 4e.

Looking at page 37 of Spirits you need to add: Doesn’t Breathe [20]; Doesn’t Eat or Drink [10]; Immunity to Metabolic Hazards [30]; as spirit form included the 3rd Ed equivalents.

Yeah, you're right. I missed that in my initial reading due to them not being listed under the discussion of Spirit Form. I'll adjust the template in a moment.
