Then I'm not sure why or how they would be applied twice to a character. I'd have to look at the data file and the character file to see what's going on. If you want you can e-mail them to me and I'll check them out.

How do I get ahold of the data file? Or is that the template part?

When you use Save As -> Template in Data File it would be the Data File you chose to save the template into.

Ok, how do I find your email addy, and by character file, do you mean the character with the template added, or the character file used to make the template?

Both character files would be helpful. Zip all three files and you can send it to ericbsmith42@gmail.com

The template appears to be working exactly as it should. The issue seems to be that when you saved it as a Template you didn't chose the "hides" option, which is why the abilities are showing up twice on the character. "Hides" will hide the abilities in the other sections of the character so that they only show up in the Template section, like other Racial Templates (assuming you have the Show Components option enabled in the Templates section; otherwise they will be completely hidden).

A "true" Racial Template like the standard ones will have the Owns, Locks, and Hides options all checked when you Save as a Template. In addition, make sure to name the character, since the charter's name will be what's used for the Races name when you save.

I see what I was doing wrong now. Hopefully, now that I know what to do, I won't have further issues with racial templates. Thanks again for all your help!
