A Template should contain some unique element or otherwise it should be minimized and made as generically useful as possible. This is sort of why I don't like Templates.They tend to be restrictions on my ability to make the character I want rather than aids.
This is a DF Template, so I don't think there really are any Advantages I can add to the template that aren't otherwise available, but they will have access to the special Elf rules in DF (three extra levels of Magery) and the Sense of Duty (Nature) doesn't count against the Disadvantage limit.

Beyond that I'll be making Racial Templates mandatory and they'll all have the same cost. A possibility is reducing racial cost down and making up the difference with a cultural template.
