The CP of template's natural weapons is based on their quantity, template reach, sharpness and manual dexterity: 

;Quantity CP: Quantity CP is based on the ''total'' quantity of all of the template's natural weapons. No natural weapons (0 total quantity) is worth -50 CP. A single natural weapon (1 total quantity) is worth -20 CP. Two or more natural weapons is worth 0 CP.

;Template Range CP: The range of a natural weapon is worth 1 CP per meter.

Two or more padded natural weapons is worth 8 CP. For example, the sharpness of 10 razor blades (sharp) and 10 electro-shock tentacles (padded) would be worth a total of 38 CP (8 + 30.)
