Each point of template toughness is worth 5 CP.

Template Power CP

Each point of template power is worth 10 CP.

Template Speed CP

1/4 speed is worth -30 CP. 1/2 speed is worth 0 CP. 1 speed is worth 30 CP. 2 speed is worth 60 CP. 3 speed is worth 90 CP.

Natural Armor CP

The CP of natural armor is 5 multiplied by the cover and absorption. For example, natural armor with 3 cover and 2 absorption is worth 30 CP.

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 -100 CP. A single natural weapon (1 total quantity) is worth 0 CP. Two or more natural weapons is worth 20 CP plus 5 times the total quantity. For example, 2 weapons would be worth 30 CP (20 + 5 x 2,) and 5 natural weapons would be worth 45 (20 + 5 x 5.)

• 10 CP per hand, -20 CP if the template has only one natural weapon, -50 CP if the template has no natural weapons

Template Reach CP

The reach of a template's longest natural weapon is worth 20 CP per meter, or 2 CP per tenth of a meter. The reach of that template's second-longest natural weapon is worth 10 CP per meter, or 1 CP per tenth of a meter. The reach of any shorter natural weapons that template may have is worth 0 CP.

Sharpness CP

Blunt sharpness is worth 0 CP. One sharp natural weapon is worth 100 CP, two or more sharp natural weapons is worth 150 CP. One padded natural weapon is worth 20 CP. Two or more padded natural weapons is worth 30 CP. For example, the sharpness of 10 razor blades (sharp) and 10 electro-shock tentacles (padded) would be worth a total of 180 CP (150 + 30.)

Manual Dexterity CP

A template's dexterity CP is 20 times the dexterity of the natural weapon with the best dexterity plus 10 times the dexterity of the natural weapon with the second-best dexterity. If the template has only one natural weapon, subtract 50 CP instead of 10 times the second best natural weapon's dexterity. If the template has no natural weapons, the template's dexterity CP is -150.
