here's the silvak class. The racial traits are the same as my bozak one, below. I also aren't detailing the class features, as they're pretty obvious except for Spell resistance, which is 10 + hit dice. tell me what you think.

The silvak’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Diplomacy (Cha), Disguise (Cha), Gather Information (Cha), Jump (Str), Intimidate (Cha), Listen (Wis), Search (Int).

maybe i am not looking at making monster characters correctly, but isn't the Sivak, at full potential without classes equivalent to a fifth or sixth level character? It lists its level adjustment as a 4 (i think).

To be played as a character though, I will say the Sivak, as a class looks good but it would make Slith a 20th level character with a cr of 16.

A silvak, at full potential, has 6 hit dice and a +4 level adjustment, which makes it a level 10 equivalent character. Monster classes are built to have as many levels as it's ECL. So the silvak monster class must have 10 levels to be true to the creature write-up.
To go further, a level 20 Silvak (using this class) is a level 10 silvak/10 fighter (or whatever). IE the 10 monster class levels, and 10 levels of something else.
