These templates are based almost entirely upon Athas.org's Champion of Rajaat template. They've been scaled a bit to represent the three levels and tweaked here and thier to fit better with my own skewed idea of Athas. I've submitted them here for the community to review and use. These are my first real attempt at templates so any help would be greatly appreciated. I may add a Lens Connection to the Champion and Chosen templates to back up my views on Sacha and Wyan and add in some immunites or abilities I've thought about such as Champions unable to harm each other.

*This is basically Athas.org’s Champion template. The only changes were the addition of the Magical Conversion and a modification of the Signature Spells to better mesh with Magical Conversion. The Addition was made to allow the SMs increased latitude and power in spellcasting. CR and LA probably need to be adjusted to compensate though.

*I’m considering a Duel Genocidal Focus so humans could be a second focus for Hamanu. I’ve also added Touch of Rajaat so that it’s easier for him to kill a Champion and granted increased immunities to make him harder to kill. I’m not sure about his Damage Reduction though and his increased damage and regeneration may be a bit overpowered.
Nice work. I had a similar concept but made it into a three level PrC a while ago. Check the link beneath my signature if you're interested.
I saw that before but I felt that Rajaat would have atempted to infuse his greatest warriors with even more power. I have used the PrC for both Irikos and a rather nasty kaisharga from the Cleansing Wars. She had been assigned by Irikos to hunt down a specific preserver for discovering a powerful spell but before she could kill him he passed the spell on to his apprentice, a practice carried out by each preserver down the line until present day and guess who had the misfortune to be trained by one of those line?
I saw the PrC as more a dedicated preserver hunter then anything else and sorta nicked it for a small cadre of specially trained hunters led by Irikos.
