Creating an Electric magebreed
'Electric magebreed' is a template that can be acquired or inherited and can be applied to any creature (referred to hereafter as the base creature).
A electric magebreed creature uses all the base creature’s statistics and abilities except as noted here. Do not recalculate the creature’s Hit Dice, base attack bonus, saves, or skill points if its type changes.
Size and Type
Animals or vermin with this template become magical beasts, but otherwise the creature type is unchanged. Size is unchanged. Electric creatures gain the electricity subtype. Electric creatures encountered outside the elemental plane of electricity also have the extraplanar subtype.
Armor Class
The base creature gains +4 natural armor bonus
Damage
The creature gains two claw attacks if it did not already have them and the damage is as follows:
