Switches, Template, LA & XPs

[Jugonshi]

I am trying to adjust the switches so that LA works. My current switch configurations related races are,

44  PRC_XP_USE_SIMPLE_LA                    int        1
45  PRC_XP_USE_SIMPLE_RACIAL_HD             int        1
53  PRC_XP_USE_SIMPLE_RACIAL_HD_NO_FREE_XP  int        1

When I used an Orog 1st-level duskblade and killed a gnoll in a training module, he gained 50 XPs.
Then I gave him half-celestical template (meant to LA +4) and killed a gnoll. The game still gave him same 50 XPs.
Am I missing something?

I'm not sure, but I believe I read that the PRC didn't get around to installing LA with templates. It works fine with races, but I don't think it acknowledges templates at all.

Hmm .. the strange thing is, when recruiting a cohort, the LA from template seems to be counted. For example, a PC of a base race of LA +0 (say, human) with Half-Celestial template gets a cohort 4 levels higher.

I think the cohorts were designed by a different person, but yes, you are right. I have noticed this phenomenon as well.
