Templates which increase in power with level

[Oslecamo]

Actually, LA Buyoff is designed to address just that issue, by removing the LA at certain stages.

This. If you use LA buyoff, you're not worst than the caster who burns experience to craft items now and then. Thanks to the whole "experience is like a river" thingy, you can quickly recover the LA and have the same HD as the rest of the party.

Heck, I've even seen players who claimed they could get free low templates if the game was starting at mid-high levels, because that by then they should've been able to pay it off and recover.
