==Ka-Tainted Template==
For reasons of space, the Ka-tainted template only lists a few species of dinosaur for possible benefits; at a DM's prerogative, other dinosaur species may grant similar abilities, or even unique ones.

::Applicable to: Giant, Humanoid, Monstrous Humanoid
::Speed: Gain a 20ft Swim Speed if an ''Elasmosaurus'' was used. Otherwise unchanged.
::Armor Class: +2, or +4 if a ''Triceratops'' was used.
::Attack: Certain species of dinosaur grant the Ka-Tainted a Natural Attack, doing damage indicated on the table below.
:::''Deinonychus or Megaraptor'': Two Claw Attacks, provided by razor-sharp hooked claws on the feet.
:::''Triceratops'': A Gore Attack, provided by two horns on the head.
:::''Tyrannosaurus'': A Bite Attack, provided by an enlarged, bestial jaw. Tyrannosaurus Ka-tainted gain the Improved Natural Attack (Bite) feat as a bonus feat; the table below does not take this into account.
::Special Attacks: Blood of Ka (Su): The blood of a ka-tainted creature acts as a Contact Poison (DC 10 + 1/2 Ka-tainted's racial Hit Dice + Ka-tainted's [[Constitution]] modifier). Initial damage: 1d6 [[Intelligence]] damage, 1d4 [[Constitution]] damage. Secondary Damage: 1d6 [[Intelligence]] damage, 1d4 [[Constitution]] damage. A ka-tainted's blood becomes inert and harmless 24 hours after it leaves the creature's body. Ka-tainted can use their blood to envenom their weapons. Creatures who injure Ka-tainted with non-reach handheld weapons or natural weapons that deal slashing or piercing damage are exposed to the Blood of Ka. Ka-tainted are not hurt by their own blood, but can be hurt by the blood of other Ka-tainted.
::Special Qualities: A Ka-tainted creature gains the Low-light Vision and Scent bilities. A ''Triceratops'' Ka-tainted creature also gains the Stability quality, as per the [[Dwarf]] racial trait.
::Abilities: +4 [[Strength]], +2 [[Constitution]], +2 [[Intelligence]].
::Skills: A ''Deinonychus or Megaraptor'' Ka-tainted gains a +2 racial bonus to Hide, Jump, Listen, Spot and Survival checks. An ''Elasmosaurus'' Ka-tainted gains a +2 racial bonus to Hide checks when in water.
::Feats: A Ka-tainted creature gains Toughness as a bonus feat. A ''Tyrannosaurus'' Ka-tainted also gains Improved Natural Attack (Bite).
::Challenge Rating: +1
::[[Level Adjustment]]: +3

===Ka-Tainted Feats===
Clawed Spell [([[Metamagic]])
::'''Prerequisite:'' Ka-tainted, Weapon Focus (touch)
::'''Benefit:''' When you cast a Touch spell, regardless of if it does not normally inflict damage, you generate claws of force that inflict +1d6 Force Effect damage per five caster levels that you possess. Spells prepared with this Metamagic use up a spell slot one level higher than normal.

Megaraptor's Leap (General)
::'''Prerequisite:'' Ka-tainted (Deinonychus/Megaraptor), Jump 5 Ranks, Run
::'''Benefit:''' You need to move only 10 feet to get a running start for a jump check, and jump checks made without a running start only multiply the DC by 1.5 instead of by 2.

Piercing Spell ([[Metamagic]])
::'''Prerequisite:'' Ka-tainted
::'''Benefit:''' When you cast a Touch Attack-based spell, ignore the target's Deflection Bonus to Armor Class. Spells prepared with this Metamgic use up a spell slot one level higher than normal.

Predator's Step (General)
::'''Prerequisite:'' Ka-tainted, Move Silently 5 Ranks, Run
::'''Benefit:''' The penalty to Move Silently checks made while moving faster than one-half your speed is reduced by 5. This does not apply to penalties accrued through other sources.

Rage of the Raptor (General)
::'''Prerequisite:'' Ka-tainted, [[Barbarian|ability to rage]], [[Dexterity]] 13
::'''Benefit:''' When you rage, you can choose to use the Rage of the Raptor instead of a standard rage. The Rage of the Raptor grants you +4 [[Dexterity]], +4 Constitution]], +10 feet to base land speed, -2 to Will saves, and allows you to continue using Dexterity-based skils whilst raging. If you have the Greater Rage ability, you gain +6 Dex & Con and +20 feet speed, and if you have the Mighty Rage ability, you gain +8 Dex & Con and +30 feet speed. In all other aspects, this functions exactly the same as a standard rage.

Triceratop's Charge (General)
::'''Prerequisite:'' Ka-tainted (Triceratops), Base Attack +3
::'''Benefit:''' When you charge, you may choose to either make a gore attack as a secondary natural attack in addition to your normal attack, or you can choose to only make a gore attack, in which case it becomes a primary attack that deals double damage.
