I'm considering creating a Wizard character using the 'Symbiotic' template. However, I have a question about the mechanic:

As I understand it, for just a +1 Level Adjustment (LA), the character gains mental attributes, Special Qualities, potentinly an improvement of Base Saves, skills and and feats from the 'guest,' among other features. Is this LA completely independent of what is chosen as the 'guest'? Some creatures in mind: Faerie dragon (Small creature with LA+2) Wyrmling or Very young Shadow Dragon (Tiny or Small creature with LA+3)

I'm thinking of creating a character for an adventure and I want to use the "symbiotic" template, with two ideas in mind. The first could be that my character has lost an arm and the symbiote is 'replacing' it, and the second is to have a small or tiny creature on my shoulder like Minsc and Boo. My character would be human and would obviously need to have a guest with high intelligence (18 or more) for my wizard class. Additionally, I need guidance on understanding how the template functions in terms of Level Adjustment. What recommendations do you suggest for my "companion"?
