How about for templates? (like ghoul or dracoform)

Attribute increases from races and qualities happen before raising them with karma. Often, it's still cheaper like that (compared to baseline human).

With something like a ghoul this gets weird, would you start at -1 cha and have to raise it to 1?

No, you can never go below 1.

I think I had a brain fart there, yeah it would lower the max obviously.

Templates do get screwed, because templates cost BPx2 in karma and metatypes cost BP. It's actually not bad with the metatypes; higher stats are less good but they also cost relatively less.

This (higher exponential costs for higher Attributes, for metatypes with Attribute bonuses) was the reason why in original karmagen, you didn't pay metatype cost. However, even with the changes, metatypes don't get shafted too badly. In fact, humans are still one of the numerically weaker options in karmagen (although they do better than they do in build points).
