Copeab and Adm. Lee ably answered your query. The template is like a "suggestion" on how a typical character of a given race, profession or type (eg. imperial guardsman, marine raider, elven archer, etc...) would look like. It details what would be reasonable attributes, advantages, disadvantages and skills for said character. Templates can be "stacked" or modified depending on what character you want, the number of points of the character being the main (but no the only) limitation on mixing and matching.
