Player Race List with LA +1 and LA +2
« on: July 02, 2009, 05:56:39 AM »

Nifty list, thanks for printing it :)  I don't think an exact list of 1HD races with +1 LA has been done, though there are the threads on "LAs that are really worth it" on gleemax.

By the way, half-ogre was updated in races of destiny to 0HD, +2 LA.  It's worth noting :(

Greensnake Naga (OA), +2 str, +4 dex, +4 con, +2 int, +2 wis, medium humanoid (reptilian)

Most creatures in OA (those who are under the monster list, not those in the PC race list of course) don't mention what's their LA. Is there any board or supplement that mentions the LA of said creatures? If not, how can I calculate it?

A Dragon Magazine article updates the LA for those creatures. Don't know off-hand though.

And what if a campaign uses OA but has forbidden the use of Dragon Magazine?

Obeah's races thread should have some more goodies for you.

LA Buy Off with LA+1s, is very simple to describe.
Party reaches level 4, you buy off the LA, you are now level 3.
Party reaches level 4+, you are now level 4.
Party reaches level 5+, you are now level 5.
etc until
around level 10, you have caught up in exp.
The difference in the exp numbers, in less than 1/2 of 1 encounter;
and this measures exp awards the exact same, for the whole party.

Even simpler-y put, LA+1 in bought off at level 4, and disappears by level 10.
At level 10, it is effectively a free level of stuff.

I looked up the Greensnake Naga.  What the hell were they thinking?  +14 to stats for LA+1 with no drawbacks?  This is on the same level as the Half Minotaur template at least.  That one at least does have the drawback of a hit to INT!

But the race doesn't give you a familiar.

What about draconic, feral, mineral warrior, shadow-walker and all the rest +1 templates? The list already has half-ogre and feytouched, so they should be ok as well.

Linguist, you lost me here, and it's probably because I don't often use OA or Dragon material.  What does having a familiar have to do with half-minotaurs or the Greensnake Naga?

The Half-ogre isn't a +1LA race anymore, the latest version of the race is from Races of Destiny, and that book lists it as +2LA.

Something that confuses me to no end:

Quote from: Eberron Campaign Setting
Empty vessels generally have the following ability scores before racial adjustments: Str 8, Dex 12, Con 10, Int 13, Wis 14, Cha 15.

It doesn't actually say what the racial adjustments are.

So, reverse engineer the example stats?

EDIT: Think they actually don't have any adjustments, since they're modded humans.

Stats are as human, but they all use the Elite Array instead of the 10/11 array.
