The best I see for plants is added an LA1, 3RHD plant creature, the needlefolk (MM2 158). The elf-hating is amusing, too I do have a lingering feeling of a +1LA template that would work tho...
I enjoyed that.
The peasant army at level 2 is quite nice.
What are we to do with the Int -- part? I thought all PCs were required to have an intelligence of 3 (and that if it dropped below that it was boosted to it, but if it turned null then they were under the DMs control?). Either way vermin LA+0 is a great find.
sharn are added since they seem the ultimate ghestalt race.
Looked around more and yup they seem to be at the top.
The tibet LA yes i should have mentioned but I'm not sure if they are optimal at their niche. Thoughts on alternatives?
And are those outsider dwarves optimal at any particular range where they beat out warlocks?
Thanks prime but what I was after was if anyone knew if this was the most optimal playable magical beast race. Templates should be considered as well
Yeah, I'd much rather take the Forest Gnome for a SCM, and they're core (MM1).[/quote]Why? For pass without trace? or the +1 for combat or the extra hide?
whats the lowest ecl race with more than one pair of arms.
i remember one from dragon magzn that was a +1 or +2 i cant remember atm..
Anthropomorphic giant squid needs the amphibious template but is good to go at 8 arms for 3RHD and 1LA. I realize the aversion to anthro animals...
Do we have agreement that the Daelkyr half-blood is more optimal than the elan?
