The Half golem - what is its LA?
« on: July 18, 2010, 07:29:07 PM »
I'm thinking of playing a half-golem in an upcoming gestalt game and need to figure out what it's LA would be.

Since the Half-Golem template is in MMII, I have no idea.  A 1st level humaniod with the half-golem template applied has a CR 4. 

Any ideas?

AFAIK, it has no listed LA.

Even with the 3.5 update they have no LA.

However, like spellstiched there are rules for having the template applied. I like to assume that there is no LA as all the costs are done in gp.

I like to assume that too, ut I don't know how RAW that is.

OP, do you want an LA assigned by us? Because that's all we can do: guess.

It should definitely have one. Ran a game with two PCs in it that went half-golem, and the power difference wasn't noticeable until the party had the bag of high artifact weaponry they were using removed. Trust me, it has an LA.

I'd guess at least a +2 for most of them, mainly because of the spell immunity abilities alone.

A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.

Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
Behind door number 2: A magic crown!
Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY!
They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.

Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.

Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...
Best metaphor I have seen in a long time.  I give you much fu.

I think Pathfinder has novel rules involving the use of CR where LA isn't mentioned.

>Since [the Half-Golem template] is in MMII, I have no idea.
I don't understand what is meant by this sentence.
