q 215. what is the level adjustment for the paragon template out of the epic level handbook?
A215: There's no official LA for it, but the consensus across various boards was that it was in the range of +15 to +20.
q 230. What was the formula used to figure that out? The example says ecl 26, but its with a mind flayer. my friend who is arguing with me says that since the mind flayer is ecl 15 from SS, that the resulting paragon template is only LA 11. Basing it off 26-15=11.
So obviously the template is way to powerful for only a LA 11. But he is still arguing with me.
So I guess my question is: with out a doubt, how do I make my friend realize that this template is NOT LA 11, and he is just a moron?
