DM, that sounds like a lot of penalties! What exactly am I getting in return for having to deal with such a penalty? Well Jimmy, its actually pretty simple. These templates have quite a bit of power behind them, with massive stat increases 6 total stat increases thats worth rep people for half-fey, and a whopping 18 stat increases Worth REP!
Amazing right? Clarification: If you choose -not- to spend XP at a LA buyoff point, you can not buyoff a Level Adjustment at a later point in time and must wait for the next Level Adjustment point to come around. Share on. Edit History Tags Source.

I believe some here have suggested using level loss through negative levels to offset the RHD by getting drained down to 1, then taking a class level, thus replacing the 1st HD with your desired class.
Apathy is My Homebrew. I'm not going to get into whether that convoluted mess is RAW or not. What's the nature of the campaign this character would play in? I did indeed give a very illogical example, sorry.
Can you use level Drain in order to get this done under 20th level, or at least accelerate the process a bit?? Is ECL This was a generic question, but assume it's a campaign. You can't retroactively apply LA reduction. Yep, I read that. That's why I linked to it in my first post. Your highlighting suggests that you think the original LA always affects what levels LA can be bought off at.
The text says that the process is recurring, and uses the new LA to calculate how many levels until it can be done again. I agree that RAI you have to gain more levels in order to do it again, otherwise you could just pay all the levels at once. The interaction with level loss is what I'm asking after, here. Why not? He's gained the requisite number of levels. This is obviously an attempt at an end run around punishing LA's. However, where I think the calculation is flawed; when adjusting monster CR, you don't count racial hit die as one for one.
In fact, most count as 4 per 1. If you are considering playing a character with a monster race that has racial hit dice, you might talk with your DM about what that amounts to.
Somehow that math seems a bit off to me :. I would suggest a good house rule for making a character with racial hit dice would be to count the racial hit dice in a similar manner; that is, level adjustment plus PC class levels plus the same for racial hit dice as the Table: Improved Monster CR Increase adds to CR. That sounds much more accurate to me as a DM, at least as far as how effective this character would be compared to other players of the same character level without level adjustments.
If you made this change, I would suggest using ECL for feat acquisition and ability score increases as well since ECL may be lower than total hit dice. Sign up to join this community.
