Templates by level adjustment 3.5

Thread: 3. Thread Tools Show Printable Version. I had some time on my hands, so for those interested in stacking templates I sorted them into: type change, no type change, specific type change; and specific inputs.

Entries are further sorted by increasing LA as in the original list. Templates By Output: Spoiler. Type Change: Spoiler. One must be at least two size categories smaller then the other. Type Changes: Undead; Lose any subtypes it had. Type Changes: Unchanged. Last edited by rockdeworld; at PM. Re: 3. Replies 1 Views Dec 26, Galandris.

An Advertisement. Savage species presented a neat way to "advance" creatures with more than one racial hit die from level one, but for the most part I think it makes the characters underpowered.

If your DM doesn't mind the imbalance, you will eventually average out to the party's level, especially if using the standard XP rules, but even with the UA's level independent awards, you won't be far ahead as it still requires much more xp to level as you get higher. 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.
