3.5 and LA

[Sargon]

i have recently gotten a hold of the 3.5 MM and my one prevailing thought is.

i am not doing LA in accordance with 3.5

looking threw the MM i see that d**n near everything has like player stats.

and they have things a good bit more powerful then i would have them be.

for example.

look at the stat adjustment of the Ogre
+10 str, -2 dex, +4 con, -4 Int, -4 Cha

here is how i was doing it. i was thinking that each +2 in the physical stats was Balanced out with eather a -2 in the physical stats or a -4 in the Mental stats.

under that logic if you equal out the mental stats with the physical stats, this char still have a +8 spread out

think of the stats as counting by 2s

the str is a 5, then take away the 1 from the des, then add the 2 from the con, and since i was thinking that strange balance thing about the physical and the mental stats you would take 1 away for the int and 1 away for the cha.

5-1+2-1-1= 4

in my mind this makes sense,

but i know it makes no sense to any reading it.

so basically the races in nightkord are going to be a tad more powerful now that i have switched to 3.5

basically i want the chreaters in nightkord to be equal with the creaturs in 3.5

the shedora will however not have a change to it, i think its perfect.

You do remember you add the LA to the creatures Hit Dice.
The ogre has 4 hit dice you add the +2 LA for a total of 6 hit dice.

So the effective character level is 6 for an ogre A creatures natural hit dice count as levels and they effect the outcome of the ECL. The savage species actually goes over the process of making an Ogre a ECL 6 character.
Giant hit dice are not as good as class levels.

and that is the way i likes it!!

another thing in 3.5 it is mentioned on page 290 at the bottom

all types have a number of feats equal to 1 + 1 per 3 HD

my question is in ricks campign are we useing 3.5? and do we have that many feats in accordance with the 3.5 type feats for our dragon levels?

i honestly forgot... people jsut said "you got this many feats" i said "really?" and they replied "yeah you do dumbass now shut that mouth" then they hit me in the back of the head and did was i was told.

i never cheaked ^_^

[Lord Kain]

Well I'd have to look at your sheet to be postive but I'm fairly sure you all are doing the feats right.

[Master Spellblade]

All PC's have one feat every three levels, including racial hit dice, it supervents the normal amount.

Feh, like dragons really need that much.

[Lord Kain]

You can't have to many feats

[Sargon]

im in compleat agreement with waht lordkain jsut said
