Fight Club Character Levels

[Kurtz Tote]

One of my players wanted to play a fight club creation. What level would the party have to be for the low level version of each of the following creations:

Depending on the race your player wants, there should be an "ECL" modifier for the particular race. Such as if you wanted to play a Drow from the Forgotten Realms setting, then your ECL goes up by three or four effectively making you a level 1 character requiring an opressive amount of experience for level 2.

But for a basis, the party should be of a level approximately equal the the challange rating of the monster/pc. A single monster of a challenge rating should roughly be an equal fight for a single pc of an equal character level. Now mind you, on occasion a pc of lower/higher level can often be more than equal for a particular challenge rating. But that's life. It happens.

For the dragonkin one I would say:

1. 10+ECL of half dragon
2. 16+ECL of half dragon
3. 20+ECL of half dragon



Take the base levels of the monster and add in the template's ECL.
