Yes. Although I was excited about the article at first, I'm starting to become more and more opposed to the ECLs it lists.
No, they are not a "match" for one another, but who cares...Wolfspider said:Do you really think that a 1st level lizardfolk fighter is the match for a 5th level human fighter?
No he won't. A 1st-level Lizardfolk Fighter has the same gear as any other 5th-level character.The human will have ... better equipment from being higher level.
That's not what ECL measures. ECL measures how useful and survivable a PC is in a party of other PCs. ECL does not measure how it would do in a one-on-one combat with another PC.
No he won't. A 1st-level Lizardfolk Fighter has the same gear as any other 5th-level character.
Wolfspider said:Really? I wasn't aware of this. Does this mean that a 1st level lizardfolk would be considered to have five character levels when it came to other effects, like healing of subdual damage and some special abilities? Just wondering.
