[QUOTE="TheBard, post: 119018, member: 2821"] Yeah, that's for sure. The ECL for a Raven is listed at 2 and has a -8 STR mod. Flying is a fantasic ability, but I don't think it is worth _that_ much! Anyway I think they erred on the side of higher ECLS than lower ones. Has anyone seen the reincarnation "problem" addressed by WOTC? Seems like it's ripe for abuse -- esp. in some of the "Living" campaigns. I could see some munchkin hoping for that brown bear fighter -- esp if ecls were not used to assign new level thresholds. I hate to argue both sides of the issue here, but I just thought of something. I like the idea of ECLS, the big problem I see with using them is that the character is loosing out on HD, saves and skills that normally go along with using ECLs. If my 7th level fighter comes back as a centaur he'd be 13 th level (6 th fighter + 7 ecl = 13) , but he would not have the HD, skills and Saves of both his class and race as a centaur that had taken 6th levels of fighter. Perhaps a compromise? [/QUOTE]
