Dropping Str by +2, increasing the Dex penalty and putting a -2 on 2 mental stats would probably drop it to +1. I would advise against doing this, though. I suggest you add a little something (maybe a bonus feat and a +2 to Con) to make it a worthwhile +2 race. Edit: since they live amongst...

Type should be Giant probably. ECL +2, CR 1 Would prefered class: BBN not be more likely? (unless these are merely the Athasian half-giants). Make that Con 14, or make it a 2 HD race (either one won't raise the ECL, both would be pushing it close to +3), so they don't get felled so easily...

Right! ;)

In case you are still not clear on how to turn a MM race into a PC race, follow the link in my sig. ;)

ecl It looks like a good +1 race, with lots of potential thanks to the costumization options. I'm a bit wary about the stacking of the energy resistance, though. Might be better to make it different energy types instead.

Indeed, it should be +4. So for this dog (as probably for most animals) using HD equals character level will work just fine. ;)

This topic has come up before. On the old Houserules board there used to be a thread about a 'complete' list of monster ECLs. Several awakened animals were included as well. As for your question: Yes, ECL would apply in these cases. Just use the system to estimate the value and work from there. ;)
