You have an extra level of fighter. You are comparing the dead level of fighter in the ECL0 race to the useful level of fighter in the LA'd race... Also if you actually play characters with 3 levels of fighter, then I would say you NEED that extra power boost. Its pretty common knowledge that...

yes

You guessed correctly, but your example was wrong. A Level 3 wizard to a level 1 wizard ogre sounds about right :) There are ways of balancing ghestalt to non-ghestalt but they are painful. Are we talking about the one in the SRD? They have no listed LA so they are not PC races...

It doesn't sound like a contradiction. I did mention that those examples had their own bonuses. I simply followed the logic of them stacking with the size table or not. The Wu Jen spell Giant Size is a bit off also (it throws out -2dex, +2nat, +4con) Nope. It mentioned HD as one possible way...

Yes, you do get the size increases. The size table is whenever any creature changes size. The really powerful part is when some temporary methods (expansion, enlarge person, giant size, etc) also granted typed bonuses. Since the size chart has unnamed bonuses... they stack. Keep in mind that if...

Yup. I'd say my ECL variation helps if you are willing to have a slightly powerful campaign. It allows players to still optimize (if they want to) but regardless play a 'fun' race without being pitifully behind. Like ghestalt, but not nearly as bad,

Yes spells do give specific benefits. But some PCs simply do change size. Savage progressions and Templates do this. They do not always list the specific stat bonuses because everyone knows to use the sizing table. Otherwise why give it? Indeed some templates remind you of the values that the...

No. Its better to err the other way. I have played campaigns with all monstrous races and all free RHD. And we were all power gamers. As long as the DM knows that its slightly strong, its fine. Ghestalt is stronger. Try this: Give the first LA*2+1 in RHD for free (they simply don't count...

I see a correlation Excuse a little thread necromancy but this interests me. Could I get a list of the 'other' sizing tables? I have only ever seen the MM one (which is also core) I also have not seen a speed change for sizing except in flying maneuverability. Also the FAQ doesn't...
