3.5 makes Savage Species useless!!!

[Leopold]

aarrrgghhh!!!

They rearanged all the ECL's and LA's for all the critters and made it free in the SRD! Then they go ahead and tell you how to do all the stuff to make a critter and make levels from it! Wait! Then they go ahead and start giving LA's to other things that weren't in savage species!!!

I still cannot understand why in the name of pete they did this?!@?!? Vampire ECL of 8?!?! are they insane?!?!? Does one hand know what the other is doing!?!? ARRRGHHH!!!!

Er...am I an idiot? I'm not seeing the ECL anywhere in the monster section of the SRD...

Edit: Ah, I am. Missed the bit about the all-in-one download not being updated.

I guess they decided not all templates should be just ECL +2. Like the Vampire. I mean, ECL +2? What were they smoking? I'm glad they sobered up.

Vampire template wasnt ECL +2. It was CR +2. ECL and CR are two different things.

Hm...upon reading through the -real- document, I'm a bit perturbed...half-fiend is bumped up to an ECL +4. While the new abilities may justify it (damage reduction 5/magic, 10 elemental resistance), as something that characters might actually take, it seems like it would be better if the ECL that wouldn't set the character drastically back in his classes - even if that does mean getting rid of some abilities.

I was planning to have a half-fiend cohort...such a thing wouldn't be feasible now until 9th level, and even then, it might not be wise, considering the class level of 3 that it would have.

you will see Level adjustment in the SRD and then all you do is combine the LA+HD=ECL it's in the advancing monster section..

because it makes a 30 buck book one bought back a few months ago useless and all the rules that go into it go out the window!!! I don't mind a revamp but they just made this book not worth the paper it's printed on...

Its all in the name of progress.

Savage Species wasnt 3.5 and never claimed to be. And remember, its all backwards compatible. That's what WotC told us. And I believe them.

So did you think Savage Species was never making it into the SRD or what? They just put it with the core books instead of making it a seperate SRD. Expect the same thing to happen to Epic Level Handbook and Deities and Demigods.
