It defines my logic. It says, hey, if you are anythingbut human (or elf, dwarf etc.) your learning ability sucks. So, despite however more powerful you are supposed to be, weaker races always walk over you.And this is how I think whenever I try to make monster npc and even for a while consider using LA.I don't care a damn about it's supposed game balance effect. It ain't that right even from that point of view. LA:s tend to be way too high for what they are worth.So I don't use LA at all as such. I use certain CR-calculation system of my own. If I allow monster characters, I just make sure party-members are equal, unless someone specially wants to be weaker. And then I just raise party-level considering how much less challenge certain critter is. I have to alter CR-rewards anyway, since with many monsters challenge sure isn't equal between fighter-type party, compared to arcane-caster party or rogue-type party.</blockquote>
