Are the ECL/LA ratings for these races accurate?

[Wolfspider]

Don't be apologetic! You're comments are appreciated!

In fact, I was considering making Noldor +2, Sindar +1, and Silvan +0...but I think that the Silvan Elves may be a little bit too powerful when compared with other Middle Earth races that are +0 (like most humans).

Oh, as far as invisibility goes, I'm treating invisibility as etherealness. For example, the Nazgul are not really invisible...they are ethereal and still able to influence the material world. The same with the One Ring.

I'm still mullling it all over, as I like to say. Any more suggestions?

What you could do is just make it like +1.5 levels or +2.5 for the too close to call ones. Like if soemone was an elf that was +1.5, then humans would start with 2000xp and the elf would start with 0xp. Kinda like in betweening it.

Could you please define what:
Magical skills are considered cross-class skills
means?

Does this make an Elven Wizard need to have to buy Spellcraft as cross-class? Does it mean that an elven rogue gets Scry as cross-class?

I think this needs to be better defined.


The Avari might be a little weak at +1 LA. It is close.

A Noldor Sorc would be pretty impressive. I would want to try a 6th level Noldor against a 9th level character to check this one.


I notice you didn't give any of the races automatic weapon proficiencies. I would be very tempted to give any elf an automatic proficiency with bows.

Greetings,

I think the elven races would be like this:

Sindar and Silvan elves (They are the same but living in different locations I think)

· +2 Dexterity, +2 Wisdom, +2 Charisma
· Medium-size
· Base speed 30 feet
· Low-light vision
· Immunity to sleep spells and enchantments and non-magical diseases. Sindar, as all Elves, are immune to aging. They do not sleep, meditating instead for about four hours every day.
· +2 racial bonus on Listen, Search, and Spot checks.
+4 racial bonus on Knowledge (Nature), and Perform (Sing) checks [Silvan] or +4 racial bonus on Craft (Make boats) and Profession (Sailor) [Sindar].
· Lore skills are considered cross-class skills.
. 1xDay Pass without trace.
. Inmunity to ghost fear (rembember in Middle Earth there is only human ghosts).
· Level Adjustment: +1

Noldor

· +2 Strength, +2 Dexterity, +2 Wisdom, +4 Charisma
· Medium-size
· Base speed 30 feet
· Low-light vision
· Immunity to sleep spells and enchantments and non-magical diseases. Sindar, as all Elves, are immune to aging. They do not sleep, meditating instead for about four hours every day.
· +2 racial bonus on Listen, Search, and Spot checks.
+4 racial bonus on Craft (Blacksmithing), and Appraise checks.
· Lore skills are considered cross-class skills.
. 1xDay Pass without trace.
. Inmunity to ghost fear (rembember in Middle Earth there is only human ghosts).
. Inner Light: +2 saving throws of Fortitude and Will checks vs The Shadow (from any source).
· Level Adjustment: +2

I really want to know what do you think about them. Thanks a lot!
