[QUOTE="Particle_Man, post: 1503732, member: 892"] I have been discussing the Blue on the Wizards Boards and some people said, basically, that any race, (any race at all), with a +2 Int (or any mental stat) must have a LA higher than 0 because they are better at something (in this case it is claimed that they are better at being wizards and psions) than the core races. I wanted to test that out with a new race, called the Turquoise. Str -16, Dex -16, Con -16, Int +2, Wis -16, Chr -16 (Note: All stats for the Turquoise have a minimum of 3 after racial ability adjustments) Medium Move 10' (they are deep thinkers, but slow) Favoured Class: Psion Languages: Turquoise, Common Bonus Languages: Goblin, Orc, Giant, Draconic, Abyssal So...does this race look too powerful to be LA +0? Because some guys on the other board seem to be arguing that way. Basically, I was trying to get people who thought that the Blue in the XPH warranted a +1 LA to post a "Blue Lite" that would have +2 Int, but be LA +0 by virtue of having other drawbacks from the Blue as written. Presumably, the "Blue Lite" would be somewhere between the Turqouise and the Blue as written, for power-level. I did not expect anyone to seriously argue that the Turquoise above was too powerful to be +0 LA. Have I missed something? [/QUOTE]
