[QUOTE="Legildur, post: 1810314, member: 1258"] Can someone help me make sense of the following from the 3.5E FAQ: So, character level affects feats and bonus ability points gained, and ECL affects experience point calculations. Is that right? The 2 italisized quotes above seem in contradiction to me. The example is an 8th level troll paladin PC (don't ask, and not mine). A troll has a +5 LA with 6 racial hit die. So the character in question would be have a character level of 14 (8+6) and an ECL of 19 (8+6+5). Therefore would have 5 feats from hit die and 4 bonus points to ability scores (as for a 14th level character along with saving throws and skill points), but be treated as a 19th level character for earning experience points and how many xps are needed to gain the next level (20th)? Is this right? PS I don't have Savage Species. [/QUOTE]
