Why do you pay +1 LA for the priviledge of "Well, if you have +2 Dex, you only need to put a 10 in Dex to get the maximum Dex bonus a regular full plate allows. The points you save there can be spent on Con, effectively cancelling out those modifiers. Place a 13 in Con and an 11 in Dex and you end up with 13 Dex and 11 Con. Not a huge hit by a long shot"You paid a level adjustment to move con and dex both back to 0 via point buy? That makes no sense. Its accurate, but its part and parcel of why the race is bad for those classes.If the stuff your paying the adjustment for doesnt help, that clearly means it isnt worth it, for that class. The ability scores are configured in such a manner that most classes cannot use the full package, and most dont even use 2 out of 3. This means +1 of your LA is completely spurious, which is why when Wizards suggested trying +1 LA drow, with the same bonus package, only a couple of classes actually benefit, and none of them are the iconic classes.</blockquote>
