For example, Aasimar is worth its +1 LA, and the reason is, Aasimar are iconic Clerics, and Paladins, and everything they have makes them better as both Clerics, and Paladins. They are unquestionably good at being their Iconic classes.My issue with drow is, they are unquestionably poor at their iconic classes, and good, as is, at weird, other alternative classes that in truth, they shouldnt be so good at. So, to make them acceptable as their iconics, I take the stance I do. Now, in our games, we dont use Drow as written, but Living Eberron does, with a +1 LA, and I've not heard any complaints that they are overpowering the modules. That tells me something. The RPGA is notoriously serious about removing overpowering options, remember.I dont think we're disagreeing, I just think you are looking at the abilities in isolation, when they need to be looked at as a whole.Aasimar are a race of good people, who aspire to ideals of good and worship gods, they make great paladins and great clerics. LA justified.Drow are a race of evil people, who aspire to worship Lolth, and do terrible, dark things with magic, who make terrible mages, and pathetic clerics. LA not justified.</blockquote>
