ECL..where did it start?

[Geron Raveneye]

Can anyone point me to the source where ECL first started to make an appearance, and where it´s explained how it works and how to judge a Template/PrC on their ECL? I´m trying to design a half-vampire template, and I´d be grateful for this info. Thanks around

It first appeared in FRCS, though it has a lot in common with the class equivalent system in the DMG. For more info on ECL I suggest you follow the link in my sig.

Dragon 293 is a good source as well, especially because it has tons of examples.

Dragon 293

Got it..thanks for the pointer
The Genasi are a nice comparison source for ECLs (or Level adjustment, as they call it )

This particular issue of Dragon is impossible to get here in Europe, apparently.

I've yet to find it here, either.

Hmmm...strange...

...I live in Germany, and my local comic shop imports them from the US... :shrug: ...and I got it right here for some weeks now...
