Comparing it to the Aasimar:+2 Wisdom, +2 Charisma vs Dexterity +2, Constitution +2Both races have unbalanced ability scores; the Aasimar's are better geared for spellcasters, the Ling's for combat. Slight edge to the Ling because the stat bonuses can be useful for everyone.Medium size vs Small sizeAn aasimar’s base land speed is 30 feet vs A ling’s base land speed is 20 feet.The main downside to small size is arguably the drop in strength, which the Ling doesn't suffer. That being said, the drop of 10 feet from base speed can be pretty bad. Slight edge to the Aasimar.Darkvision: Aasimars can see in the dark up to 60 feet.Lings have neither darkvision nor low-light vision. Decided edge to the Aasimar.Racial Skills: Aasimars have a +2 racial bonus on Spot and Listen checks. vs. Racial bonus of +4 to Climb, Jump, Listen, and Move SilentlyMore bonuses and bigger bonuses. Decided edge to the Ling.Special Attacks (see above): Daylight.Special Qualities (see above): Resistance to acid 5, cold 5, and electricity 5.Lings have no special attacks or special qualities. Decided edge to the Aasimar.+2 racial bonus to all saving throws+4 morale bonus to saves vs. fear (this stacks with the racial bonus above.)Aasimar do not get bonuses to their saves. Decided edge to the Ling._____So, I'd say that they match up fairly well to the Aasimar. Although they might be a bit on the high side for LA +1, I think they'd be grossly underpowered for a +2 LA. But maybe someone can sway me.</blockquote>
