[QUOTE="DM_Matt, post: 2674442, member: 1213"] Hmmm. Trading levels is a lot easier. The buy method is a weird XP formula and I prefer that the PCs all level at once upon completing certain campaign objectives (for instance, the first time you leveled was upon completing the Waterdeep Prologue). Also, staying away from the specific numbers allows powerful PCs AND powerful enemies without some weird rebalancing, and even still, the CR system is not made for such large parties. Finally, going from an Aasimar to a Half-Celestial is mechanically less simple tan it appears. Aasimars can't have the Half-Ceelestial template, since they are by definition humans with less than half celestial blood in them. I would acutally have to turn you both into a Half-Cel AND a Human, or else make up a new race that is essentially a featureless base with the Half-Cel on it and then figure out how to balance it. I'll think about ways to work this, but trading levels certainly seems more streightforward. [/QUOTE]
