I am specifically thinking of playing a Hobgoblin (+1 ECL) because I love their culture in Eberron.  Second: In Unearthed Arcana (pg. 18) they have a system to "buy off" level adjustments by paying a certain amount of XP after a certain number of levels.  As a ECL 4 character, these rules will allow me to be an ECL +0 Hobgoblin, but only 3rd level (and therefore a ECL3 in a ECL4 party, until I can catch up) with 3000 XP.FInally:  How do you do XP?  Do you do it "by-the-book" giving lower ECL characters more XP allowing them to catch up?  Do you give a flat number to all players?  Do you just decided it's time to level everyone up and hand the level out?  These questions have some bearing on weather I'd want to play an item creator or not, and weather I'd even want to play the Hobgoblin using the Unearthed Arcana rule.Sorry to be lots of trouble.  Even if you shoot down the Hobgoblin, I still have lots of other ideas ready to go!</blockquote>
