[QUOTE="Sylrae, post: 4846026, member: 48520"] Why are you catching up? I mean, I can see you catching up in terms of levels but still being behind in XP. Oh, you mean because of the different xp rates for combat. That depends on how DMs award XP. We were finding people in our games tend to run off and do encounters by themselves, or with one person missing, so the level spread was getting too big between players. Now we award session XP, but not combat XP (when I run it or when other people run it. and I should note, having your +2 LA character start at -3000 xp would still catch up pretty fast if they started receiving higher xp for things. When everyone was level 1 they'd get the same xp, but eventually they'd be facing CR 3 monsters and only being level 1, they would catch up fairly quickly in that respect. Your complete control book sounds appealing, but I can't buy a new book right now so I can't check it out. and I don't know that I would end up using it. I hope to have my book done by the end of summer, and then I will only be using my D&D books for fluff. Possibly maps and pictures. And I've played things with an LA +6 and like 6HD before (Succubus - but this is from memory i may be off). youre totally crippled in terms of classes, and it really hard to advance. And the UA rules you'd never work that off. Especially since our campaigns have never gone epic.My Idea, would make the Succubus a level 6 character with 16000 experience debt(assuming youre using them in a 6th level party), and you could have picked up the abilities gradually with savage progressions if you started the game at a lower level.
