[QUOTE="Herzog, post: 5664407, member: 25696"] Although I haven't taken the time to calculate the results, it looks like just another way of stating the level progression while taking LA into account. (if not, where exactly does it differ?) It might make things more simple to explain, but doesn't actually change anything (does it?) As stated by Dandu, I like using the LA buyoff from UA/SRD, although I find it has one flaw: Some creatures get an LA because of special abilities, that are easily duplicated by magic items. This LA doesn't scale with level, so LA buyoff is a good option here. Other creatures get an LA because of significant stat boosts. Although this is also easily duplicated by magic items, they DO stack with the item adjustments, meaning both the LA creature and non-LA creatures can get the MI boost, with the LA creature coming out on top. In this case, I find that LA buyoff will eventually result in an (unfair) advantage for the LA creature. Do you (or anyone else) have a suggestion how to account for this discrepancy? [/QUOTE]
