[QUOTE="Sylrae, post: 3899974, member: 48520"] I ran it through a LA calculator, AND the DMG also says for LA Int and Cha are Interchangeable at even quantities. The Damage Reduction, by the calculator and by the people I talked to ends up not adding to the LA because of the Double Damage from Cold Iron. Maybe that could be tweaked. As a Fey though, I felt I needed to work cold Iron in there somewhere, and if I just gave the penalty then it would be unbalanced in a far crappy way. Hence +5 to try to cancel the Double Damage. Maybe the Fey Blooded thing is a bit much but I was thinking that it would be an addition to the fey type in this campaign, not JUST specifically this race. By Default its a level 1 feat for Fey characters. I can't remember where I got it though. I saw it in a dragon mag I think somewhere and I wrote it down. Maybe I should switch it back to the Feat and just make the Favored based on whether you have that feat or not? IMO Int-Cha interchangable. But I dont run all combat games, and I'm someone who wont play a half orc because I think their negatives far outweigh the positives. STR isnt worth double in my opinion. I'm a firm believer in the ALL STATS Considered equal variant. Which stat gets emphasized is dependant on the dm. I've played in games where combat gives no XP and all XP is RP Related. Lots of Social Rolls. INT, WIS, and CHA were far more useful. It depends on the Campaign. The guy who is going to run the next game im in runs about 50/50. the +10 movement may make it a tad better, but according to the calculator (I know its not perfect) this race is equivalent to wood elf. If someone has suggestions instead of scrapping everything it would be more helpful. Like if the DR of 5/ cold Iron isnt balanced by double cold Iron damage (I believe thats what an Fire Elemental gets for Cold Damage) - How could it be adjusted and still keep Cold Iron Effects. Resistance 50%/Cold Iron is Definitely unbalanced. This is the area I think needs the tweaking. That and maybe dealing with the +.1LAishness of the etxra 10 feet from the hooves. Also they have horns, but the race doesnt use them like a ram does, so I assumed no attack from it. Should I give them a horn attack and give them a negative, or just assume the horns are some mating thing or something, not a combat thing. [/QUOTE]
