I'm not planning on re working the entire system and I don't particularly want a grand unified system, just to hash out some simple changes that'd prevent some of the glass cannon syndrome.two main issueslack of hit points (Um yeah, no reason needed)lack of HD (spells such as holy word, blasphemy and the others)OK I know that LA is there to add to racial HD to add to class levels to balance against a 0 racial HD and 0 LA creature. How it seems to me (I'm willing to be proved wrong) that the loss of HD for the higher LA races really really hurts.I'm thinking ideally that the races should be set up as "racial levels" much as racial HD are added. This seems a lot of effort (perhaps immpossible) apart from maybe sorting it out on a  "so you want to play a what? lets see what we can do basis"Some options I've consideredgiving each "level" of LA a HD (no bab no save progression, and presumably no feats or skill points) probably not a d8 more like a d4 or even a d2Counting LA in addition to Class HD and Racial HD for spell effects (using ECL instead of HD basically)giving con mod x LA bonus hit pointsany ideas, contributions, smack down, war stories people want to share?</blockquote>
