[QUOTE="Camarath, post: 1227619, member: 11987"] Because you added +3 to the base (WotC) LA of the Half-Dragon template and added no appreciable benifits IMO. I will give Soldarin's system a go but I still think your LA is too high. LA Breakdown for Half-Rust Dragons [COLOR=Red]My Opinions using Soldarin's system[/COLOR] +0.5 - Potential for Flight [COLOR=Red]Should only be included if granted. [+0/+.5][/COLOR] +0.8 - Allowance for the scaling of hit dice since they are of the dragon type [COLOR=Red]Should only be applied if the creature actually has racial HD. [+0][/COLOR] +1.4 - Natural Armor [COLOR=Red]Ok a bit high IMO [+1.4][/COLOR] +1.0 - Breath Weapon that scales with level [COLOR=Red]IMO a 1/d ability is not a real Breath Weapon. This should count as a minor power. A 1/d Line with 1d4 per 2 levels (average 1.25 per level) damage with a save for half is barely worth that. [+.2][/COLOR] +0.5 - Metal Resistance Ability [COLOR=Red]Fair IMO [+.5][/COLOR] +0.2 - Low-Light & Darkvision [COLOR=Red]Not worth counting in the same category as blindsight [+0][/COLOR] +0.2 - Immunity to Sleep & Paralysis Spells/Effects [COLOR=Red]Fair IMO [+.2][/COLOR] +1.2 - for the Physical Ability Bonuses (+8 Str & +4 Con in this case) [COLOR=Red]Fair IMO [+1.2][/COLOR] +5.8 - total of the above (rounds to +6.0) [COLOR=Red]+3.5 or +4 if Large size or bigger (round to +3 or +4 Large size or bigger) [Final LA +3/+4][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
