[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 4826955, member: 7635"] Well, it will absorb some of those "LA +1" races that were borderline (Hobgobin? Really?) so that "LA +0" can encompass a wider range of monster races. It wouldn't fix the biggies (the aforementioned rakshasha) but IMHO there are somethings that PCs don't need to be playing; Level adjustment be damned! For some races, it might work (does a drow need SR to be a drow? Or do minotaurs REALLY need 6 level of "minotaur" to be a fighter class?) but its still not a perfect fix. Then again, I don't think the Monster Manual needs to be a shopping list for PC races either; I'm content with "PC write ups" for the common PC monster races and NOT allowing Player Character Mind Flayers, Hill Giants, or Ochre Jellies. I'm also fine with the "near" races like changling being a "PC doppleganger" race or Krynn Minotaurs NOT being large and an ECL 8, for example. I just want LA gone from PC races like aasimar, tiefling, genasi, goliath or cat-folk. Still, if Paizo can figure something out that doesn't break my heart or my brain AND still allows you to have monstrous PCs, my hats off to them. [/QUOTE]
