reapersaurus said:Where does it state that getting the benefits of both the akutsukai AND akutenshi templates is only a +3 ECL?
(edit: ahhh... you read the akutsukai as +2 and the akutenshi as +1?
Problam: those are CR's, not ECL's.
There is a max of +4 ECL, and those would probably weigh in at about +15 ECL.)
reapersaurus said:
BTW: what ECL list are you working from?
The DM guide lists a Half-Celestial as +3 ECL, for example.
Would that be OK?
Or how bout a WereTiger? What's the ECL of that?
4-armed Mutant Sahaugin?
Look in the DMG, page 22 - that's core.DM_Matt said:Well, its never been ECL'd anywhere and its in a book full of stuff PCs can take, right after a pile of pres classes. PC-able templates (as in, those not in a monster section) tend to use CR and ECL interchangeably, such as Half-Dragons and Half-Cels...remember, this campaign from what I see above tends to intentionally ignore stuff like errata, so this is within the pale of insane lameness to allow. If the errata on the bladed gauntlets can be ignored, so can the rule changes that indicate that templates that give CR as Char level + X means anything but +X as a level equivalent.
