If you want them to be balanced, the total you get when adding them together should be +0 or less. In your case it ends up at +8, which is unbalanced, that in itself is enough for a +1 LA.The when you add in the favored enemy ability, the skill bonuses, the bonus to attacks against Mind Flayers, the save bonuses, the psionic, and spell-like abilities you increase the LA by +1 again, perhaps even +2. Giving you an LA of +2 or +3.Now if you want to make them LA +0, you seriously need to nerf their abilities. I suggest you start by dropping the Cha modifer, and reducing the Int modifier to +2, giving them +2 Dex, +2 Int, +2 Wis, -4 Str, and -2 Con. That should reduce the LA by 1. Then you need to get rid of some of the attack bonuses, as well as most of the psionic/spell-like abilities. The skill bonuses can stay, as can the save bonuses. I suggest you keep the following regarding the psionic/spell-like abilities, then get rid of the rest:Naturally Psionic (Ex): Moggae gain 1 bonus power point at 1st level. This benefit does not grant them the ability to manifest powers unless they gain that ability through another source, such as levels in a psionic class.Force Screen (Ps): Once per day a Moggae can manifest an ability similar to the psionic power Force Screen. This ability works just like the Force Screen power as manifested by a psion of the Moggae's character level.You could exchange the Force Screen power for another 1st level non-damaging psionic power of your choice if you wish, but if you give them more than one power would increase the LA.Also, a small suggestion, either reduce the racial HD by one or drop them entirely, your players will thank you. If you reduce it by one you gain the ability increase advantage at fourth level. Something you wouldn't get otherwise. If you drop them completely, the race would be on par with other gnomes in power (if you do the changes suggested above).Good luck.</blockquote>
