[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 89268, member: 2525"] You do not "lose" two levels with a LA. Remember, it's the low levels, which come quickly. You are also with a higher level group, thus those exp points come faster for you as well. The normal way of dealing with LA is to "delay" by only really 2-3 game sessions some of your "abilities" (levels, which equate to certain abilities like more spells, hps, skills, feats, and the like). By reducing those racial abilities in the lower levels, you are essentially accomplishing the same goal, delaying advantages for several game sessions. In every normal LA situation I have experienced, the player catches up to the level of the other players in the group fairly quickly. They don't really even notice the loss at all by level 5-6 (It's the same as solo'ing an ogre really). Ask any player of a 20th level character if delaying 6000 exp during their PC "career" is, in their mind, the same as "losing" two full levels of experience, and you will see what I am getting at. It isn't really the same thing. It's just a way to represent a slight delay. [/QUOTE]
