Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sunseeker" data-source="post: 6227447">So, As you may or may not know, I enjoy playing with templates, PCs, NPCs, you name it, and I feel that Pathfinder has generally smoothed out the LA that made no sense in 3.5, but yet, some things still make no sense.  I have been generally under the impression that roughly every 6 levels negates a level of LA, more or less.  However, one template still confuses me; the <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/templates/half-celestial" target="_blank">half-celestial</a>/<a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/templates/half-fiend" target="_blank">half-fiend template</a> wherein the LA actually increases when applied to higher HD creatures, even though logically speaking, the bonuses are comparatively less.  Perhaps it is simply unclear, and level adjustment only applies based on how many HD the creature had to start with.  So, Bob the level 1 half-feindish knight gets a lot out of it, while Joe the level 11 half-feindish rogue would get less.  But that doesn't seem to make much sense either.  Honestly, my guess would be that this is a site error and that more HD creatures/players have the lower LA while lower HD creatures get the higher LA.Anyway, I realize that the SRD has errors in it and perhaps this is one of them, so if anyone could perhaps clarify this for me it would be appreciated.</blockquote>
