[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 1603360, member: 13966"] Aye, the Outsider type is rather advantageous over the Humanoid type usually. Anti-outsider stuff is generally Protection from/Magic Circle against Alignment spells, Outsider Bane magic weapons, Banishment/Dismissal, Planar Binding, and maybe a rare few I'm missing (referring to core rules only, of course). Some low- and mid-level spells are only effective against Humanoids, most of them offensive or manipulative rather than beneficial (Daze, Charm Person, Hold Person, Dominate Person, Sleep I think, etc.). Without the Outsider creature type, the Tiefling you posted would probably be balanced at +0 LA as a Humanoid. If it stays an Outsider, then you need to slap on something like a -2 Wisdom penalty and Light Blindness (like dark elves) while reducing the skill bonuses to +1 each in order to make it balanced at +0 LA. As for the Feytouched, they're a bit more powerful. Unlike Outsider, there are very few effects that specifically harm/weaken/repel Fey, so only the more generic stuff like Charm Monster, Hold Monster, and Dominate Monster really work on them, whereas Banishment/Dismissal and such does not. So, for your LA +0 Feytouched, remove the Dexterity bonus. That should make it fair for their capabilities and resultant immunities, or at least close to fair. [/QUOTE]
