[QUOTE="Storm Raven, post: 2167698, member: 307"] And yet, they are all wildly different from one another. Some can see in the dark. Some can't. Some are resistant to magic, some aren't. They have different sizes. The differences between most of the standard PC races are a large as the difference between them and a warforged. You just think the warforged are radically different because they are new. Except I would, if the party was of sufficient level that the LA didn't make him over the party norm. [i][/i] You get accused of it because that's what your argument boils down to. Basically your argument is "different means I have to be flexible in challenging the party, and that's bad". I'm only reducing your argument to its essentials. I haven't called you anything that you haven't called yourself through your arguments. And if you are too inflexible to respond to anything that is unusual, then your DMing skill are pretty feeble. [i][/i] LA isn't a wierdness scale. You are measuring the wrong thing with LA, and that's your problem. LA is a power scale. And when you balance out their advantages and drawbacks, they come out to an LA +0. Wierdness doesn't enter into the picture. [i][/i] I think you are inflexible and incompetent because you can't adapt to the relativley minor challenges posed by an LA +0 race. I'd allow a great red wyrm red dragon samurai, at an appropriate level for the party, but that's a different kettle of fish, because it's [i]not[/i] an LA +0 race. That you can't figure out the difference there just indicates that you aren't really thinking through your arguments, rather than just spluttering objections. [/QUOTE]
