Your favorite LA +1

[Stalker0]

Dwarves, nices bonuses, good stat bump, all around good LA +1.

Oh wait, their LA +0

Gotta say, Catfolk are my second favorite, and Draconic are number three.

None of them are considered powerful, I think, but I think they're pretty flavorful.

Thanks everyone, has been very helpful.

Catfolk have a movement bonus and a +1 natural armor bonus.
Aasimars gets Daylight (ok, it ain't the best), and Resistance to 3 kinds of energy.
The Resistances are a key strength of the Aasimar.

Their 'key strength' is something which quickly becomes largely irrelevant? Personally, I think Aasamar are very weak at +1 (and Tieflings are even worse).

I too am a big fan of the Goliaths. I like their bonuses and I like their style.

I'm a big fan of goliaths as well. Lately I've been wondering, what would be a good penalty to apply to Goliaths that might cancel the +1 LA? I've personally been thinking of something like a sizable penalty on all CHA and CHA- based checks when dealing with other races or something like that.

Necropolitans (Libris Mortis) don't have a LA, but you lose a character level when becoming one. If done early in one's career, this is a super cheap cost to become an undead.

Hehe... Necropolitan sounds like corpse-flavored ice cream. Chocolate, zombie, and strawberry.

Taking away the +4 STR and the powerful build ability would do the trick, I'm sure.

Just a quick statement in the Aasimar's defense... they are immune to Hold Person. Sure, being a native outsider has a few drawbacks, but not being coupe de'graced at early levels is a boon.

True, but so is just about everyone else with an LA, and most of them have other benefits too.

lol, well permit me to rephrase...

"What would be a good penalty - short of taking away their granted qualities - to apply to Goliaths that might cancel the +1 LA?"
