A friend sent this to me, and I was wondering what you guys thought about it. It looks okay to me...probably an undead created by a lich for personal protection. Thoughts?

Unnamed as of yet, I"ll explain the bonuses and the rationale

Natural Armor +4- LA Adjustment +1 (Allows for NA of up to +5 as +1 adjust, so will count as a - for other abilities)

Speed- Reduced by 10 ft- It's a minus, but not an LA changer

Natural Attack- Slam 1d8- Doesn't pass the value of a one handed martial weapon for damage, and doesn't give me extra attacks- so it is neutral.

Powerful Build- It's a positive, but not an LA changer, as it doesnt' effect stats or reach

Turn Resistance +4- Allows a turn resistance of up to +5 without changing LA, but I"ll count it as a definite positive

Flesh Dependency: Diet Dependant- Not listed in Savage SPecies, but is certainly a negative

Unbalanced Stat Bonuses- Level Adjustment +1

Fast Healing 3- Not sure if it quite warrants an LA, the Troll's regen 5 is worth LA 2, so I'll leave this up to you

Stat bonuses would be:

Str +8, Wis +4, Cha -2- everything else would be unchanged with con becoming --

Overall we have a +2 (or 3) LA with 3 negatives (lower NA, lower speed, flesh dependency) and 2 (or 3) positives (powerful build, turn resistance, fast healing)

Looking at it, I think by the acid test it would probably fit into LA +2, because it seems on the definite weak side for LA +3.
