Seldriss 05-12-07, 04:04 PM	La = Level Adjustment. This is the modifier some races get for their abilities. ECL = Equivalent Character Level. This is the actual level of a character. It is calculated from Class Levels + Racial Hit Dice + Level Adjustment. Let's say you want to play a bugbear 3rd level druid (hey why not? that would be a hairy druid !). A bugbear has 3 racial hit dice and a level adjustment +1. Racial Hit Dice : 3 Class Levels : 3 Level Adjustment : +1 ECL : 7 So your character is estimated at level 7.
Melayl 05-12-07, 04:06 PM	Ah. Ok, thanks.
Seldriss 05-12-07, 04:13 PM	No problem. Any other questions ?
Asahisa 05-12-07, 04:16 PM	you dont sound like an idiot I was asking the same thing yesterday X3 I am going to be DMing a campaign for someone who wants to make a werewolf. meanwhile I personally wanna make a pixie lol. both have +4 total level adjustments. the whole thign is still kinda confusing but I think I kinda get it now... lol
Seldriss 05-12-07, 05:24 PM	There are no stupid questions. Nobody knows everything and these forums are made for that.
Melayl 05-12-07, 06:40 PM	I just felt stupid because I knew I should know it and was getting confused. I think I've got what I was working on sorted out now. Thanks again.
