The problem I am having is that I don't like the LA system. If I remember correctly in Libris Mortis some of the Undead had "Race" levels that spread their special abilities out across several levels that took the place of class levels and simulated the LA. For instance lets say the Lizardfolk is an LA+1. For first level you'd just be "Lizardfolk" and not have a class per se. Instead you'd have racial HD, BAB, saves, special abilities, etc. Upon gaining 1000exp you'd become character level 2 and take your first level of a class (say fighter). So you'd be a Lizardfolk Fighter 1 and ECL 2. You know what I mean? My questions are: 1) Am I remember how it works basically (i.e. the Undead's version) and 2) Has anyone done Centaur and/or Lizardfolk? Thanks... I hope I make sense. :)
