04-23-07, 12:05 PM hmm. as said in the forum you gave me a link to, that one is a little crappy. i mean, i have a template called radical regenerative that i applied to that, and all i got was a 0.4 level modifier. geez, this thing can regenerate like a troll for pete's sake!

04-23-07, 06:25 PM I would recommend against using LA calculators and similar systems, as they cannot fully account for stacking and overlapping abilities. The only fool-proof method for determining LA is actual playtesting. Because that's time-consuming, most people use the acid test.

The acid test simply involves comparing the abilities of a human with class levels to a level 1 character of the race.
