Now I know in Weapons of Legacy it says that PC's should never be monsters of legacy...but has anyone figured out an LA for these things anyway?

Does no one want to touch this, or is it in the wrong section?

Why not? I haven't WoL, but still...

I don't know why, but it says that PC's should never use these creatures and that it takes all LA's away

It would be very tricky and difficult to assigning an LA to the Monster of Legacy template, because of so many Spell-like abilities and other special traits. PCs would logically choose the abilities that they like or benefit them the most. Afterall, knock at will, above average healing abilities, constant mind blank....

As such, you would have to figure out potential combinations of special abilities, assign an LA to that, make sure some of the spell-likes aren't abused....

If you really want it in your campaign, I would just give it to the entire party and say that they have LA +3 (since the special abilities depend on HD), and call it a day. That's just off the top of my head, so mileage may vary.

I didn't think about the fact that it is based on HD, so that does make it a little better. I was thinking around +3 or +4. It wouldn't be that much worse than say Half Fiend or Half Celestial, with all that they get, and they are a +4 (if I remember correctly anyway)

Any other suggestions, other than +3?

+7, I believe. Look in the MM2 Update booklet.

It won't be in the MMII update. It isn't in the MMII

I beleive he refers to the Monster of Legend template found in MM2.

I realize what he is referring to. It just isn't what I am looking for. I am looking for the LA for that Monster of Legacy, not Monster of Legend

Okay, judging by the scaling of the CR by their spell like abilities, I'd give The Least Legacy +2 LA, Lesser Legacy +4LA, Greater Legacy +5/6 LA.

Is that stacking LA, or giving them that number if they have up to that level of ability?

Change it to that if they have upto that level. Don't stack it :P
