There are some popular core races that have a LA, but for the most part aren't worth it, so here's my ideas on how to "fix" them so they would be more viable


Half-Dragon

The Half-Dragon Template, while powerful and pretty cool, isn't worth it when you only get +2 Con and a breath weapon that doesn't scale with characer levels, for a +3 LA. Wings should be available for any size as well, so here's my adjustments to it.

+8 Strength +4 Constitution +2 Intelligence +2 Charisma
*Breath Weapon Save DC equal to 10 + half total character hit dice + Constitution modifier
*Wings for any size creature The wings have an abiilty progression similar to that of the Raptoran's allowing you to glide at first, fly a number of rounds equal to con at 6 HD, and unlimited flight at 11HD. Speed = 60 feet with average manueverability



For the Planetouched races, I decided to let their SLA's stack with level so they could get more use out of them, as well as some bonuses with or against spells. I was thinking about possibly converting them to a template, too.


Tiefling

+2 bonus against spells with (evil) descriptor
Darkness spell-like ability per day based on HD/4

Aasimar

+1 caster level on spells with (good) descriptor
Daylight spell-like ability per day based on HD/4
