If you have a monsterous race that has an inherited template, would it be appropriate to lower teh LA as the resulting creature would be signifigantly less powerfull than the sum of its LA's.

In particular, a Half-Celestial Gargoyle.

The flying, darkvision, and damage reduction are completly nullified by being a gargoyle to begine with, so what would a fair LA be for such a creature?

(ECL 13 withought class levels just seems a little silly for the creatures abilites)

I would lower it, if my players somehow had redundant abilities.
