04-15-08, 08:10 PM My question is : do Aasimars and other level adjustment races get bonuses from there race type along with the bonuses listed in the monster manual.

Like since Aasimars are native outsiders , do I add in the hit die outsiders get and the BAB bonus? Say a player of mine was a Aasimar Paladin 1 (ECL 2 ) would she have a BAB of +2 for the outsider level and the paladin level , or just the 1. Would she get the hitdie of a outsider and the paladin hitdie for ECL 2 along with the 8 + int skill points outsiders get? How do I go about making the aasmiar paladin? Thanks in advance , Ive never had races like that down.

04-15-08, 09:23 PM Aasimar do not get racial hit die. Even if they did get one it would be replaced if they have a class level, with the hit die of that class level.

Level adjustments are like phantom levels, they give you nothing, but make you need more experience to gain a level. If starting above 1st it also counts for calculating wealth by level.

For a 3rd level party a aasimar would have 2 class levels and the wealth of a third level character.

So basically a Aasimar has to have a class and basically level 2 , meaning if they were the aasimar paladin they would be the equivalent of a level 2 character with BAB +1 skill points 2+int x 4 , and a hp of (do to D10 hitdie taken at max for level one and if they had a 0 con bonus) , right?

Thanks a bunch :)

Yup. They'd have the stats of a lvl 1 Paladin (plus the Aasimar racial traits of course), but count as a lvl 2 character for all other purposes. And yes, they get the things anyone get at lvl1, like max HP and x4 skillpoints.
