LA +1 = 20% LA +2 = 30% LA +3 = 40% Etc... Of course Racial HD would still count against character level. Has anyone played around with such an idea? If so, how has it worked?
gbnogkfs 02-20-05, 07:08 AM	in the mid and long run, that would me much much worse for the characters... an LA +1 has to collect 190,000 XP to reach 19 HDs an LA +0 has to collect 171,000 XP to reach 19 HDs if you take 190,000 and subtract 20% (38,000), you end with 152,000 XPs, which are less than what required for level 18! for bigger LAs that would we even worse

How about using the same formula with a intrgrated LA buy off such as this? Level 1st level 2nd level 3rd level 4th level Adjustment Xp Penalty Xp Penalty Xp Penalty Xp Penalty +1 20% 10% -- -- +2 30% 20% 10% -- +3 40% 30% 20% 10% That way it keeps the XP hits within range of the actual LA in question.
