Hi I am having a bit of trouble understanding the ECL rule ??
I am starting a carter at level 3 the race is Goliath and thy have a +1 level adjustment .
Would that make my Goliath a level 2 fighter with the xp of a 3rd or do I make him level 3 with the xp of a 4th

Thank you for your time ...

(This is from memory... sorry if it's wrong.)

ECL = Class levels + Racial hit dice + level adjustment

When you "start at level 3," that means you start at an ECL of 3. So you would be a Level 2 Goliath Fighter with the experience of a Level 3 Human Fighter.

Level 2 fighter with level 3 xp...so you'd need the total xp of a level 4 to level to 3.

That is correct.
