While browsing monsters of faerun for my list I come accros a number of "monsters" that look perfectly playable as races, perhaps with LA. But they don't give any information on the subject.

I'm thinking of those monsters:
Aarakocra (p11): Probably LA 1 for the fly speed.
Bullywug(p25): Hardly worth any LA
Gibberling(p52): Perhaps LA 1 because of their immunity.
Hybsil(p61): LA 1 again for their spell like ability
Siv(p78): Hard to tell probably not worth LA

So any idea why the book lack information to play those race (or other), did I miss something, an errata perhaps ?

You didn't miss anything, They're just not playable right out of the book is all*. Also, I think LA was a bit diffrent in 3.0


*Note: working with your DM and use of savage species may amend this.

Try the Races of Faerun book.

IN that book, only the Aarakocra is presented for play. Info is on page 131.

Why would you want to be a Gibberling?

I'm not sure how LA work in 3.0

Thanks for the info. LA 2 then not worth it unless you use LA buyback.

I don't want to play one, but with only one HD they could theorically be playable

There is a 3.5 update to Monsters of Faerun on the Wizards website with listed LA for some monsters.

The monster stats have been updated in the Player's Guide to Faerun web enhancement (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20040313a).

The LAs tend to be on the high side.

Can't seem to find it either. It was included in the brazilian print of the book, though.

Thanks I was looking for an update specific to the book not for faerun in general.

And your right they have hefty LA.
