Advise in creating a Cleric with LA & RHD

[aligi]

Hello :smallsmile:
I dunno where to being... this rules are very confusing. Trying to create a Lumi/Cleric MM III page 98-99. This are my final rolls: 12, 10, 14, 15, 14, 16. The party is level 7.
From what I´ve been reading so far:
Racial Hit Dice: A lumi begins with two levels of outsider,
which provide 2d8 Hit Dice & Level adjustment +2.So this makes the character level 3 cleric? But...
In between says:
Special Attacks: Spell-like abilities (see above);

Spell-Like Abilities: At will—disrupt undead (DC 10),
light; 3/day—cure light wounds, glitterdust (DC 12). Caster
level 3rd.

Need help allocating stats, fix LA & RHD for a more balanced buffer or related. Also, there is no other cleric in party :smallbiggrin:

Thanks in advance.

If they have 2 RHD and a +2 LA then that means a Lumi with 1 Level in Cleric has 3 HD (2 racial and 1 class) but is effectively a lvl 5 character. Thus your Lumi could be a Lvl 3 Cleric Lvl 2 Outsider with +2 LA and be an ECL 7 character.

Don't.

But more seriously, besides allocating your stats properly (just as any other cleric) and taking practiced spell caster, I can't think of anything that would make this less of a problem.
Ask the DM for LA buyoff?
