I was paging through the Monster Manual I the other day, looking for low LA races, and very few of them had what I wanted. So I wondered: is there an algorithm or technique you could use to build or rebuild Monsters to a certain LA?
I came up empty, so I’m putting the question to the forums.
Edit, August 2nd:
I realize now that my original post was too vague, so I'm tacking on additional information, as well as a rough draft.
One of my players had wanted to play a Succubus (in 3.5e) but my game can only handle, as of right now, a +1 or +2 LA. I'm trying to put together a "lesser succubus" for him to work with; here's my first draft.
-2 Constitution, +4 Charisma. Lesser succubi are silver-tongued but not battle-hardy.
Medium size; space and reach of five ft. each.
Base land speed of thirty feet. Lesser succubi never have their wings grow in.
Darkvision out to 60 ft.
Two levels in Outsider, yielding 2d8 in RHD; 5 x (8+INT), min. 45, skill points; and one feat.
Weapon Proficiency: Lesser succubi are trained in the use of all simple weapons.
Natural Weapons: Claws (1d6).
Spell-Like Abilities: Once per day each - detect good, detect thoughts, suggestion.
Automatic Languages: Common, Abyssal. Bonus Languages: Infernal.
Favored class: Bard
Level adjustment +2.
Is this too powerful? Not powerful enough? What changes need to be made before this hits the table?
