The guideline for assigning LA is as follows: a monster is compared to the most similar class from tier 1 to 4 (so a nymph would be compared to a druid, a naztharune rakshasa to a rogue, and an ogre to a barbarian), and given an LA that makes it comparable to a PC of equal ECL (for example, a +1 LA centaur with a single barbarian level is considered to be about on par with a 6th-level orc barbarian, while a +0 LA centaur would be too strong).


Some monsters and templates may have a LA of '-0'. In such a case, I technically recommend a LA of +0, but the resulting monster will probably be weaker than a comparable PC of the same ECL. Consider asking your DM to strengthen the monster somehow to make it more appropriate as a PC. At lower optimization levels, creatures with this LA may be more balanced: use your own discretion.


Some monsters and templates may be marked with an asterisk. In such a case, the rated material has abilities that are not simply strong, but entirely game-breaking. Examples include an efreeti's ability to grant essentially unlimited free Wishes, or a nightmare's ability to use ridiculously powerful high-level spells at-will at a very low ECL.

In such a case, no LA is going to make these monsters truly balanced, with the resulting PCs being either one-trick ponies or overpowered abominations. Instead, they will be rated as if they didn't possess the offending ability, with the asterisk indicating the actual statblock cannot be rated properly. Anyone wanting to play these creatures is advised to simply do away with the ability in question.

The asterisk is not necessarily 'this will be tricky to normally use'. It denotes 'this has an ability that would be completely broken if allowed, and the rating assumes you remove it'.

The problem with 'low movement speed' and 'has to find a host' is that there's no real trait to remove. Take away 1 ft. movement and... replace it with a basic human walking pace? Remove the symbiont's power restrictions when unattached? There's no obvious way to remove

Furthermore: we've rated monsters that wouldn't fit in most dungeons, monsters that need water to breathe, monsters that die from water, monsters that would get run out of any civilized place, and monsters that explode if you leave them out in the sun. None of those traits got them asterisk-ed, because the underlying assumption that they'd only be played in the campaigns that could accommodate them.

What monsters did get an asterisk? Those whose abilities would innately and effortlessly disrupt any campaign. A dryad can't be used in any campaign that involves 'going places'. An efreet can't be used in any campaign that involves, well, the PCs having goals.

Regarding item slots: we are operating under the assumption that monsters with unconventional body shapes may lack one or more item slots, as suggested by MIC page 219. Amorphous creatures do not have body slots at all, while headless/armless/legless/etc beings lack the slots associated with the limbs they don't have. The only exceptions to this are creatures that are specifically stated to have different slots, like some of the beings in Lords of Madness.

If a monster normally has less than three Intelligence (such as animals or mindless creatures), we assume the creature somehow manages to get to at least three Intelligence, as that is the minimum for sentience in D&D 3.5e. Because the specific method(s) used may affect its other stats, we have no default method for doing this and just assume that part is handled at the individual tables.

"Do not bring up Freedom of Movement when rating a grappler." - AKA Most things will have some ability that something is immune to. We rate for general usefulness, not how it deals with things that specifically shut it down.

Some creatures in this archive are from 3.0 with no official conversion. There will likely be some oddities that you wish to handle at your specific table. such creatures are marked on their specific pages.

LA -0, but I want one as a mount.

That's something to think about (that's beyond the scope of this thread): All these creatures with animal level Int that aren't required by RAW to have intelligence that low, do you think there are the occasional mutants aware enough to realize their species are basically animals? I mean, at a 3 you might have a dim awareness of yourself and be able to outsmart just about any one of your kind, but you might not realize you're that smart. But what if the powers that be roll a 14 on your Intelligence? You have an Int of 6, which is completely possible for, say, a half-orc. What kind of reaction do you have when you realize your parents are animals, but you aren't? What if by some cruel stroke of fate, you start with an 18 (reduced to a 10 with that -8) so you can actually comprehend that somehow you alone are the only sapient member of your species? Do you go all Planet of the Apes?

There are two inevitabilities here: the OP, and the fact that this thing is getting LA -0.

I admit that I don’t want to run into one of these in a dark alley, but I also don’t want to be in a party where one is my dark ally.

The em dash does not exist in this thread! Begone!

I'd be willing to try one anyway, but not in a game where people are counting on my contribution.

Considering just how many piles of skulls (and only skulls) there appear to be in this world, I propose that they are some form of naturally growing flora that populates monster lairs.

Easy -0. The "lost secret" to creating these things can stay lost.

I think this is the first time anyone's proposed that a monster needs an asterisk because its flavor text is overpowered.

Probably the wrong thing to get hung up on about a creature with hand mouths and eye spikes but I can't stop wondering whether it can properly move its arms or just wave them around a little. That dress (wrapping?) really looks like it should make it hard to move the upper arms.

Having "Weapon focus (Monk)" as a bonus feat is hilarious to me.

All within one post.

After some discussion, it was determined that the vast majority of these variants aren't enough to warrant an LA increase on their own. That said, assigning them all +0 would mean most could be stacked to something that would be. Therefore, with the following exceptions, each of the Libris Mortis undead variants is worth an effective +0.5 LA, so +1 for each two you have.

Variant Name	Estimated LA

Vampire, Moonbane	-0 (This is the one straight downgrade in the chapter.)
