DragMag with all MM1 creatures LA
« on: November 22, 2016, 12:09:02 AM »
So I checked my metacompendium but I didn't record a useful tidbit. There is a Dragon Magazine entry that lists LA for all monsters in core, no matter how outrageous it would be for players to play. Like, say, a Titan. Where is that Drag Mag?

Ages ago Zook1shoe gave me that info for my arena.  Here is what I managed to dig out.  It will take me a bit more digging to get the actual issue number for you though.

Edit:  It was easier to find than I thought.  It was Dragon # 293.  :cool

That's kinda  :(
Oh right, they were going through the phase of wanting people to Not play monsters.

I presume Savage Species un-nerfs many of these.

The Vargouille looks like a pretty... interesting deal if you're playing with LA buy-off.

I mean, it has a solid type (Outsider), nasty special attacks, and decent flight. It sure isn't worth +3 LA, but if you can bypass that...

As I recall the issue also gave LA for lots of animals and even some vermin, but I didn't include those for use in the arena.

As usual, the LA becomes a lot less crappy if you can work these into a gestalt build.

Oh. Thanks. I didn't need all that, but for when people look at this thread in five years and the images are gone, the issue is 293 p54
