There's one on my site (based on Soldarin's rules):

They give some good hints there.

| #1zombiegleemaxNov 30, 2004 0:21:08 | So I've been looking through my DMG, PH and MM, and I just can't seem to find anywhere it gives rules or guidelines on creating new races and what LA there should be for tweaking abilities. Can anyone help me out on this? I mean what amount of benefits without commensurate penalties does a +1 LA deserve? Or +2 or +4 adjustment? A place in a book would be helpful, or any resource someone could share. Thankooo |

| #4jon_oracle_of_athasNov 30, 2004 4:47:21 | But keep in mind they're guidelines. Use common sense. |
| #5gabNov 30, 2004 6:52:09 | There are some calculators available online that can give you an idea of what ECL (or LA) your character should be. These are mostly based on 3E (not 3.5E), but should still give you some idea of what to do.
