I have not found a copy of T20 to purchase at my FLGS yet so forgive me if this issue addressed in there.
Does T20 address creating and playing ECL races? If so how?
For those not familiar with ECL (Effective Character Level), it is a race or template that would make a PC (or even an NPC) more powerful than a standard race.
Too wit,
A human in just about any D20 game is usually a base race and would be considered ECL +0. An Ogre PC (for various reasons) would have an ECL modifier of +3 (if memory serves). So in essence a 1st level Ogre fighter should be about equal with a 4th level human fighter. Just the basic concept.
Could you create a higher power race, say ECl +1, and trade off a 4 year term of prior experience?
Do ECLs work a little different in a game that is more focused on skills than levels? Non-combat action than combat??
