Are templates playable?
I was newly introduced to D&D 3.5 and I am still learning. This site provides the perfect environment to do so, for which I am grateful. I must say what was strongly repulsing me is the class system which tends to spawn the same exact archetypes every game; and what finally hooked me up is the templates and endless possibilities of playing unexpected monsters and stuff. However I am harshly realizing that the LA is a heavy burden which render the whole thing mostly unplayable, more often than not. It seems there's a general consensus on that, and really few tricks to mitigate the drawback.
What's your take on this? any personal experience? some tips to share? maybe a whole party with the exact same LA?
