Respectfully, I do think there's some truth to the theory that some creature abilities have a greater impact as part of the party than as a single encounter.  Nowhere near enough to justify some of the outrageous LAs printed, of course (trolls and ogre magi have always been a sore point with me), but it's something.  (A mind flayer, for example, is not worth ECL 15, but is definitely more powerful than a 9th-level character.  Especially the psionic version.)<br/><br/>Anyway, I'll try to get a sheet set up sometime this weekend.
