Hi all!
For my starting character on these boards I've been bouncing around the idea of a Centaur. I've always loved these noble creatures, the problem is that they're kind of up there in level, having both 4RHD and 2LA. Now, I've read on one of the threads here that you might allow the E6 system of reducing Point Buy to accommodate high LA. Using this system I'd have a 34PB left. This flattens out most of the stat bonusses Centaurs get, though I'd still be able to get a fairly high STR modifier. I kind of feel the 4 RHD are punishment enough to compensate for the other stuff.
Would you guys allow me to use this system or would you rather have me use the regular method of reducing LA?
Second question. How do you feel about Incarnum? It might be a bit of a confusing book and I'd rather ask first before giving you potential headaches. I'm not sure yet I'll do anything with the book, but it's nice to know if I have the option.
Thanks in advance!

We already allow LA buyoff following the normal rules, which are noted in the guide to new players. Additionally, no matter what your starting LA is, you can buy off the first level of it at 3rd level.
We are also allowing up to half of your racial HD to be retrained.

We are also allowing (on a case-by-case basis) reduction in starting stats to offset LA. I don't think the Centaur would qualify, as it is low enough to allow for you to jump in with one level of LA bought off. You would get to retrain 2 of the racial HD, buy off one LA, and start at ECL 5.

Actually, retraining racial HD and the LA buy-off is perfect. I was hoping to get at least one class level in at ECL 5, this means I can get two. Double the fun!
Re: second question. Is Incarnum alright with you guys? Specifically thinking Totemist.
Edit: moved homebrew question to the appropriate part of the forum.

I'm not sure I understand LA buy off, but I'd like to play a Drider, so where is the link I'm looking for?
Edit:Found it, (I think) thanks!
