Question: About LA, I've never used that so can someone explain it?

For the purposes of this campaign, you have 5 Free LA. This means you can choose a more powerful race than normal - normally you can only play human,dwarf, etc, who all have LA 0
You can choose a more exotic race, like, say, minotaurs.

You could also modify existing races with things like templates, which also add to the LA.

If you want some suggestions, I'd be happy to give you some for the kind of character you want to play. :)
