Indeed. I wasn't lobbying for a higher LA. I was trying to objectively examine what it could do well/best. And that was the best I could come up with. I think -0 LA wouldn't be unreasonable, honestly, though it MIGHT be +0 LA at 7 HD just because it's able to keep up with a 7th level fighter. Maybe.
