No level adjustment on the reworked guls? Yowza. Problems with that. If one wanted to play a melee class, why play anything else but a fighter? With all those extra hit points, and that big fat strength bonus, everything else seems like a poor choice.
...We're boing ANNOYING about this subject, we know. We're trying to be helpfully constructive, though, so you should learn to put up with it. *grin* (Again, this issue could evaporate this May, but species /will/ be more work to design. Maybe just say, "Shut up, Big Black!" for now.)
Oh no no, there is definitely going to be a level adjust! I just don't have enough experience in assigning them to decide. Over on FurAffinity Jace thinks it should be +2. I did not assign any levels of Monstrous Humanoid to them, since a lot of gul start out in "class" training when they are little more than toddlers. Still, a 1st level fighter gul is going to have an ECL of about 3.
As for the 'Why play anything but a fighter', bear in mind they were DESIGNED to be fighters (or barbarians). They could also make decent Rogues, and there is the occasional gul mage, priest, or druid, especially female gul.
