[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 1970297, member: 478"] Doesn't look bad, but many specifics don't look right to me. (Note: I mostly looked at the PHB class compositions, only browsed over the rest in like 30 seconds for now, will read it more closely later, tho, promise!). Bardic spellcasting is only worth 17 points!? I mean, sure, it's neither a wizard's nor a cleric's but 17 is a tad low, nonetheless. Then you give 30 points for a poor BAB. In all honesty, that should not be worth that much (poor BAB is not half as much in practice as a good BAB - sure, it's exactly twice as high, but that does not say its worth only twice as much in practice, it's much higher than that (in the same way, that two 5th level chars are not equal to one 10th level char, but rather one 7th level char)). It also seems, that you have not figured in how much more a free choice (or broad choice) is worth compared to a fixed choice (or narrow choice), i.e. the fighter's bonus feats are each worth 2 points it seems, as are the monk's bonus feats, yet the fighter has more choice and therefore those bonus feats ought to be worth more. You just have to compare the human to the demihuman races, and you'll see what I mean. That's what I could find in the quick glance so far. Maybe I'll give you some more later. :) Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
