[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3675053, member: 29014"] Considering its abilities, Blade of Orien granting full BAB is rather strong. I don't think any fighting-type Fighter or Barbarian d'Orien character would ever want to take their base class instead of it (Swift Leap Pounce Barbarians are scary!). On the other hand, there is an implicit requirement that you have to be a half-elf, so it's probably okay. I'm going to assume you mean it gives the Blindfight feat and not Blindsight for Cyre Scout. If you actually mean it gives Blindsight as a feat, we need to quickly change someone's vote to disallow it, as Blindsight at level 6 is crazy, even if it costs a feat. Orien Battle Stride looks like it isn't on the table yet, which is good--I can't believe it also gives +4 to all those checks in addition to the other ability. Just the 5 foot step is already massive. I particularly oppose the Vigour spells as written, which I think everyone already knows. This will be an issue for the Dragonmark Adept feat. Ray of Retaliation is *really really really really really* strong. Why does it automatically succeed? Why is it an Immediate action? Against Polar Ray, it's almost better than Spell Turning. The others look fine--the broken feat I was particularly worried about was not on this list (whew!) [/QUOTE]
