[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 2805436, member: 8461"] Hey U_K, Some material I wanted to post regarding the Cogent: It has "damage reduction 50/epic, lawful and mindless". What exactly is the "mindless" requirement? The "minds eye" special quality should be "mind's eye". It has regeneration 50. However, nothing is listed insofar as to what causes lethal damage, then. I'm guessing this should be fast healing 50. The cogent should have a total of 34 feats. While there are that many listed currently, the Multi-Attack feat (correctly spelled Multiattack), is a bonus feat, and so doesn't count. What's more, you have Power Attack listed twice. So, you should delete the redudant Power Attack and add two feats. Also, I'm not certain why you have the Multiattack feat listed for the Cogent at all; its full attack listing is 40 bites, all as primary natural weapons (which is fine), meaning that there are no secondary natural weapon attacks for the Multiattack feat to reduce penalties for. Also, I thought it'd be cool to make a psionic version of the Cogent, since they seem naturally inclined that way. Attached is the Word document with the entry for the Psionic Cogent. It also includes the psionic versions of the Automatic Metamagic Capacity and Metamagic Freedom epic feats. I hope you approve and enjoy! Also, thanks for the update! I'm downloading it right after I'm done here! :) EDIT: A few things now that I've looked at the edited version, U_K. One, I love the bookmarks! However, I do wonder if you might think about bookmarking the new magic item properties, artifacts, epic spells, etc. Those are things people can easily lift, so they'll want to be able to zoom in on them. Also, I see you dealt with the issue about the Cogent's DR. However, the line on that reads a bit strange. Shouldn't it instead say "The cogent's damage reduction protects it against natural attacks from sentient creatures or intelligent weapons." since "non-epic and natural attacks from sentient creatures" seems to imply that epic natural attacks from sentient creatures would overcome the DR, which it wouldn't. Also, the Adaption power might require some clarification; you may want to add that they don't take damage or penalties from any natural environment, just to be safe. Also, while you added that to the Adamic dragon qualities, the Nehaschimic dragons still need it. Also, the Legendary template should say that it also adds the Extraplanar subtype. Other than that though, great job! EDIT AGAIN: I've removed the Word file here for the Psionic Cogent. Instead, there's a link to its entry in the d20 NPC Wiki further down. [/QUOTE]
