[QUOTE="Hawk Diesel, post: 6813254, member: 59848"] [MENTION=6802518]WaywardWaffle[/MENTION] That is a long post! I've briefly read through it, and I will address some of your feedback in more detail later. With that said, I'll say a little bit of where I'm coming from regarding the power level of the abilities. 1) I know that D&D is designed to have X encounters between rests. However, I think that after a certain point, that just doesn't make sense. From a game standpoint, you just aren't going to be encountering threats that often because creatures of that power level should not be that prevalent. At least from my thinking. Therefore, it's less of a big deal for abilities to recharge that quickly. But also, once again, at this level the game changes. You are one in a billion. You are nearly peerless in your skill. Any threats you face are much more likely to be far reaching in impact and effect. 2) I'm less concerned with balancing the players against the potential threats they would face (the DM should be able to get creative to make things challenging) but was more concerns how the classes balance against each other. So that's kind of where I'm coming from. Once I read over your post a bit more in-depth, I will have a better response. But I'm excited to finally bounce my ideas of someone and fine-tune this stuff. ^_^ So no worries if you were felt it was too negative or anything. I don't see it as being a jerk. But I also understand that people have different goals and style of play, and so I also take that into account when reviewing critiques of my homebrew considerations. [MENTION=57494]Xeviat[/MENTION] I totally forgot about that ability. That certainly changes things. I will reconsider this ability in this case. [/QUOTE]
