[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 3376774, member: 13966"] I've updated the Leaflings and finished their descriptions. I tweaked their stats just a tad (poison save bonus replaced with a general fortitude bonus, paralysis resistance changed to immunity, think that's it), added a racial paragon class for them, added a racial feat for them, put in design notes for them, and added a few plot hooks. Also updated the boura-boura racial paragon class by shifting around the levels that extra poison, bristleback, weapon focus, and hunting prowess (now called hunter) are gained at, and gave them auto proficiency in the boura-boura quill-blade. I've also updated boura-boura with a few racial feats, and added several feats for urgogs as well. I've updated the urgog post also with a design note on making them LA+1 instead of LA+0 for those who may dislike the race's drawbacks for Regeneration. I've moved Osseofex into a spoiler block, but haven't updated them with further bone-related abilities or background descriptions yet. I still need to add background to Mistfolk and Vrym'ka as well.... More will be forthcoming on Somnii and Nemeons at some point, too. Now, I'll just give a bit of opinion/critique for other folks' contributions in the thread, since that's like half the point of the thread when Xereq started it...... Lapines: A neat race, and would probably be interesting to play or have one in the party. Rules-wise, I figure they're a bit too strong unless you use 3.5 dwarves as a guideline; I'd worsen the save vs. fear penalty to -2, and give them -2 on Knowledge skill checks to go along with their tendencies as written.... Faen: Unusual but interesting. I'd say they're a weak LA+1. Unfortunately it's missing some details, which would make it hard to use. I don't know what the Sentient Plant subtype does, so I don't know what Plant traits the race has exactly. The sidebar on Faen Whispers is absent, so I don't know what that does.... I'm wondering if Toxic Mind has any effect with Mind-Affecting effects that aren't psionic powers, such as those that are spells or monster abilities of a supernatural nature? Also, it doesn't say anything about whether or not it's more difficult for a creature with psionic powers that don't cost power points (due to being psi-like abilities or whatnot) to use them on the Faen. The Speak with Plants ability should probably have a different name, since it isn't clear if it works like the spell of the same name. Faen are lacking any mention of languages, favored class, or details on age categories and culture. Drelanni: Kind of neat, think I'd like to play one, but there's a lot about them that's left undescribed or vague.
