Does the shardmind seem overpowered?

[OhGodtheRats]

Never seen Read Or Die eh?

I thought the main point of Read or Die was that BREASTS are awesome?

I don't know. Paper can be pretty dangerous in D&D.

Eh, that paper was made from the skin of wildens

So we can expect the Scissorlimb race for PHB4?

Nah, this is Wizards of the Coast. They'll go old school and bring back this bad boy:

Edit: Oops. I Hotlinked to myself and got COcky. I was originally talking about the ScissorLizard, from MtG's Unbound set. (It defeated the Paper Tiger but was vulnerable to the Rock Lobster. )

If Minatours and Wilden were at all decent races. Like if they didn't completely suck at most things, then we wouldn't be having this discussion.

What's so bad about these two?

 

[Flipguarder]

They have very little going for them compared to say telepathy, closeburst CA powers, 3 skill bonuses, damage resist, synergistic Racial powers and Paragon paths.

The minotaur is fairly underpowered compared to every other Str/Con race. They have basically one trick - the goring shove or whatever it's called. And their other ability works only when they get knocked to 0. Now, with some feats, they aren't bad - but they are pretty far short of most other classes.

Wilden... well... hmmm... Does "weird and kinda boring" count as a flaw?

-O

IMO, there's nothing wrong with the wilden (I quite like them actually), but the minotaur is one of the weaker, if not the weakest (in terms of racial features), of the Str/Con races. Probably their biggest issue is that their racial abilities really pigeonhole you. Now, I don't think you'll be totally screwed, or even really that disadvantaged, if you play a minotaur and I'm sure they'll get some nice things in the future.

Not that it matters much, but do note that the Minotaurs in the PHB3 are different from the Dragon ones...they're not a Str/Con Race.... they're a Str/Con or Wis race. I'm pretty happy about the Change...the Minotaur makes in interesting choice when you're looking to make a Wisdom-based character.
