Hmmm...I'm not sure I agree with you on this. For some casters (particularly arcane casters), I agree with you. They gain basically nothing for a tremndous loss. But, many classes can benefit from receiving such a large package up front by multi-classing with a monk. Druids get the Wis bonus...

"Egan. Do you have means of dealing with poisons or traps? This box here is the only item that appears to be protected--it may be too valuable to leave behind, and too dangerous to carry. Any suggestions? I will carry it no matter, but I wish to be cautious if possible. But first, I want to...

That is quite a horrid smell. I've never experienced the scent of old death before--it's worse than the smell of the town! Gholog, there's something golden by the elven skull. Perhaps some relic of the deceased? You would think it would be covered in filth, though. Perhaps it's more recent?

Re: the games begin... With a slight sneer, Kyloren will respond, "My oaths prohibit the use of such....tools. I am here to watch."

..........Speak of the Devil........... OOC: Sorry for the delay, folks. As Aust mentioned, I've been busy away from my computer the last bit. Kyloren, dressed in a deep blue cloak over simple clothing, will walk the streets watching the revelers. His thoughts wander, to memories of events...

"Do any of you have any skill dealing with poisons? This box contains posion, but I'm not sure how, or why? It may be a trap, but I can't find any trigger."

Zap2it also ran a story--which contains mostly teh same information, but presented in a slightly different way: LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - While there are those legendary tales of shows that have been saved by grassroots campaigns waged by devoted fans to later become hits of their time...

Adren will swiftly follow, his "not-as-keen-as-Gholog's" eyes will scan the darkness looking for any signs of danger. Once he reaches the bottom, he will also step off the platform to make room for the other party members. OOC: Is there enough room for my longsword down here? Or, would it be...

Yeah, me too. I still don't think we'll ever find out the full reasoning behind Farscape's cancellation. Their ratings certainly didn't justify it. For those of you who haven't seen Farscape yet--Now's your chance! For those of you who like the show (especially those of you that have a...

Will do!

With Monk as a favoured class, many members of this race will already have Evasion as a class ability. I would assume that many elite soldiers/fighters would/could have a level of monk somewhere in the mix. I don't like the bonus against ice or water. It's full of flvour, but I don't like the...

Hmmm...and it's a restriction players could overcome by taking a feat if they so desired.... I'll have to think this over. A penalty like this might be enough to add something small back in.....

Giving them an increased sized die for unarmed attacks (ie: claws) would definitely push them into ECL+1 territory, so I never really considered it. The weapon finesse is there as a nod to cats, and to represent the most common fighting style for the race. I hate the term, but Scent is the...

I like the idea of a penalty that's specific to the race, but I had a much shorter-haired race in mind than I think this suggests. I'm considering a penalty in bright-light as suggested above by Merak. As far as the tail issue--they are supposed to be more cat-humanoid than bipedal-cats...

Re: Re: New Race: Is this balanced? Well, thanks! ;)

Actually, I've never dumped Charisma before, that's not the reason. The reason was that cats tend to be easily frightened or startled depsite acute hearing. Plus, since they are from the underdark and usually live in relative isolation, they won't exactly gel with "normal" society. Much like...

I deliberately avaoided giving them a strength penalty for two reasons: 1. The only core races with a strength penalty are small sized. 2. I think the fact that the designers decided that strength was more important than any other stat (hence the half-orc's penalties to two stats) is...

How are the ability mods unbalanced? They are the same ones Dwarves get. :confused: They would still get fewer free feats than an elf. I am thinking the extra movement is a bit much, though. So let's strike that out.

In Clay's defense, as you can see, the intact piece is really quite nice. It's all those extra, jagged pieces...... :D Yeah, Canada Post sucks. I received a Santa/Crimson Skies ornament from WizKids for being a volunteer, and it arrived broken despite being well packaged. It might have...

Hi! I'm working on a new race for a campaign that's ongoing. My usual method is to look at elves, dwarves, and halflings when determining if it's balanced or not, since feats are tough to gauge when it is open choice (for humans), and half-orcs are kinda boring in term of their racial...
