The one thing that comes to mind immediately is that the only non-superior weapons with +3 prof. are swords and daggers. Not that that should be an ironclad rule. ETA: Also, why is a blowgun a light blade?

Haha, we'll see. I've also got centaurs on the backburner at the moment for finishing after catfolk (mainly for the challenge of figuring out how to make a large PC race work). I'd have to think about lupins a lot, because for my races I like to have a new or at least interesting take on them...

Ah well, Arrakis is the actual name of the planet Dune in Dune (and according to google and wikipedia seems to be the source of the name or at least the most-well known use of it).

Hey thanks, I love them, too. Also, I'm still working on some tweaks for this (to the net and the trident, mainly), as well as a new race inspired by Red Steel's Rakasta (plus a light but hopefully effective update for unarmed combat) that should get released sometime next week. (I'm calling...

I love the idea, but why is it named after Dune?

No, when you're grabbed you're immobilized.

Since it's a Heroic tier feat, just take it at low levels when it's useful and retrain it later when it's not...

Now this is one of the group abilities I can actually understand... intimidating a guy works better when you've got a hulking (half-)orc standing at your side.

If a monster is trained in Perception it's still not listed in his Skills list, because it's already listed in Senses. You can tell a monster is trained in Perception because its bonus equals its Wisdom modifier + 5.

AFAIK it's not mentioned anywhere (at least not in the monster creation rules, which is of course where it should be), but if you look at the monster blocks in the MM it's one of the easier deductions to make. I don't think I've actually seen a monster that doesn't follow it.

I agree, but the rules aren't clear about using another weapon while holding a two-handed weapon in one hand. (PHB pg 215: "Some one-handed weapons are light enough for you to use in your off hand while holding another one-handed weapon in your other hand." But that section isn't really rules...

1. Hmm, I'm not really comfortable giving them speed 4, but what about simply removing the ability that negates armor speed penalties? Same effect for heavy armor users, and if you're a light armor user 5 speed is probably still a questionable trade-off for +1 AC. 2. That's . . . a very good...

1. Well, in 3E/3.5 tortles were basically crappy dwarves, so that's okay with me. :P But seriously, could you point to anything specific that feels "too strong"? It seems to me that while at first glance they look powerful, actually examining their individual features reveals them to be less so...

Download the PDF (links to my blog, because due to a flaw in wordpress's file system I have to change the filename with each update) Because giant turtles are awesome. Comments welcome, with a few notes-- 1. They have a racial bonus to AC. Not in the style of 4E, yadda yadda, I don't care. 2...
