[QUOTE="IstraRaugir, post: 5970310, member: 6669195"] So I've been leafing through this codex (net even close to reading it all) but while I'm seeing great improvements left and right I do have a problem with some minor areas. The first of these is with your 'new' senses: the DCs for Smell are ridiculously high (dropping them all by 10 points would be closer to 'real' values). Because noticing an obnoxious stench such as a ghast or rotten eggs is not something you would expect someone to fail at, yet the DC of 15 means that only 1 in 4 average people would notice it. Smell also seems to be missing any DC modulation for distance/age of a scent. Touch suffers from the oposite problem: recognizing someone's face by touch is something no one does and as such something nearly everyone would fail at. And reading words by accidental indentations in paper O_o no way that is below DC 20. In my view the DCs should be more like: 5, recognize a common item. 10, read ingraved writing. 15, sense tremors of someone moving around nearby. etc. Other than that I really love the sensory skills and I have been searching for something like this for a long time. I initially had a few more problems but a closer reading of your work has solved that already. All in all I have to say you did a great job and as long as there aren't any blatent copyright issues I would love to see this published. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some more reading to do :) [/QUOTE]
