[QUOTE="Drobney Falcor, post: 5718721, member: 6673591"] Okay, here's what I think I'm going to show to my player: Rakshasa (Medium Outsider) Level adjustment +2 [LIST] [*]+2 CHA, +2 CON, -2 WIS [*]40ft speed [*]60ft Darkvision [*]Automatic Languages: Common, Infernal, Undercommon [*]2 Claws (1d4 + STR bonus) [*]Vulnerability to Blessed crossbow bolts (Yes, it must be bolts) [*]Change Shape (1 change and back/day) [*]Detect Thoughts (1/day CL=Spellcasting levels) DC:12 + CHA bonus [*]+5 on Disguise (When using Change Shape) [*]+5 on Disguise and Bluff (When using Detect Thoughts. Stacks) [*]Spell resistance= 12 [*]Natural armor +2 [/LIST] I felt the original bonus for disguise when using change shape (+10) was too high considering the original bonus available when used in tandem with Detect Thoughts (+4. For a total of +14). So I bumped Detect Thought's bonus up 1 and Change Shape's bonus down 5. I didn't want spell resistance to be too high since I consider it one of the most powerful abilities that this race has access to. So I kinda used your suggestion for the monk's similar ability except had it at 10 + 2 (2 for the level adjustment). This still has the possibility of being bumped up (I'll talk with the player) If this still isn't quite a +2 level adjustment, either too powerful or weak, final tweaks could be made. For the time being, however, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and I'm sure the player will accept it as well. I'll probably reach him today and discuss it over. When we've finalized the decision I can post if it you'd like. You've done a great deal of help in balancing this character. I still have his custom made class to adjust (The Tyrant) and I may start up another thread if I'm having trouble. Cheers mate! [/QUOTE]
