[QUOTE="Autumn, post: 3366106, member: 50015"] Just a little advice on the fox: you're probably making things harder for yourself by giving it feats (Weapon Finesse and Alertness) since playable races only have certain pre-allocated feats if they come with monstrous HD (and actually even then I believe you're entitled to choose different feats when you're making a player character of that race; those feats are just the standard ones that NPC members of the race have picked for their monstrous HD). I assume that you'd rather have a race with no HD, just (possibly) an ECL adjustment. In which case you'd be better off scrapping the feats. You could still give a +2 to Spot and Listen in order to represent the fox's natural alertness. If on the other hand you did for some reason want a race with monstrous HD, then those HD should be Monstrous Humanoid levels; hence the HD, saves, attack bonus and skills would all be as a Monstrous Humanoid, not as a Bard. Also, might be worth considering a +2 Int (the spell is called Fox's Cunning after all :p), probably with a -2 Wis to balance it out. Sorry for sticking my oar in if it was unwanted, just thought I'd throw out my thoughts on the race. * * * I've read up on Ptolus; thanks for giving me a reason to do it, Deuce Traveler, it seems like a really interesting setting. :) Should hopefully have my paladin posted tonight.
