[QUOTE="Wycen, post: 5963417, member: 13732"] Mechanically and maybe flavor-wise as well, your dragon-born is too "4E -ish". You have a bloodied condition, with the serial number filed off. The breath weapon uses a stat mod instead of flat or level based adjustment. Also, considering the variety of parentage possible, dragon-born would seem likely to be a Pathfinder race that gets +2 to a stat of their choice. Why a bonus to CHA? In this case maybe because you consider their force of personality. But what about the fact they look weirder than half-orcs, orcs, or whatever? Wouldn't green/red/black/blue/white dragon-born instill fear which would be a closer match for a CHA penalty? Obviously you can solve that by writing them into the core, which I suspect you've done in your own game already. Speaking of core, I'm not sure about the races in the new Advanced Races Guide, but the core races don't have anything like a built in lethal attack. Either the dragon-born could choose a feat to gain a breath weapon or else you have to find someway to balance that by dumping other things like skill bonuses or something. Just my two cents. I personally want to play a warforged in a non-Eberron campaign but of course that has 3E roots. [/QUOTE]
