[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 3298789, member: 6562"] Cool. The harpoon mechanics might need a bit more tuning, like what if a foe readies an action to sunder the cable, and is using an adamantine weapon? Ranger favored class and a NEGATIVE caster level if he takes Ranger? What's your goal here? How about: [b]Focused Enmity[/b] (Su): An Exterminator's natural weapons are considered to be whatever alignment or material is necessary to penetrate the damage reduction of any of its favored enemies. Still seems like more of a class feature than a race feature... or maybe a racial feat. It's a better Ranger than the Ranger. Does this stack with a Ranger's favored enemy bonus? I don't like this racial feature, since it looks like a bonus class feature hidden in the race section. How about some racial substitution levels instead? Hmmm... so an Undead Exterminator would have some trouble "smelling" his prey. IMHO this feature is unnecessary, and also wonky. Is this sense foiled by [i]nondetection[/i]? How about [i]mind blank[/i]? Does it stack or overlap with the normal favored enemy bonus to tracking? - - - Here's an idea: make the harpoon and natural slam attacks into some sort of psionic mind-blade kinda things. That allows them to be sundered, and yet still usable the next round. You could also make him able to boost his harpoons via the Soulknife class. Hmm, as a combo Ranger / Soulknife, he could be pretty cool. That's all I got for now. :) Cheers, -- N [/QUOTE]
