Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arkhandus" data-source="post: 5576477" data-attributes="member: 13966">I would judge it as an LA+1 race, roughly.The ability adjustments roughly even out in general value, but the combination of them and other spellcaster-favoring factors overall make it a net positive.  Just not as much as an aasimar's net positive ability modifiers.The Perform bonus is similar enough to an aasimar's skill bonuses or part of a human's extra skill points.  The low-light vision and extra class skills roughly balance this out with a human's extra skill points, with perhaps Timeless Body included since it's such a minor ability (I'm sure the OP would have indicated it as a psi-like ability or something if he/she meant it to duplicate some non-core psionic power or another, rather than the core-rules Timeless Body ability).The Luck domain granted power contributes to the race's +1 LA, like one or two of an aasimar's energy resistances.The Voice of Power and Torpor traits likewise compare to an aasimar's energy resistances in significance, give or take a bit.However, you really need to specify the limitations of Voice of Power; since it doesn't raise the level of spell slot needed, it needs to specify its own limits.  You can't let a low-level PC just freely Heighten his 1st-level spell to 9th-level equivalent with Heighten Spell, for example, and it would be kinda problematic to let 'em Empower their 1st-level Magic Missile or whatever, though not as much.  So you need to specify what limits apply to their Voice of Power's effects.The turn resistance and turning susceptibility are just kinda wierd and I figure they're close enough to cancelling each other out to be of little import (and besides, how often are you gonna run into an evil cleric trying to Rebuke someone who appears to be living?  Practically never, that's how often).I'd consider it a fairly strong LA+1 race (considering that aasimar and such are somewhat weak LA+1 races).  Assuming that Voice of Power has some reasonable limits in its metamagic enhancement capacity.</blockquote>
