[QUOTE="Turanil, post: 2468392, member: 9646"] I like this concept. However, I would like to know why it is a "paladin" variant. Paladins fight for good and justice, and wouldn't associate with spirits that hunger to devour souls. I see this more as fierce war leaders with supernatural powers. So maybe the Detect Evil, Lay-on-hands, and Remove didease abilities are not appropriate? Otherwise, I would like to see that Tanguru who fell prey to their beast spirits become ravening shapechangers. I especially like to think about were-crocodiles and were-sharks! :) They would be great in a campaign (as foes). I think it is okay as a 10 level prestige class, but I don't mind it to be a core 20 levels class. As I see it now, it would be great to have islands of savage Polynesians who have Totem Barbarians, Tanguru (the leaders), and Druids, all worshipping some beast-spirit... In any case, okay, I will begin to work on the classes, as has been outlined above. It will take time however, as I have many other things to do. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following comment is not related to the d20 Project, but I would like to mention some parallels. The Celtic culture seems to have roots far back in antique India (so the concept of Indo-Aryan, where Aryans would have colonized ancient India was false, as is today recognized, but instead western culture had roots in India culture from millenaries ago). Now, from what I read, Polynesian people would have come from Asia in the first place. Seeing some interesting parallels between the Celts and the Polynesians, I am tempted to see them coming from a same cultural origin in the dawn of times, not in India, but in the continent that was sunken under water and is now the China Sea. But it's just a conjecture. :) [/QUOTE]
