[QUOTE="Paultimatum, post: 4918506, member: 80484"] Very nice. I like the flavor, and all of the cool mechanics. I had been meaning to make a homebrew elementalist class quite like this (with interesting combinations of effects) only with an aura/cool down class feature that i saw the idea for earlier on this forum. It's also surprisingly balanced for a homebrew class :p. I had a few comments about powers: Revel the Cadaver Am I missing something, or is this underpowered? Dazed save ends, but with a increasing bonus to the save, and even without that the average time they'll be dazed is about one and a half turns. I'd add something else, like a bonus to attack or damage agaist the target (maybe low vulnerable radiant?) or a penalty to attack. I could be wrong about the value of the save ends, with penalties to saves and whatnot, but at level one there arent too many of those. Also, the shadowfell bonus gives combat advantage, which dazed already provides (i guess it could come into effect if the target saves the first time and an ally goes between you and the target, but still). Grace of the Choir Again, strikes me as a bit underpowered. Maybe if the enemy took damage for all attacks, or all enemies took damage for attacking the ally. Could be wrong, but it is a daily. Contract in Blood I would add an effect that is usefull outside of skill challenges. Maybe you automatically know if they broke the contract? But that seems kind of like a ritual. Order of the Styx Since it's a daily, I'd make the duration save ends probably. Nice name though :). Bearded Tendrils For a ninth level daily, I'd add a bit more. Maybe they gain temporary hitpoints when they do the damage? Anyway, I really like the class, especially the mechanics. I also would like to see this to level 30, and paragon paths and feats and stuff. It's better to have some slightly underpowered things at first and add things anyway. Great job. [/QUOTE]
